Google home physical light switch

[Slagbot]

Dear LTT Community, 

For about a year now I have my Google home controlling my smart light in my room. And I was searching for a way, that if you push the physical light switch connected to the wall to just turn off and on the light instead of cutting the power like you would with a normal Bulb. Because every morning or evening when my siblings or parents come into my room they turn off the light because they hit the physical switch next to the door but the light was turned off with Google home commands. So they hit the switch again and that turns on the light. So sometimes the light starts the connect to wifi process again by blinking in a 2 second pattern. And I have to reconnect it to our wifi and set up a new command for the lights. So I was just wondering if there was a physical switch that could replace my built in the wall one that just sends a command to my light bulb to turn it on that way. 

Thanks for taking your time to read this. And I hope someone can help me figure this out.

If you use philips hue for your smartlights then there is the philips hue switch.

 

If you use any other smartlight systems, then try to look for their switch, if they have one.

I think sonoff makes wall switches specifically made for this.
