Smart switch to control smart bulb

Hardware
1

Hi all,

I have a tp link kasa bulb installed but between myself and my wife we keep hitting the light switch to turn it on which defeats the object. I am looking for a switch that will keep constant power to the bulb but will turn the bulb on and off via home assistant.

Im not sure if this is a thing or not but I’m hoping someone can help. Should mention I am in the UK.

Thnk you in advance

You can use a shelly relay behind the light switch in “detached mode”, so the relay stays on all the time but the switch activates an action in HA, and thus is able to control the bulb by automation
