Anyone know of any that have a controlller. If the light switch talks some exotic radio protocol to the controller I can then write an API for the controller and thus control Philips hue or the new ones lights.

I am an architect and trying to get a solution so I can use those light switches that are literally stuck on the wall and use kinetic energy to make a radio call when you press them..all the ones I have found are hardware wired to talk to a controller that has no open API :(

Most likely they would use 433 or 800mhz right? Plenty of arduino solutions around for those.

Could use this project or HomeAssistant with that.
