100% this.
OP is saying how it was a chore for his girlfriend to turn on a light and thought of putting a switch above the switch but not replacing the switch. A logical reason is that they’re renting and can’t replace switches easily; I feel like that’s an important enough detail to include.
Unfortunately, Smart Bulbs only make sense in situations where the light isn’t controlled by a switch.
I recognize this is out of your budget ($50/ea) but the Lutron Casetas don’t click whatsoever.
