A lot of relay boxes will both detect the switch position and toggle the power, so you should be able to get rid of all smart plugs that you were planning to use for this light.
The relay should have these connections:
You may have better luck with a smart zigbee switch to replace the switch. Be careful that it complies with your local regulations etc.
If you want the aesthetic of the current switch, you can alternatively get relay modules which would sit in the box behind the switch and connect both to the switch and the socket.
If you don't want to mess with the in wall wiring, you can get covers that sit over a wall switch and contain/mount a battery smart switch.
If none of that suits, sounds like you're on the right track with powering the light from a non switched socket and using the presence/absence of a second device to identify the switch position. But I don't have advice on the fine details.
Your take doesn't really fit with the timeline described in the article. If the police hadn't screwed up, it would have come out before he became MP (and presumably he wouldn't have).
It would be interesting to know how much of this is because the same factors which trigger care proceedings are also likely to harm the mother, and how much is because the care proceedings cause the harm. Either way, it's a big number and clearly more support needs to be available.
I think we also have to remember that the care proceedings are there to protect the child, and in theory are already a last resort after support has failed. Though I'm sure there's work to be done to improve that in practice.
Here's the initial statement from the RAIB https://www.gov.uk/government/news/collision-between-two-passenger-trains-near-elstow - pirc_lover had it about right
One train developed a fault which caused it to stop. The second one, as seen on its dashcam, drove through a red signal (which it should have stopped at) and into the back of the first. They are still investigating why the second one didn't stop at the signal and whether that might include brake failure, safety system failure, driver error, and/or any other factors.
Oh that one's a word wrap https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svalbard_and_Jan_Mayen
Agreed, the words on the screen are not alphabetical (I'm just theorising there's a hidden database column which is).
But in my book, if they're mostly alphabetical, that implies the intention was to be fully alphabetical and something's gone wrong. But maybe that's just me 😂
I thought about codes but wouldn't that put Germany before Denmark? Maybe there's some other code system
It's not claiming, but it quite clearly is.
It's just that Great Britain and the Hellenic Republic have a different display text.
I think I found it on a random internet list, but thanks for the link. Now I know many more ology words...
