I have an early 2000s house and they went wild with a) the sheer number of wall switches and b) the number of 3-way switches. I want to replace a good number of them while accepting my wife’s requirement that they look and function as dumb paddle switches when necessary.

I’ve looked around and these seem to be the best at fitting all of my requirements but Mama Mia, the price 😭 😭 😭 😭

Anyone have some suggestions?

    Edit: Scene support is not a priority. I need remote control so I can integrate sensors or scenes set up in HA

    These are immediately going on the top of the list. Also, I’m going to adopt WAF as a metric immediately. Thank you.

    Quick questions about owning these. Do the paddles stay in the center? Or do they click into a position? Also, do you find the click of switching them as loud as non-smart switches?

      The switches reset into a neutral position, so you can’t tell if they’re on or off except for the LED.

      The dimmers don’t make a noticeable sound but the switches make an slight audible click when turning on or off.

      Worth noting mine are a few years old and they may have changed some things.
