Physical remote control? (self.homeassistant)

Does anyone have any experience or recommendations for a physical remote control that can be used with HomeAssistant? I'm hoping to find a multi-button zigbee or wifi device that HA can recognize and allow me to configure buttons to HA automations.

I'm already using a couple single button devices that can be configured to perform different actions on single press, double press, and long press, but would love a single device with multiple buttons for some locations.

Have you looked on aliexpress? They're great for cheap zigbee devices (less so zwave). Just search for zigbee button. I know tuya makes a 4 button panel that I've used before, but there's several out there.

I'll probably go this route, thanks!

I have a bunch of Tuya and Aqara buttons from AliExpress and I’m happy with them. I haven’t found anything similar on Canadian Amazon at least.
