I have a couple of ZBMINIL2’s wired up with regular on/off wall switches. I’m wondering if there’s a way to read the on/off status of the physical switch.
Mostly everything is working - when I flip the physical switch, the light toggles. I’m also able to turn the light on/off from Home Assistant. The problem is that the physical switch has ON/OFF positions, and if I toggle the light from Home Assistant then the physical switch gets out of sync with the output. It acts like a three-way switch though the physical switch has an ON/OFF label. I want to avoid this because it’s confusing to the regular people in my home.
So, desired behavior is: when I flip the physical switch, the light may change to match the switch status.
Light OFF, switch turned ON → Light turns ON
Light OFF, switch turned OFF → nothing happens (light stays off)
Light ON, switch turned ON → nothing happens (light stays on)
Light ON, switch turned OFF → Light turns OFF
Is there a way to do this? I’m able to make it happen with the Shelly Plus 2PM but I can’t figure out how to involve the “real” external switch status with the ZBMINIL2. I noticed that ZHA exposes a switch_actions cluster but I can’t find any documentation on what it may do or how to use it.
