Looking for a dimmer switch that will control these Govee Downlights. Or other similar smart lights. Just need a switch that turns the lights on to their last setting and dims them. The colours and the rest I can control with the APP or Alexa. I know Lutron makes the aurora series and Inovelli also make switches that control smart lights. Just they seem to be Zigbee or Z-wave and these Govee lights just say WiFi or Bluetooth. Will those work or is there other options.

Just because the switch is zigbee or zwave doesn't mean they can't control a wifi or bluetooth device with a platform in between.

I use zwave switches to toggle on/off a bluetooth led strip and a wifi outdoor outlet.

Pretty sure you're looking for a smart switch that has a smart bulb mode.
