Yes, the bulbs are connected to my wifi router. Commands from alexa or my smartphone go to the cloud which then sends the commands back to my router and on to my bulbs.
The brand of the bulbs doesn't matter (some weird chinese name). All wifi bulbs...
Thanks for the response. By coincidence I just ordered that switch a few hours ago. But I'm asking here for the opposite. I don't want something controlled by wifi but something that transmits wifi to control my light bulbs.
I have six ceiling lights in my tv room that we control with an amazon echo (alexa). I hard-wired the wall switches so the bulbs always have power. Alexa wouldn't work very well if the bulbs had no power.
But many people try to use the wall switches to control the lights. I need new wall...
