## How to make Button or Switch not toggle a relay
By default `switch<x>` will actuate `relay<x>`. To ignore this default behavior, define a rule which triggers on the button/switch action.
## Button vs. Switch ## Button vs. Switch
A button (also called a push-button) is a momentary or non-latching switch which causes a temporary change in the state of an electrical circuit only while the switch is pressed. An automatic mechanism (i.e. a spring) returns the switch to its default position immediately afterwards, restoring the initial circuit condition.
