Is it possible to operate a button device from the device page or dashboard?

I've tried to do this with a Zooz Zen34 button device and there's no response. Is it just not possible? Is it the nature of the device? ???
This is a log:

My suspicion would be it depends on the driver and in your case it is likely the button events are only being produced when communications from the physical device are parsed.

I would suggest setting up a virtual button device and add the button presses for the VB to any automations where the Zooz one is mentioned, so that either can be used to initiate the rules. Then add the VB to a dashboard if that is ultimately what you want to use it for.

It should work. The error you provided above is a deficiency in the driver, namely, missing an implementation of the push() command. This not always required, and some older drivers may not have this or similar commands. Any built-in driver should now. The author or you would need to update the custom driver if not.

That did it. I replaced the Zooz Advanced driver I was using with the built in driver and it worked. Thanks.
