## 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.

A switch (more precisely a latching switch), when activated by the user, remains in that state until activated again.

Both have a similar function but Tasmota distinguishes between a "Button" and a "Switch" in other ways.
