What smart wall dimmers are you using? (waveform.social)

I'm looking for some good zigbee or thread wall dimmers for some hall lights, and I'd rather not use wifi if I can avoid it. The only thing I've been able to find on Amazon has been the Embrighten switches. Any suggestions?

I use Lutron. But they use a proprietary protocol (with local control however)

Lutron is great if you have an old home like I do because of the wall mountable remotes. I've added lamp dimmers and 3 way switches in multiple spots in my house where I'd otherwise have to do a bunch of rewiring. The bummer about them is that since the buttons are flat they can be hard to find in the dark.

There’s a new line of Caseta switches which actually look good and are traditional.

Can’t be bothered to replace mine and barely use them anyway. Just use HA and automations for the most part
