Yes I was just typing as such, now it should work, white from light goes to neutrals, and black from light goes to red. Not sure how the relay even powered up if you had the hot feed connected to the red, the light would have also been always on with no way to turn it off. I suspect it was wired as I stated above, but now you have fixed it.

Thanks and sorry for cluttering the thread!
Interesting! Just ran across this topic.
I'm thinking of making up a table lamp rotary switch add on. Maybe some hot melt glue across the side of the bulb socket.
What do you all think?
I think I am confused, can you elaborate?
A true smart home should have controls that a stranger can turn a light on/off w/o using an automation, like an in wall light switch.
How does a person control a table lamp, using the same philosophy? How about strapping this relay across the lamps rotating switch?
Think it would work?
Not really "across" but after it (between switch and socket), wired up the same as you would with a light switch. Yes it should work. You would need to have a large hollow area in the lamp for the device and wiring though. If the rotary switch was up in the stem by the socket it may be a challenge to get the wiring back down then up to the socket again, but maybe not, I have never taken a lamp apart.

There should be no different between the wall switch and spst rotary lamp switch.
Correct, thats what I was saying. You do also have to wire a hot feed and neutral to the ZEN so its still a lot of connections to make if you have a tight space.
Since its feasible, I'll take a stab at it. Thks
