In my dreams, I have a wall plate (like a light switch) with between four and eight buttons.  Each button will trigger my microcontroler to perform a different action (specifically, send predetermined html codes to my Philips Hue lights).  I'm confident of being able to handle the programming, but my threshold question is where in the heck can I find physical buttons to mount on a wallplate?  Or, alternatively, is there something like this (http://tinyurl.com/beaj9ee) that is easier to hack?

Thanks in advance!

Any panel mount style button could be mounted to a wall-plate. The question is whether you want it to look pretty or not. If so, I would recommend hacking an existing "pretty" wall plate.
