UK ST light switch?

[Winger15mk (Gary)]

Hi! I’m quite new to the ST system so please excuse me on that! Firstly can I clarify where ST stands with Z-Wave devices? Am I right in thinking that if I bought any Z-Wave device that it would work with my smart things system? (I currently have the medium kit).

Secondly I would love to set up some automated lighting, I am aware of bulbs but don’t like that idea that you always have leave the wall switch on and if you wanted to turn a light on or off you would have to use the app etc, I am wondering if a piece of hardware exists which is a physical light switch I could change for my existing? So that I could remotely control that switch but also use it if I walk into the room like normal, that way I can keep my existing bulbs etc?

Hope that makes sense and thank you in advance for your help! Can’t wait to see the potential of this system!

It may be at the ceiling fitting, it may be somewhere else in the wall, but it is there. https://www.smartthings.com/uk/compatible-products [image] If you want to add a new faceplate to create a push button “momentary switch,” you can modify many switches to work with the in wall relay. Plastic button front plates are quite…
