Hi,

Is there a possibility to buy a KAKU ( or something else ) where i can switch my light but if it is switched manually by a wall switch that it sends the status to domoticz. I cant find a clear answer.

I just use hue bulbs, and they update in domoticz if manually overridden.

I don't use zwave, but as mentioned above they should also do what you want.

I achieve something similar (though less robust) with my basic rf plugins.
I create a virtual switch in domoticz, and link a wireless switch to this. ( push buttons, not an actual switch)
Then control the actual switch though the on action / off action - on the virtual switch.
Then just make sure to only use the virtual switch for controlling the light. This way wether you switch from domoticz / HomeKit / app / or wireless switch - the status in domoticz "should" always be right.
running domoticz 3.4834 on rpi2, with
Hue bridge / bulbs.
lightwave rf sockets, mood controlers, sensors & contacts.
Home bridge / Siri.
Ha bridge / echo Alexa.
Hard wired alarm system - setting home / away status.

Next: harmony hub.

Which wallswitch? Kaku wallswitches are senders, so these are switches in domoticz.

A regular wallswitch is not capable of switching a kaku-switch by itself.
