I bought Shelly relays. These fit behind existing switches so you can keep the originals. They can tie into Home Assistant.
I've come across Shelly relays as well, they seem like a viable option to me. I'd probably prefer a separated network like Zigbee, but that should be doable. Thanks!
You can do this with Shelly Zwave relays.
That would generally preferable to ZigBee for such a system from an RF perspective.
Aeotec or Zooz usb dongle on your server, every Shelly acts as a signal relay.
You can get zigbee 3.0 relays on aliexpress. I got the GIRIER store ones, but while I've done a test with a bulb and a switch on a board, I haven't gotten them properly installed yet. Seems promising tho.
