Smart switch to control light strip

I have a Zigbee smart bulb and light strip in my office both setup and using Home Assistant so they can be controlled via the app…etc…

I am thinking of adding a smart switch, I currently have a 1 gang, would it be possible to replace that with a 2 gang that can control the smart bulb and the light strip independently? I am new to Home Assistant so just want to check before I buy a potentially expensive light switch. As, if it is not possible I’ll just get a smart relay and keep the existing 1 gang (dumb switch) and put a button beside it to control the light strip.

Yes, you’d just to enable decouple mode on the switch. Then use the click actions from each gang as trigger in automation to control the smart bulb & strip separately
