Device to push a button in our office.
As a modern office person, I want the ability to push a button remotely, so that I do not need to get out of my seat, or need to get my wallet out.
Servo mounted to bluetooth MCU. Gets triggered by either detecting a... (TBD)
- Physical button (at least)
- New bluetooth device via mobile phone?
- Web Bluetooth + a Progressive Web App?
We should consider using a mechanism (MOSFET N-Channel might work) to try and cut power to the servo after it has been restored to 'normal' position.

We have a couple options on bluetooth + MCU boards.
I believe to be replaced by the Xenon?

- Do not block the button (i.e. so cannot use a solenoid)
- Low battery usage (1+ month?)
