I have exactly same question, BUT I don’t want to replace a light switch with one that have different look and won’t fit in a frame anyway. And also don’t want to install a bypass on a light bulb.

I my opinion a better option is to install the relay near the bulb. And battery-powered light switch in the box under the original mechanical light switch. That can read a change in mechanical switch and sends a signal to the hub/relay.

Do I have any option? May be even a pcb option, if there’s ready firmware.
