What to do with wall switch after light automation?

Hi. I’m am a total automation beginner.
I was planning to use home assistant to automate some GU10 lights in a corridor and I already have a general idea how to do that from reading this and other forums.

I am planning to use some zigbee compatible GU10 lights and a motion detector. The big doubt I have is… what do I do with the old wall switch? We’ve been using it for years and I know we will keep using out of custom… and if we accidentally use the wall switch the lights will stop working.

Any ideas?

Well, if you’re sticking with the same wall switch, you can install shelly relays, set to detached mode so the gu10 bulbs stays online even when the switch is toggled.
