Best Thread button/rotary encoder? (lemmus.org)

I’m looking for a Thread button or rotary encoder to control my smart lights, preferable under $15. It can be battery powered or wired. I have a border router across the house, within wifi range. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Sounds like a good fit for ESPHome.

I think I’ll try the IKEA thing that was mentioned in other comments, and maybe I’ll make something with ESPHome if I need something else.

I really want to try some of their stuff but it’s always sold out at the EPA store. I keep meaning to make a pilgrimage up to Emeryville but I have a suspicion it’s going to be the same. Plus I’d just rather visit friends if I go all the way to the east bay.

I think I just need to get out more 😌
