Simulating a Button Press

im new to raspberry pi and electronics. i have a heater that has a button to toggle on/off. i dont know what the type of button is called. it doesnt stay pressed down. just a simple button like on a keyboard or mouse. i want to simulate that button press with the raspberry pi does anyone have any idea of how to go about this?

You could use a relay module!

i am a complete beginner. i dont know how to connect it up

In the FAQ section there is a "Getting started"

i am unsure how to set up the wire things to connect it to the heater's buttons

it is quite specific

That could be so, but to learn you need to start from the beginning.

And the guides and beginners books is quite specific as well!
