Hey all, I’m looking for a smart switch that plays nicely with smart bulbs. In a dream world it would have the following features:

  1. ability to cut power to the light ‘manually’ in case of network issues
  2. prefer sending power off/dim requests over homeassistant instead of adjusting line voltage and or cutting power (since the bulbs would be smart)
  3. Dimmer slider
  4. No neutral required

I think Zooz has the smart bulb compatibility I’m looking for but requires a neutral… Any recommendations out there?

    If by chance you are using Hue bulbs, or Alexa so you’d have compatibility (might need a Hue hub though for Alexa compatibility) you could purchase the Hue remote dimmer. The newer (2nd gen) version looks like its wall plate holes will line up with a U.S. standard outlet box. Durring a recent internet outage in my house my Hue remote dimmer switches turned my Hue lights off and on & dimmed just fine.
