I would like to control a bedside table lamp from a wall switch and locally.
I was hoping to find an in-line switch, but struck out (in the US).
The Shelly button looked like a possible, but I don’t think they are sold anymore.
Any recommendations?
I suppose the alternate is to have a remote control sitting on the bedside table - wallmote, minimote, others? (I could ‘smart-tape’ the button to the base of the lamp )
Can you fit a Shelly 1 in the wall box? If you can, wire that up and replace the switch with a 2-way switch (no explicit on/off indicator). Then get a Shelly Button 1. You can pass the button events through HA, but you can actually also configure the button to call a webhook on the Shelly 1.
They can always just get a zigbee or thread based bulb for the lamp and control that via the shelly button 1 without the need for a relay setup.
i.e I have hue bulbs in my left and right side bedside lamps and my lounge room corner lamp at the moment tied to a aotec motion sensor and I also control them via my stream deck when I am the pc.
What you describe is what I have myself, but I suggested what I did, because it looked to me like they had an existing physical switch they wanted to retain:
One of the switches controls the main room light and the other two are used to operate other devices e.g. bedside lamps via Zigbee. The config is listed below in case you are interested, note that the automation does not need to include the main light as this is connected to L1 on the Zigbee module:
