Hi. I want to start with a smart home but I am starting small so I want to make sure....
I have installed led lights in the ceiling, but in order not to ruin the wall I have squeezed the power behind the curtains and taken power from the socket. As I'm trying to save energy, so far I've been using an ordinary zero-one switch in the socket to disconnect the power supply from the leds (the power supply squeaks when the leds are switched off).
To make things easier, I bought a smart socket, one that can be controlled from my phone using the smart life app. But sometimes I would like to have a physical switch for them. There are sockets with a remote control, but I haven't seen any on allegro that have a socket with remote control and control from the phone. There are so-called smart switches. But I don't know if any would actually work with my socket. This is why I am wise after the event and want to find out if it is better to buy a set.
I bought such a socket https://allegro.pl/oferta/inteligentne-gniazd...-tuya-watomierz-programator-timer-13308295700
And I wonder if this switch will work with this socket of mine since they both support tuya or smart life.

I read somewhere on the internet that a gateway is needed. And I'm here asking someone to help me figure it out, maybe I need to buy another socket or something, and I'm keen to have it controlled via WiFi or just manually with the switch.
