1. Lever
It can bee connected to the circiut network. In the GUI you can set output signal. When lever has been switched the signal is 1.
Lever is off --> signal is 0
Lever is on --> signal is 1

2. Button
It can bee connected to the circiut network. In the GUI you can set output signal. When button has been pressed signla is 1 for 2 seconds.
Button is not pressed --> signal is 0
Button is pressed --> signal is 1 for 2 seconds

Research
Unlock when you complete research "Circuit Network".

Please add this to the game. It was very usefull for circuit network.

This can already be done with a constant combinator. The constant combinator can be activated and deactivated in the GUI, i.e. it behaves like a lever.

This problem is identical to the lever problem above, except that you will also need to add a decider combinator and a clock that increments by 1 every tick. Since there are 60 ticks per second, 2 seconds corresponds to 120 ticks. The decider combinator can be set to ensure that the signal 1 is only sent while the clock counter is below 120.

I would love something like this that does not require opening a GUI. I.e., I just hover the mouse over it and press a shortcut to activate/deactivate.

A hotkey to enable/disable Constant Combinators and Power Switches might be tidier.
