I’d like to install a z-wave wall switch (neo coolcam 2CH EU) and use it to switch hue lights. How should i fix the wiring? can I bypass the switch in order to provide Hue-bulb with constant power? ---

Sorry for the question, why you would to use this Setup? Maybe it is Overkill to have a Z-wave switch and Hue Lights together. ---

By setting the Hue lights to ‘return to previous state’ (which is semi new) it means that you can continue to use your wall switches as well as use Homey + Flows to control your light. In addition to that - you can also change the colours/tempreature of the globes. Well thats what I use it for … Just don’t use them with a zwave dimmer.
