Smart light behind on/off relay with the better of both worlds

I’ve installed the Aqara relay (LLKZMK11LM) behind a smart bulb (Ikea Trådfri) using Zigbee2Mqtt, but I find difficult to configure to fulfil my needs.

I want the relay to be able to turn on/off the lights using physical switches (not being limited to “ugly” modern switches, that don’t work if HA is off), and working even if the smart system fails.
However, I find a few problems:
1.- If I turn off the switch, I can’t set the light temperature / brightness until I turn on the light, and then wait to change it.
2.- If I turn directly off the bulb, then pressing the switch just does “nothing” visible.
3.- To turn the lights back not using the physical switches I can do it using HA, so this wouldn’t be a real problem.

Then…, how could I configure to properly manage physical switches and smart lights together with the better of both worlds?
