I need a Wi-Fi enabled button pusher preferably with plug-in capability and battery but battery is not required.

I've seen things like the switchbot, fingerbot, and tuya.

If anyone has a Google capable option that would be awesome

do you want to know how many lowercase letters do i need to use?

I've never seen one that plugs in, and they tend to be ZigBee for this reason: Wifi is power draining.

What's your use case? Perhaps there's an alternative.

I believe all those options will work.

They're only rechargeable and don't do power pass through. Battery is only good for x amount of time

Use zigbee or zwave. Don't use wifi with batteries.
