The SmartenIT 3 toggle battery operated switch is my personal favorite. Works great as a wall mount or flat on a table:
This code stopped working with the 2018 version of the SmartThings app. The device should no longer be considered compatible.
Yes, Virginia, there is a battery operated toggle switch that looks like a regular switch and can be used to change modes, run Hello Home Actions, or toggle one or more devices on and off! It does have 3 toggle “buttons” instead of just 1, which some people will see as a negative, but it’s a very nice device. It can be mounted on the wall anywhere, it does not require any wiring. Or it can just lie flat on a table.
It’s zigbee, but because SmartThings supports both zigbee and zwave, that doesn’t matter, you can still use it to control any of the devices you control through SmartThings.
However, it’s not load bearing. But works great with smart bulbs.
SmartenIT Also makes both a single relay and dual relay which are on the official “works with smart things” list. The single can fit in a switch box. So that works well for wired control of lights.

GE does make a couple of zigbee wired switches, but I don’t know if anyone’s using them with SmartThings.
edited to add looks like @pstuart and @cmfraz started on a device type for the GE zigbee dimmer, but I don’t know if they ever finished it:
