Inovelli Blue Dimmer and Fan Module - Pairing and Automation

I just installed an Inovelli Blue dimmer switch (VZM31-SN) and Inovelli Blue fan module (VZM36) in my bedroom. I paired them according to the instructions here. That works great. The issue is that I also want to control the light via automations from HA. That also works, but it means that the on/off state of the light is often out of sync with the on/off state of the switch.

What is the simplest and most idiomatic way to fix this? Is there a way to make the Zigbee binding two-way, so if I turn on the light through an automation the switch’s state will update to match? Or do I need to set up an explicit HA trigger to do the update, and if I do so do I risk creating a loop?

Bonus question: Assuming I can get that part figured out, is it possible to for the same switch action to trigger a bound light and a HA automation? That is, can I set it up so that clicking the switch on sends an “on” signal directly to the light AND a state change to HA so I can do something else, like turn on my coffee maker or whatever?

Did you ever have any luck figuring this out? I am running into the same issue. I am thinking of just writing an automation to handle this, but it feels like a clunky solution compared to how seamlessly the zigbee binding works one way.

I did not. It’s moved back up my priority list because I just installed another fan / module / switch combo in another room. Even if there is no easy solution I’m surprised it’s not more discussed as a problem; seems like it would come up a lot.
