Hey guys.. New to this forum. I'm really hoping someone can help me.
My experience level ranges from beginner to advanced. Depending on the topic. So bare with me. Im an electrician btw.
Long story short, I have a Sonoff (wifi relay for home automation). It has an on board momentary push button switch that can be used to manually turn the output on or off (under 5v I believe). I wish to use this behind a light switch,but keep the light switch to override the sonoff. The problem is the light switch is a standard on off switch. While I could use a different switch I'm trying to find a way to keep the original in place. So I need something that when I close the switch it closes for less than a second across the existing momentary. I'm thinking a 555 ic is going to be on the cards but while I have great soldering skills, I haven't done any work previously with ICs. Any help would be amazing!
Thanks.
Sam
