I would love a switch I could just stick onto the wall so I can turn the Wyze Bulbs in my lamp on and off from across the room. But the only switch currently on offer is required to be wired. My lamp is my only light source in my living room and I don’t have an outlet wired to a switch. So my only options are walking across the room in the dark or using the app.
There are a few Wishlist topics that you could support for this.

Until Wyze comes out with a wireless light switch, what about a ThinkBee?

You could add an inexpensive Alexa Dot or Google Home device and turn the bulb off/on by voice command.

I like @R.Good’s idea, too. While I have been using Google Home Minis for years and am partial to those, I also picked up a couple of Amazon Echo devices last year and have had fun playing with those. Just recently they had the 5th Gen Echo Dot bundled with a color Wi-Fi smart bulb and on sale (again), and I was tempted to get another. I imagine that or something like it might happen again with Black Friday, and if you’re interested in something like that then you could use a service like camelcamelcamel to view price history and set up price watches to be notified when something hits your target price.
One thing that’s great about using smart speakers with voice assistants is that you can talk to it from across the room and have it control lights (and other things) without the need to be near a physical switch. You can even say things like, “Hey, Google, turn off the lights in one minute.” Then just walk away.
This is another good case for Wyze to continue to produce and improve the Watch, I think. I use the Shortcuts app on my Watch 47 much more than I expected to, and I have several in the list dedicated to running Shortcut Automations for controlling lights.

I really wanted a wall switch until I could not get it and now I am happier with smart speakers.
We use smart speakers like @Crease. We have Alexa, Google and Apple speakers. My preference is Alexa.
Many of them now include very good presence sensors which can automagically turn the lights on/off if that is of interest.
As well, by naming the room and placing the items in the named Alexa room, you can just say turn on/off light without naming the room. This works in each of the rooms when in the room.
i have table lights grouped with ceiling light and can action them all or just table lights or just ceiling light. in one room, I have 2 ceiling lights. I named one with the room and the other as computer room inside same room, so I in effect now have separate light switch for each of 2 ceiling lights which are on the same light switched (taped on).
I also use Wyze motion sensors for automagically on/off and can even add time of day.
i also got a wall mounted remote switch (expensive) and seldom use it.
As @Crease mentions, I expect to see some good deals with Black Friday coming up.
We also use Alexa for scheduling Christmas lights with Wyze and other automated plugs both inside and outside.
Even my smart Sonos speakers can be used to turn on/off lights, etc.
That’s a good point. My experience so far with a presence-sensing routine on the Echo Dot 5 is hit-or-miss. It’s cool when it works as expected, and sometimes the lights come on when I don’t expect them to. I probably need to play with that some more.
I use switch guards. I still reach for physical switches out of habit sometimes, and that keeps me from turning things off that I want to be “on” (even if the light is off but needs power for the Wi-Fi radio to stay connected for control). If I need to power cycle bulbs, I can reach in through the side and do that. They’re also handy for lights that are on 3-way circuits (one toggle switch at each end).
Switch guards are great.
Luckily all of my controlled appliances don’t use wall switches. Google Home is nice for lights. I now have a mix of 2 Wyze v2 bulbs and Kasa color bulbs. Now I have to specify if I want my theater lights on (Kasa) or my two room lights on.
My bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen and garage are old-school paddle switches. The solar lights help, out front and out back.
My quick and dirty solution to keeping fingers off light switches that are supposed to be on all the time.
Excuse the 40 year old paneling.
And I just realized, like my life, it is missing a screw.

I used paneling like this around 1975 to construct a photography darkroom in my parent’s basement. I had not thought about my younger photography days or my darkroom in years. Thanks for sharing your picture.

I can always use an extra screw. I have a 20-year drawer of parts I have left over after re-assembly of a repair.
Great idea, BTW.
Yeah, I like 'em for switches that I want to be on always and also for things like the gas fireplace switch that’s low enough for a pet to flip.
I’ve seen commercially-available switch guards of a similar design. Years ago I fashioned my own out of a strip of clear plastic (leftover from some product package) that I cut with an opening for the toggle and then attached to the wall plate with both screws. It would keep the toggle in the desired position and could be reversed, but you had to unscrew one end if you wanted to flip the switch, so it wasn’t ideal for all use cases. It functioned as intended at the time, though.
