All I want to know is why the heck I can't un-press a button I pressed by accident. This should be very simple. Press once to turn the button on, press again to turn it off.
Or I guess you could do long-press to turn off or something if you're worried about confusing people, but I really don't think that should be necessary. We know how toggles work. The button lights up when it's on.
> people will un-press your floor and chaos will follow
I can see some engineers deciding that the button press needs 2FA or TOTP so only you can unpress it. Bonus points if you need to buy their brand's smartwatch to use it.

It works fine, but people's reaction on hearing this is always interesting, ranging from:
- enthusiasm: that's awesome everyone should do that
- skepticism: that seems like a terrible idea, people will un-press your floor and chaos will follow
- denial: you didn't see that
- cultural / racist: that would never work in <name your country> it must just be because Koreans are <random cultural conjecture>
