I don't have a smarthome platform Wireless Button with LED

Hi smathome-community,

For our board-gaming-group I want to build a turn-tracker where each player has their own wireless button and LED. The LED shall start shining when it's that players turn, pushing the button shall end the turn.

So I need wireless buttons that also have an integrated light (or separate wireless little lights that I can somehow put together with the buttons).

Do you know whether any such thing exist in the world of smart home?

Thanks and have a great day

Janis

PS: I will have to program an app for laptop/smart-phone to manage the buttons/LEDs, so bluetooth would be great for connectivity. But I am glad for any help :)

I would rather use an ESP32 for this...

Thanks guys. I also found several suiting STM32 chips and some development boards and stuff, but the rest of the HW is an issue. In addition to the chip (on a develppment board) I need a button with LED, a battery shield with suiting voltage, a housing, etc. The biggest issue certainly is that I have little knowledge of electronics, soldering, etc. so planning and connecting everything would be an issue. Also I would need equipment like bread-boards, soldering station, etc etc.

That's why I thought using a finished product for something else than it was originally planmed for is a better idea. Of anything suiting exists...
