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?

    Yep, like others mentioned it’s innovelli

    Another way to get any neutral required switches working without neutral is this small hack

    As for sliders, that’s gonna be pretty hard to get since the ones that do have it are connected to tuya mcu so you can’t decouple the relay on those even with esphome. Except paddle/button dimmer like martin jerry and tessan.
