Lights: relay with normal wired switch

Hardware
1

Hi all
I’m looking into starting with HA and smart lighting.
I really would like to keep my traditional switches.
I was looking for solutions that allow me to control using my standard wired switches; and also through home assistant.
I haven’t been able to find anything; i found one topic on this forum about a complex setup that allows this.
On Amazon there’s a device that says it can do exactly what I’m looking for; but it’s unclear to me if it’s going to be compatible with HA.

Can someone confirm this?

just use a shelly1 this will do exactly what you want and integrates perfectly and easily, available on Amazon but cheaper if you order direct from Shelly

I wired my house with Shellies so I can recommend them too. Shelly1 or 1PM or 2.5 (for double switches), dimmers or rgbw2 modules.
Very reliable with mqtt built-in.

Those are the smaller ones on the market. Should fit behind wall-switches
