Finding a suitable 12V smart switch proved to be an overwhelming task. A WIFI version was eventually discovered that could be configured to work seamlessly with Home Assistant, requiring the construction of a custom housing to enclose it and enable it to function as a conventional switch while also being controlled by a smart controller. Despite its primary reliance on cloud-based control, this device can be reconfigured to operate solely within the local network if the router is equipped with parental controls that block web access for specific devices. This involved some effort, but the long-term benefits of having a 12V powered smart switch made it well worth the trouble. The specified switch design is based on the https://amzn.to/2R79bRc ST-DC1 model, which is controlled by the EweLink phone app. To operate this device, both a 12V and ground supply are required. A router with installed WIFI connectivity in an RV environment is also necessary for initial setup of the switch, although internet access is not needed after the initial setup process. The V2 Base housing can accommodate both the aforementioned switch as well as the alternative model listed at https://amzn.to/30CHrqz. In contrast, the V3 Cover features an integrated button that serves as a single component and must be used in conjunction with the switch specified on line 5.
