How to control a wired light switch with M5 Atom
-
Is there a sensor in the M5 set that lets one control the on/off of a powered wire (like a light switch)? I have the M5PowerSocket and it works nicely (MQTT and BLE), but how could a house with a lot of light (or other switches) be hooked up to many M5 controllers (like Atom)?
I assume the power to the switch could power the M5 and then a sensor could control the wire and it's power.
thanks.

better to check "shelly" products where you can control them from one M5 controller via mqtt, shelly modules are small, they fit inside wall switch or wall socket, they are powered by mains AC and they sit on your wi-fi

Wow I hadn't seen
Shelly
before. They too have WiFi and BLE. It seems it wouldn't need M5 - but if M5 could bridge to them it would put control back to my existing ecosystem.Has anyone here done similar connectivity?
Thanks

The
r-relay-unit
looks promising. But how do I get power to the controller (M5 Atom, etc)?thanks,
