Smart button to IKEA TERTIAL with Smart Lamp (alien.top)

Hello, I have (or will buy) the following components: Sonoff Zigbee gateway, Philips Hue, IKEA Tertial. I'd like to remove the TERTIAL's button and replace it with a smart button that will turn on/off the lightbult instead of the lamp.

The reason for this is that I hate the fact that I can't turn on the lamp remotely if I turn it off phisically. On the other hand, I'd like not to rely exclusively on other devices such as smartphone (or TRADFRI buttons, which may discharge) to perform such a simple task as turning the lamp on and off.

Is there a device that is as described? Thank you in advance
