Are you sure your cree bulbs were connected to a pico remote? It’s far more likely that they were connected to the “Lutron connected bulb remote” (LCBR) a now discontinued device that looks something like a pico, but actually operates on an entirely different frequency. It would not work with a Lutron bridge, for example.
In any case, there are several devices that would meet your criteria, and then the wall mount switch communicates to the hub and the hub communicates to the Cree bulbs. So that part is easy.
As far as one that looks like a rocker switch, there are only a couple of those. See the following thread (this is a clickable link)
Thank you for your super quick response! You are correct, it is the Connected bulb remote. I didnt realize they were different until you mentioned it.
I read through the thread you linked, the Cooper Aspire remotes look like they only control other aspire switches, can they be used independently? Same thing with the iDevice remotes.
I did see the solution some were using to get the remote to pair, and using Pollster to report the state. I am going to try this out, as I still cant find any remotes that do exactly what I need.
The Cooper is a standard Z wave switch, it can talk to the smartthings hub, and then the smart things hub could talk to any other device on your SmartThings account. So it’s popular for this use.
Another option would be to buy a Phillips Hue bridge. You could connect your Cree bulbs to that bridge which would allow you to still use your connected bulb remotes. Then you would connect your Hue bridge to Smartthings to have control both ways.
