Hi Jeffrey
May not suit what you are trying to achieve.
But what I use here to control the outside lighting is Tapo smart plug.
One example here https://www.amazon.co.uk/TP-Link-Tapo-Mo...B097YBXHTW
They need to be in range of wifi as they connect to the internet that way.
I have one in my shed to control the outside lights and it has no problem connecting to the router without a wifi extender.
It is controlling LED lamps without any glow from the lamps when off.
I can hear what sounds like a mechanical relay as it switches on or off.
It can be controlled from an app on the phone and can be set to turn on at dusk and off at dawn.
The on and off times then changes automaticity to suit the changing length of the days.
