alt Hacker NewsExactly! I prefer the small power plugs that lets me control fans and other power systems as relays. Family has a habit if switching of light bulbs using light switches and i have not gotten the change approval to disable the physical switches in the house :)

I can recommend Shelly for light switches over smart bulbs. It's a relay that fits inside the wall switch with zigbee to sit between the light and the switch.

I wouldn't recommend anyone to yank out physical controls for accessibility purposes.

It seems like quite the hassle to have to pull out one's phone every time one enters or leaves a room just to turn on lights?
Let's hope you don't have to get to the bathroom quickly late at night...

For me the best solution was to use smart switches (mainly dimmers) and dumb lightbulbs. People can use the switches like any other if they want, but I can still have my automations and remote control.
