#Turn ZBMiniL2 into Detach Mode

Hi guys,
Currently adding smart light modules in my whole house.
I'm in France, the ceiling wire has neutral available, no permanent live and a switched live. I added ZBMiniR2s to the lamps.

I want to add ZBMiniL2s to the switches, since there are no neutrals on the switch level (only permanent live and the Live out for the lamp).

I did that, but, as expected, the ZBMiniL2 cuts power to the ZBMiniR2s. I don't see a detach mode in HAOS for the ZBMiniL2, but the R2 has it.
Is there a way to remove the actual switching functionality from the ZBMiniL2 via HAOS whilst having it detect the physical switch button on the wall connected to it? That way it could still transmit the switching data via zigbee net.

I saw something about modifying the SwitchActions in the zigbee module device options, that way I would deactivate the electrical switching capabilities and keep it to always on. But it hasn't worked yet. Does anyone have any experience with this?

I'm using the Zigbee Home Automation integration.

Thanks.

putting a regular relay in the ceiling behind the light instead of behind the switch is one of the best plays in this situation.

# dusty wind is there no way to alter it via code?

its a hardware limitation. I guess you could automate on the switch being used then toggle the light and do something else. so if light is on and its turned of by switch. automation turns light back on then does whatever else.

#

powering stuff the way no neutral stuff does it is just very limiting

if only there were a way to deactivate the physical switching, I could just bind the device on the zigbee net lvl to the lamp group of zigbee modules

that would stop the switch doing anything

I'm trying to enter a command to change it via software, but I get this Failed to perform the action zha.set_zigbee_cluster_attribute. Unknown error
