Cheers. This is for loads of LED downlights so I just want to replace some switches.
Aurora looks the same as a lot of others I'm finding in that the switch is actually replaced by a smart module and then the physical switch can go anywhere.
As I'm replacing existing switches I was just looking to swap the switch out for something that had both a physical switch and a smart switch integrated but it doesn't seem to be much of a thing.

For some reason this is a really tricky thing it seems, there was a startup who was doing them called Getden, but they seemed to have gone bankrupt or something.
There are quinetic switches, which do a lot of what you want, but they are pretty ugly looking, and are mainly for new installs where you don't want to chase walls, but do have wireless integration as well as proper switches.
We are using smart bulbs where it’s just a single bulb as it’s much cheaper for a bulb than a switch, but for downlights we are using Aurora aone in-line smart switches. This means every light in the house can be operated by either a normal physical switch or by SmartThings and also Google home as we connected those two.
