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!

    That’s a great topic!

    For family members unfamiliar with smart products, traditional switch control remains the most intuitive and straightforward method. However, the convenience brought by smart lighting systems, including multi-light control, scene setting, and dual control, not only greatly enhances lighting convenience but also meets the needs of modern households.

    It’s important to note that relying too heavily on cloud services or gateways for smart lighting control can lead to delays or other malfunctions, causing inconvenience.

    To address this, we have developed a smart lighting system that supports the Matter protocol while utilizing the standard Zigbee 3.0 “binding&group” control features for gateway-free control. This system is set to launch on Amazon soon. If you’re interested, you can search “Xsky” in Amazon, I am more than happy to share further details and look forward to discussing it with everyone.

    Here is the link of starter kit, and the switch kit will coming soon:
