I’d like to add a smart button to my HA setup. I don’t have zigbee signal nearby, so I’m wondering what the best way to do this would be.

I’m using a Skyconnect dongle. There’s wifi nearby. I want to control a smart switch nearby, which would also have zigbee but that also wouldn’t reach the distance I need.

Is Matter a solution here? With a hub connected to wifi that bridges to the button?

Any suggestions on hardware?

Or any other suggestions?

    The product page for the sonoff dongle says 40-50 meters line-of-sight but it’ll depend on your walls and wifi interference.

      Oh cool, thanks. None of the ones I looked at showed range info that I could see. It has to travel through a few walls, but I’m sure one will do the job with the right placement.
