I can't find on google or on the forum how to make an esp8266 based gateway with a local relay connected report the state of the relay back to my controller(which is a vera, but that should't matter). Thanks for the help.
I too have a Vera Plus and the firmware used is OpenWRT. That is the base linux that the Vera controllers are built on. I don't know if theUI for the Vera Edge is the same as the Plus, but on mine if you go to Settings > Firmware in the left menu, it should check if there are any firmware updates available. It's always best to run the latest firmware available.
I have it ,look to my project.. project from example directory working .. but if power on node then register to gateway but not send actual state of relay .. I do it ..

fhem is more stable but you need to configure everything manually,
configure 'everything' is not entirely true, in respect to MySensors there's an autocreate-mode in FHEM. You will have to manually configure the gateway (e.g. 'define gw MYSENSOR /dev/ttyUSB0'), then activate autocreate (by pressing the include-button on the gateway, or setting the autocreate-attribute on the gateway device), then restart all MySensor-nodes and fhem will create a MYSENSORS_DEVICE-entry for every Sensor that sends presentation-messages while inclusion-mode is active.
I liked domoticz (was very easy to set up and use). Together with dzVents scripting wasn't that difficult either. But I also had some problem with it lately, so I was actually thinking about switching to openhab (2).
Use a latching relay. Here is one I found on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015MRQNXS/?coliid=I3LXTGKX4GEPUR&colid=31WWM91JAUE22&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
If you are trying to use with existing 3 ways use https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015MSYQ8Q/?coliid=I3RP8X9OMYWU97&colid=31WWM91JAUE22&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
Use an optocoupler to indicate lamp status...see the last diagram in this post. https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=435506.0
@Shivanand-Chanderbally I recently finished a node using the acs712 and found it to be very sensitive to nearby magnetic fields. It is best to have it as far away from these as you can.
