Latching Button
A push-on, push-off switch with its pull-down and a red indicator LED already fitted: one press turns SIGNAL HIGH and it stays HIGH, through a reset or a power cut, until the next press.

Reed Switch
A glass reed switch on a TinkerBlock board: two blades that a magnet pulls shut, from either pole, with no power needed to sense. It sits between VCC and SIGNAL with a 10 kΩ pull-down, so a magnet reads HIGH, and a red LED lights while it is closed. It draws nothing while open, and VCC must be your board's logic voltage.
