Push Button for Dashboard Studio

Hello, the technical backend is already working: a Homey flow sends the tested MQTT command homelink 2 to OVMS, which starts climate control on the Smart EQ for approximately ten minutes.

What remains is the best Dashboard Studio UI implementation. I need a real push button rather than a standard switch: after tapping, it should visibly stay active for ten minutes, glow red for heating or blue for cooling, show a countdown, and automatically return to an inactive appearance afterwards. The actual vehicle command does not need to be developed further.

What is the best Dashboard Studio approach: a button widget with a status/input topic and a Homey timer, or a virtual Homey device representing the state?
