Being able to mount buttons anywhere is nice, and Philips even has a switch that works without batteries (the power for the Zigbee radio comes from the button press). Sending a signal over 5G to the internet and back however sounds like peak inefficiency for two devices in the same room that could choose any local wireless protocol

The module in that switch is made by EnOcean, they go back to at least 2006 (though the 2.4 GHz versions are more recent)
