Low tech - I love it! Thank you!

I could use some help with an idea I have.

I hate going to the basement at night because the light switch is at the bottom of the stairs.

I had an idea to swap the light switch for a smart switch and figured there'd be smart switch kits that offer a remote buttons you can stick on the wall so you don't have to have an electrician come wire three-way switchs.

I did find something like that, but they only come with 1 remote and they're surprisingly expensive. I'd like to have two remotes but can't even figure out if you can buy additional remotes.

Alternatively I've heard of Zigbee "scene" buttons that maybe I could use as a remote to toggle a regular smart switch, but I've never used Zigbee so I'm not entirely sure if that's something a scene button can do.

If you want to know why I don't just hire an electrician - I rent this house so while my landlord lets me modify things I don't want to make any changes I can't reverse if he asks me to.

I read something the other day - "they've beaten us down so much we can't even get a living wage, much less a thriving wage."
