Question

I recently replaced the light bulbs for all the lamps in bedrooms around the house. I used cheaper alternatives to Philips Hue - combination of Costco Feit and Amazon. I have Alexa routines set for the lights to turn on and off. I also have a SmartThings hub that I am in process of setting up. In addition to controlling these lights via Alexa, I am looking for some sort of a physical button or switch that I can mount on the wall and if my kids or wife(who refuses to talk to Alexa ) can use to turn the lights on or off by triggering an Alexa routine or SmartThings. Any suggestions?  

Answer 1

I think you should attempt to convince her to use Alexa. She's definitely being stubborn. My wife brags on it and knows only how to use it. She can barely use her smartphone.  

Answer 2

If you have the alexa with zigbee (plus version), a zigbee switch should do it
