So I have smart switches AND smart bulbs, because I like to change the colour temperature and colours at times. The smart switches are then configured to always power on the light bulb, and pressing the switch just toggles the state of the smart light bulb. This works really well but it means that if the WiFi or Home Assistant goes down then it stops working. What would be great is if there was some way for the light switch to directly communicate with the light bulb even if they're not connected to a WiFi AP. There is ESP-Now which seems to be a peer to peer communication protocol on the ESP side of things, but it would be great if something existed that could do this across Zigbee and WiFi devices. Perhaps this is something that Matter and/or Thread will help with?
