I'm hoping someone has been able to solve a problem I've been wrestling with. I'd like to be able to turn a lamp with an LED dimmable bulb on/off locally at the lamp (High WAF) and also be able to control it (on/off/dim) with HomeSeer. Has anyone come up up with a solution? Ideally, someone would manufacture a Z-Wave Turn Knob Lamp Bulb Socket or screw-in socket with switch that supports LED, but I don't think it exists. I've considered a number of ideas, but I don't really like any of them. Ideas are 1) Z-Wave plugin Lamp module. Won't work because the lamp is plugged in to a recessed floor box, so I'd have to leave it on the table, plug the lamp into it and run and extension cord to the floor outlet; 2) Z-Wave remote. This could work, but it would add clutter on the tabletop and be another remote to misplace; 3) "hacked" Amazon Dash, but I've found them too unreliable; 4) Z-Wave Micro Switch. Modification of the lamp socket by using a Z-Wave Micro Switch between the lamp socket switch and the lamp socket, but I don't really want to modify the lamp. Additionally, I'm sure the Z-Wave Micro Switch aren't intended to be put inside a lamp body.
