As we all know, using a smart light switch with smart bulbs causes problems when the user turns the switch off, killing power to the smart bulbs.
I wanted to ask if there is an affordable solution to doing so without having to go with expensive decoupling smart light switches. I was thinking of hard wiring the smart light switch and smart bulbs, both will always have power. Can then toggle the smart switch to send a command to Alexa to tuen the lights on/off. I am daily confident Alexa will know the state of the bulbs, but cannot confirm. Don’t know if that will help. MTIA.

I have this switch coupled with Sengled Smart Bulbs. If manually pressed the switch does cut power to the bulbs, but when I manually turn it on or ask Alexa to turn it on, the bulbs come on and I can control brightness, color, and temp via voice, app, or routine.
