@Jay tech addict Homekit Couple of things I would check. 1) make sure HomePod mini is working as expected in Home app. 2) Check for updated bulb firmware (looks like latest FW is 1.3.24 (2020-11-10)). If there is an update available let it update then wait 5min, if it still isn't switching to Thread try removing it from HomeKit and re-adding it. 3) Make sure at least one bulb is near the HomePod mini.

You probably won’t find many Wi-Fi buttons, since Wi-Fi, and good battery life don’t go well together, hence why a hub is usually required, since a Hub can use Zigbee for example to communicate with child devices, which will use less battery as a result.

Similar for Nanoleaf, they look to be releasing a whole lot of smart dimmer switches at CES in a few weeks that are part of their essentials line and look to be thread devices and those bulbs and LED Strips are amazing value. Hopefully the likes of Philips and Netatmo don't get left behind, you would imagine they should have some big announcements also for CES 2021.
