Use your favourite low current but mains controlling thing and add a contactor, eg https://www.screwfix.com/p/british-general-fortress-20a-dp-contactor-no/6654P

Does anyone know of a wired switch, ideally zigbee but open to WiFi if it offers local control, that can handle a relatively high load (10a)?
As I mentioned previously I’m going down the road of building a diy zoned central heating system in HA, using a pretty basic oil fired central heating system (oil burner operated by an apt wall timer, no zones, no thermostats, either all on or all off).
So far I have gotten a zigbee sonoff temperature sensor for each room added and currently recording temperature and humidity, but now need a switch to replace the old apt timer.
My initial thought was to use a Shelly 1pm, which is perfect only I want to retain a physical switch with an indicator light to show when it’s on, and this becomes very slightly more complicated. There are of course plenty of zigbee light switches that would be perfect, only I don’t think they’d handle the starting load of the burner when it fires up.
Anything I am missing?
