I installed a Philips Hue RGB light strip in my home (this model). It plugs into a regular wall outlet and I turn it on and off using the Google Home app on my phone.
I would like to have a physical switch in the room which could also toggle the light strip. However I don't want the switch to interfere with Google Home's ability to toggle the lights. In other words, Google Home should be able to turn the lights on even if the switch is off. Is this achievable?

Phillips (and others) makes switches for the Hue screw-in light bulbs, which I believe also work with light strips. See the Phillips website.
I've found it is undesirable to use a physical switch that disconnects power to the Hue light, as the light will revert to default settings when power is restored.
