<![CDATA[How to control a wired light switch with M5 Atom]]>Is there a sensor in the M5 set that lets one control the on/off of a powered wire (like a light switch)? I have the M5PowerSocket and it works nicely (MQTT and BLE), but how could a house with a lot of light (or other switches) be hooked up to many M5 controllers (like Atom)?

I assume the power to the switch could power the M5 and then a sensor could control the wire and it's power.

thanks.

But how do I get power to the controller (M5 Atom, etc)?

thanks,

They too have WiFi and BLE. It seems it wouldn't need M5 - but if M5 could bridge to them it would put control back to my existing ecosystem.

Has anyone here done similar connectivity?

Thanks
