I have installed a number of 120v smart light switches and smart bulbs which I have set up on a schedule via an app. I would like to add another smart light switch for a light fixture that has a 120v to 12v transformer inside the light fixture, lighting six 12v (previously halogen) currently LED bulbs. I would like to add a smart switch to this fixture so I can add that fixture to the schedule. I'm wondering whether the 12v transformer will work properly with a standard (non-dimming) Smart Switch.

Any feed back would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Sup

For information's sake, I was able to successfully install a smart light switch for this fixture using a 120v to 12 v transformer. I had assumed that it would shut the power to the transformer the same as any other electrical fixture, but I just wanted to make sure that I wouldn't destroy the transformer. It does work the same without any issues.
