@Randym1988,

Could you provide a bit more information about what you are looking for in terms of being decoupled?

Are you thinking about separating of the physical power controls from the function of the paddles/switch. If so, I can definitely pass the feedback along, however, I could foresee problems with the fact that this would potentially mean you couldn't disable the power to a fixture.

If you have a specific use case or example, I can also pass this along with the feedback - however, Home Assistant is not an officially supported platform, but I can still see a use for this within the Kasa ecosystem.

As for local control, I would highly recommend looking at our Matter-Compatible switches, as these can be configured directly in other platforms such as Home Assistant, SmartThings, Apple Home, and Google Home.
