I want to use a fibaro double switch 2 behind a mechanical switch in my kitchen that is now used to switch a power outlet in my garden. I have no need to switch this power outlet, so i want to provide constant current to it by bypassing the mechnical switch. That leaves my mechanical switch unused, but i now want to use this to switch a hue lightstrip in the kitchen that is powered from somewhere else. So: can i do this with a fibaro double switch 2? Can i make a flow with a double switch 2, without it having a direct load attacted to it? Will it switch in homey? ---
