Have one sitting right next to me...

I really don't know what exactly your trying to do but does this get you any closer? I know the single channel one works natively in Hubitat.
MHCOZY 4 Channel 12V ZigBee Relay Switch with Clean Contact, Adjustable Self-Lock and Momentary Interlock Working Mode,Automate Garage Gate Door Blind(Zigbee Hub needed) Amazon.com
What only $23 - what a steal.
A big BINGO - This is probably the closest I will get from a high multiple count I/O from Zigbee.
Again, thank for the info.

But I think that is only outputs?

To be clear, the MHCOZY devices are not I/O devices. All they provide is control of multiple relays, ranging from 1-4 in number.
If you want real I/O in a zigbee device, you need something like a MonaLisa board. Available here:

With this combo, even though it doesn't fit my I/O count. It is generic enough to allow me
to reduce the cost on a lot of my HE automation and control applications.
FIBARO KeyFob Remote, Z-Wave Plus Scene Controller, FGKF-601, White (6 buttons) (Amazon)
and

Thanks guys.

Could an Led controller be repurposed? It's Tuya so good knows if it even works for its intended purpose.
My guess is there is no market for such a device. You may purchase one but I don't see it as a big seller.

Err no. It only sucks if itās done badly.
Nearly all my lighting and switching is done this way using Clipsal C-Bus; star and ring wired back to my distribution boxes. It works 100% every time, which you canāt say about any radio Z based technology. If I moved home I would definitely implement it this way again and definitely not ZWave or Zigbee, the latter admittedly not being well suited to a property built in 1720. Yes, it was harder and possibly more costly to install though., particularly if you are retrofitting, which I was. Lutron I believe works pretty well in suitable properties although itās not as widely available in the UK.
When I move home one wired link is all it takes to return my lighting to traditional operation. Should it ever āfailā likewise 1 switch returns everything to traditional switches / manual operation. Compared with all other RF based solutions that is such a great fallback. I donāt have to bequeath a HA legacy on the new owners. One drawback it doesnāt handle colour bulbs really but they are few and far between in my system and I use an RF solution for those .. preferably WiFi.
Do I buy into the OPās view of a single localised I/O for lots of loads - not really when homegrown, but it could work and Loxone promote this architecture in their system very successfully as do Crestron, Control4 and AMX to name a few big names. Most have a distributed RF based individual load fallback offering too though. DIY projects with XYZ controller boards are very prone to become a āsuckā solution as @JasonJoel says..

We can agree to disagree.
If you want centralized wiring but still have local switches wired it adds a tremendous amount of cost, space needed, and complexity for very little benefit.
That's my opinion. But each to their own.

Switches donāt need to be centrally wired - only lighting loads as āswitched liveā is always available there at the bulb. The majority of my switches are unaltered with just one run of cable to each light fixture with the switched live and āintercepted/automatedā live return.
In my case however as C-Bus uses a low voltage bus some switches do use low voltage and are wiring adapted. These are the ones I needed multi way instead of older single way or wanted LED indicators or LCD menus on. They need two wires (one pair) from a CAT5 cable or the original mains cable needed isolating and re-appropriating.
HE users are not going to choose this path instead opting for an inbuilt RF based integration, so yesā¦. Letās agree to disagreeā¦

Ah, got it. I've seen c-bus installs before in the UK but I guess I didn't understand how the wall buttons/switched worked in that system.
So maybe my comment was more "USA" focused, as I've never seen a c-bus system in the US. 
I don't mind standing corrected - There may be other systems that are good I haven't seen too?

I have an Aeotec NanoMote Quad and a couple of their Gen 7 smart plugs and they work fine. I was thinking of getting another NanoMote Quad and either 2 more of the Get 7 plugs for another room when I saw the Fibaro KeyFob Remote with 6 buttons. Is the Fibaro driver built in or is it a contributed driver written by a community member?
I would need 2 of the smart plugs unless someone can point me to a device with 2 smart plugs built into 1 device.
How happy are people with the Aeotec vs. the Fibrao? Are there plugs others recommend?

4 relays and 4 inputs per module.

That's a nice find! The four inputs make it really useful.

Just as an update, I now have 2 of the Fibaro 6 button Keyfobs for a few months now and Iām very happy with them.

And a bunch of options and cases available!

These kind of comments are very helpful for someone like me looking for a good keyfob. so Thanks!
BTW, besides the 6 buttons having a basic push they also recognize double tap, held and released (the later mostly if you use "held" to start dimming a light, then "released" to stop the dimming). So that gives you a world of options. While I use the minus sign to toggle a light on and off (via a basic Rule Machine rule: If on turn it off and vice versa) I use the minus sign held to turn off all the lights and my fan in the room I'm using it in. It also comes with a key chain attached (like, duh, since it is called a key fob, :->), but since I keep it on my desk I found that comes off very easily.
