@brianlees i found your thread here Zwave switch that always supplies power for devices like Hue lights?
and also saw your response and solution here Wiring three and four way switches - any diagrams out there?.
@brianlees is there a way you can explain your setup with hue bulb and physical switch? it seems like you have done what i would like to do. Thank you.
Also @bradsileo i found that you were able to bypass the load for an always on zwave switch that u used with a smartapp to control hues. would you be able to describe your setup in more detail please. thank you.
