I have physical switches, I just don’t use them. They are my fallback for when the network fails, the hue hub dies or whatever.

- OJFord 6y agoWhat I mean is I think I prefer them even if I were technically set up to use my phone or a remote - they'd never be in the right place so I'd have to get up anyway. (And in this case the (dumb) switches on the wall have always been in the right place, by the bed, in my bedrooms. (In addition to one by the door of course.)) I'd just have 'the system' 'aware' of the switches and current state etc. so that I could have certain automations, logging, etc. The physical switches would either be network inputs themselves (easier implementation but reliability concern) or just report events but be electrically connected to the light still; I suppose also light-side state reporting for ultimate reliability (against missed switch events that did change light state because of electrical connection).
