In-wall light switch recommendations (lemmy.world)

I'm looking to replace a few in-wall light switches for lights that are not easily replaced with smart bulbs. I currently use Home Assistant with z2m for all my smart lights and switches, so zigbee switches would be preferred. Does anyone have recommendations for smart in-wall switches?

I know you’re in zigbee, but I’ve tested many different wall switches and IMO Zooz Zwave switches are the best option.

They’re cheap, reliable, and most importantly don’t cause LED lights to flicker like every other brand I’ve tested. They also have replaceable paddles so you can change the color of the paddles. I purchased black paddles and used a sand blaster to make them matte like the rest of the outlets and plates around my apartment.

Inovelli is also great however those switches are overkill for most situations and very pricey.
