Philips Hue, and Zigbee direct-binding in general, can achieve this if you're willing to use their wall switches. Still works if the hub is offline.

Depends on your definition of "regular switches," I suppose -- but anyone with 3-way wiring (i.e. multiple light switches for a single socket) has given up on "up=on" for their switch.

Oh, two more things on my list that rule out the Hue switches:

* No battery powered devices in walls,

* Lights don't come on automatically following power cut.

If the Shelly relays supported ZigBee direct bind then it would be even better, but with decent ZigBee devices it's not bad with my setup.
