Does anyone know of a simple, battery powered state switch device for either Matter, Homekit or Zigbee? It should NOT be a wallsocket and specifically needs to keep a permanent on/off state.

My current plan is to be able to set an "On Vacation" state and base my automations around that but other usecases are possible as well.

I used to have this using a virtual switch in Homebridge that ran on a Raspi but this thing was too maintenance heavy and I would prefer a less hacky solution.

It'd be hard to find an actual product because your use case is rather niche and all of those platforms have and expensive certification process. You can DIY a matter solution the easiest, though, there's plenty of devkits for standalone matter devices.
