Inputs can be set up as button (so, open/close circuit are an input event) or switch (so, open/close circuit are an input state)
Of course it won't physically change the switch position, but the switch works both ways because you can turn it into a toggle, whatever the current position is.
Exactly. If we can have (or at least used to be able to) physical sliders that work as both inputs and outputs, then why no wall switches? I want my wall switches be in sync with the state of smart devices - like, if I turn off a smart light remotely via an app, I want the corresponding wall switch to physically flip.
Separate command from power!
Like this? (command + relay(s), inside switch box)

or this? (command only, inside switch box, either use a separate smart relay or send on/off commands straight to an always-powered smart bulb)

or this? (4 command + 4 relays, for breaker box)
