The porch, the hallway, the bedroom - each a fixture with several bulbs that had drifted onto the dashboard as several identical-looking entities. One control per fixture is the goal. So I grouped them, hid the individual bulbs, and moved on.</p> <p>Except one of those groups isn&rsquo;t like the others, and I couldn&rsquo;t stop thinking about it.</p> https://www.foogar.com/posts/2026-08-31-the-button-that-was-simpler-than-i-thought/ Mon, 31 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.foogar.com/posts/2026-08-31-the-button-that-was-simpler-than-i-thought/ <p>Sometimes the interesting part of fixing something isn&rsquo;t the fix - it&rsquo;s the moment you realize you were wrong about the problem.</p> <h2 id="the-one-button-button">The one-button button</h2> <p>There&rsquo;s a small smart button on a side table in the bedroom. The aim was simple: one press toggles the lamp plugged in nearby. That part worked fine. But I had a bigger question in mind - if this button proved useful, there&rsquo;d be more of them around the house, so I wanted to know just how much I could get out of one.</p>
