I use the 4 button Philips hue dimmers. Mostly mostly because I already had some from before I started using home assistant, and then because it’s easier to add more or replace when needed. All reconfigured in node-red, all behave the same:
quick press of the on button toggles the room’s ceiling lights
quick press of the up button toggles the room’s lamps
quick press of the down button toggles the room’s fans
quick press of the off button turns everything in the room off
long press of the on button toggles the room’s curtains
long press of the up button brightens any lights that are on in the room
long press of the down button dims any lights that are on in the room
long press of the off button turns off all downstairs devices and locks the doors
