Seems I have backed myself into a corner and do not fully understand how to get ou.
I have a Martin Jerry 3 way switch, flashed with tasmota. Works perfectly.
The wife wanted to add some wifi recessed lights. Bought on a Black Friday sale some WIZ lights.
I have installed them. They all work when the POWER IS TURNED ON.
Now my corner problem is that if I turn the switch off I lose the wifi connection.
I know that Innovelli makes a Red series switch where the relay is turned off but the lights still have power.
Is there a way to set something in tasmota, that will permentally keep the power on to the bulb and still allow the switch to be used.
Not sure how to do this with Tasmota, but I have a similar setup using the wiz lights and ESP Home. You can program the switch to send a light.turn_on command rather than toggle the internal relay and then program the internal relay to default on and add a switch in HA for the relay for good measure.
The one downside to this I haven’t quite solved is if your WiFi or HA go down, (or the light loses WiFi connectivity,) the light switch doesn’t work. I’ve had this happen a couple of times and WAF is low.
