+I made it with [two industrial joysticks](https://vikiwat.com/djoistik-ms-4p-4-pozicii-1no-nezadyrzhasht.html) bought from a local hardware shop. The signal is going to the electrical rack in my storage room. I'm using two smart relays - [Shelly Pro 4PM](https://shelly.cloud/knowledge-base/devices/shelly-pro-4pm/) made by a Bulgarian company. They are enough to control the lights in the whole apartment. I have used several impulse relays by Schneider in the past. They are with better quality but outsourcing the smart logic inside the relay makes the setup easier. Now I have only two FTP cables between the electrical rack and the network rack. They are mounted to the patch panel. Everything is controlled by Home Assistant which is installed on a Raspberry Pi 4 but this is not the topic. The joysticks are not smart. They are used instead of buttons.

+It's really comfortable to turn off the lamp without trying to find the switch :)

+And this is the network rack. They are patched directly on the sockets at right.
