Sylvania BR30 Bulbs unavailable--wiring GE Switch to bypass load?

i said screw it… put in the old regular switches (not smart) and miraculously NO issues at all with those lights. Apparently those sylvania bulbs hate smart switches

Sylvania makes a battery powered smart switch cover you can put on the wall right over the existing switch. You leave the existing switch on power and you can use the buttons on smart switch to turn the group of lights on and off without actually cutting power to them. So no wiring, it’s very simple, it works well. So it’s worth considering.

A recent discussion with more pictures in the following thread:

Just a Button? 1 button, nothing more fancy?

I am looking for a button that can stick to the wall, and I’m stuck . Scenario: Our guest bedroom has 3 lamps equipped with Cree Connected light bulbs. The room has no overhead light fixture and no light switch (old house, fixer upper), nor was it ever wired for a light switch (so nothing to go off of). Therefore, I want someone to be able to walk into the room and tap a button to turn on the 3 lamps. That’s the only functionality I’m looking for – a button that I can then program that when pressed, the connected lamps turn on/off. I’m stumped on finding something! Any recommendations on a simple SmartThings compatible button I can mount on the wall?
