I recently, maybe foolishly, replaced our apartment lights with some Matter bulbs. They’re mostly great, but yesterday the SO needed to turn on a light and it was such a chore for her. It’s had me thinking how I can make it work without voice. I’m guessing I’ll need a whole new setup, which sucks. I considered making a fancy Siri Shortcut to help her control things from her phone. Maybe a smart button on top of the switches? I’m a bit confused, if I’m being honest.

Any ideas on this are appreciated!

    Agreed. Once I added Shelly’s behind my switches my partner caught on because they could use the physical switch or the app. The app gets used when convenient but if walking by, they’ll pop the physical switch.
