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)

I use lutron (dimming), they are older ones I think the newest one I have is 4 years old, I get a ton of flickering in my LED bulbs. Do you experience that? I've tried a variety of bulbs and it's the same issues if not worse. I was planning to switch to a different brand when I have the time to commit to it.

You mean the Lutron Caseta ones right?

Yea I do notice the flickering in one of my rooms. They do sell a capacitor to solve the issue Lutron LUT-MLC https://a.co/d/eXWMCdY

I haven’t bothered with it since the room with the flickering is my server room.
