Sorry realise I never updated. It works exactly as I thought. My Hue bulbs are now unswitched, so I can always turn them on or off by voice or phone, and the fitting is now controlled by the switch but in a soft manner, so it is also permanently accessible by voice or phone. Thanks again...

Hi Eric. Totally understood, and thanks for all the help. Your first a diagram really helped me understand what the switch is doing. My old sonoff was just an extra inline switch, so was added between the connections to the light, whereas this samotech is effectively a soft switch and needs...

Makes sense, and thanks for all the help. The sonoff is the smart switch I'm replacing, so I've taken it out. I didn't mention the extra cable though. That runs to three standard fittings with Hue bulbs, so I will wire the live into live not switched live, so I can control them separately...
