I really love all this info. I’ve been very keen to find a way to make my kitchen light accessible both manually via the wall switch and also via HA automations.
However, has anyone had any experience or luck with the idea of having a wifi bulb and doing something similar. In the sense that it could be triggered off by a wall switch and controlled in HA as well. I would assume the wall switch would be completely detached from the wiring for the actual light socket and simply be a trigger to tell HA to turn it off and on.
That way scenes and dimming of the light could be used as well as turning it off and on.
Of course the desire to do this is based on the better half stating there is no way the kitchen light can only be turned on via an app or even controlled by a motion sensor.
