Put a smart dimmer behind your own existing frontplate:

For black specifically, the Aqara Wireless Remote Switch H1 comes in black and supports press/double/long press. Pairs nicely with Homey.
THIS.
These are cheap and work well
Owned a few in the past
Worst smart home product I ever tried
Just don’t bother
Ah thats a Shame. They have never missed a beat for me. Not had to change a battery yet and had them a while.
Same experience here. I have multiple of them in use for multiple years without problems. Both the 1, 2 and 4 button variants. Initially paired with the Tuya Zigbee app; now via the dedicated Moes app that provides more capabilities.
Another option is the Candeo Rd/1 Pro
They are dimmers, they support true 2 way dimming, a smart detached mode so they can also control smart bulbs and they work with Zigbee2Mqtt, Hue, hubitat, smartthings, home assistant
So whilst not directly working with homey, you might get some joy with them. I don’t know how they work with press double press etc as i only use mine for 2 way dimming “dumb bulbs” and i have them connected to Hue and bridged into Homey. Maybe zibee2mqtt and then using flows which listen for devices actions. Might be worth a look.
Would be great to have a native candeo app if anyone has the knowhow to do this. I have asked Candeo direct but they have no intention yet but will monitor customer feedback
I wonder how this could work, f.e. Hue only supports generic Zigbee lights, switches and dimmers. So the dimmer attached to a light would be able to be added to Hue. But in detached mode, it wouldn’t be possible since then it would be more like a scene switch, and Hue only supports their own scene switches/remotes.
For decoupled mode it cant be used with the Hue Bridge. It mist be used with one of the other smart home platforms supported by Candeo. It can then control any smart bulb I believe.
I think Paul Hibbert has done a youtube video showing it with Home Assistant
Ikea makes a Matter over thread button. Mine is seem to recall other colors were offered.
