A new integration, **Virtual Buttons** v0.1.1: [GitHub - LM1LC3N7/gladys-virtual-buttons: Gladys Assistant external integration to create virtual buttons and switches easily (push button, switch, timed switch) with a dashboard widget. · GitHub](https://github.com/LM1LC3N7/gladys-virtual-buttons)

It allows you to create your own buttons from the Gladys configuration screen, with a name, an icon, a color, and an optional confirmation, then trigger a scene when you press it. Three types: push button, stored switch, and switch that automatically returns to off after a duration. A „Buttons“ widget displays them on the dashboard (4 per widget). No hardware, no cloud, no reused library. The guide explains step by step the Gladys screens, and reminds of the alternative without integration: a scene in „Quick Actions“.

Limitations: a button does not control anything on its own, it’s a scene that acts when it changes; the state of a switch is not the real state of the controlled device; for a sensitive command (gate, alarm, boiler), take a push button with confirmation, never a switch. Confirmation only exists in the widget. No long press or double press.

It has only been tested with a fake Gladys, never on a real installation: your feedback is welcome in the GitHub issues.
