    GE sells LED bulbs that come with a remote, nothing smart about them, I can dim them or turn them off entirely with the remote that lives on my bedside table.

      If you get a Zigbee smart switch (or smart bulb) and a Zigbee remote, you can pair the switch/bulb and remote directly so it works like you said, while still retaining the ability to control the light using Home Assistant (eg automatically turn it on or off based on something).

        I have a Zigbee controller coming at some point this week, so I can set up a bunch of Zigbee sensors and products that a friend of mine no longer needs. Proper looking forward to seeing what I can do with it all in Home Assistant.
