I’ve come across Shelly relays as well, they seem like a viable option to me. I’d probably prefer a separated network like Zigbee, but that should be doable. Thanks!
I'm looking for a smart home solution use two switches in my living room (EU), in order to make them just smart enough so I can control some devices. The setup isn't very complex in itself, and I'm pretty sure it's doable - I'm just unsure what I'd need in order to use these switches in a 'smart' capacity...
This is what I had in mind:
* On-off switch, connected to a single light with three Hue filament bulbs. I'd like this one to always be powered, as to make them always controllable
* On-off switch, which should be connected to a light which isn't in use at all. Once this one is 'smart', I could control all other smart devices in the living room like a 'turn off everything'-button.
I have a Hue bridge and a Home Assistant instance running in my home.
With regards to wife-approval-factor, I'd rather leave the original switches in place, but I'm open to suggestions. I hope one of you can steer me in the right direction.
*Edit*: if this isn't the right community for the question, I'd understand, but I wasn't sure where to put it otherwise... I'd be open to suggestions to that too.
The irony in this? They have just announced this very subscription plan in Germany.
Not even a week after axing the plan in some neighbouring countries.
