Ask HN: Create Physical hardware to interact with API
How would I go about developing a physical button device to interact with an API? Or computer in general.

I've used shelly products to do this before. They handle most of the hardware stuff if you are coming from a more software experienced side of things. It's basically an ESP chip that controls a relay. They have terminals set up to read switch or button pressed too. The project I had was to replace a garage door opener and have a switch set up to tell if the door was open or closed.
