Why is this using a plug rather than a Zigbee button? I don't understand the plug bit.

I just had the plug laying around, and since it has a button, it does the job.

But it actually has an advantage: I can plug a small lamp into it. After 14 minutes, the plug switches on and off every 2 seconds, indicating that the time runs out, adding a little drama.
