I am planning to upgrade  all  my home conventional  Switches to Smart Switches . The goal is to connect all these switches at the initial stages to Tuya , Alexa  Platform and later connecting it to Home Assistant. Zigbee interface Switch  was chosen primarily, because  ZigBee is a universal Smart Home protocol which suit my plans to  take my current smart Home system Off the Cloud in future .
