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?

Been using enbrighten switches from Jasco. I use their Zwave but I think they have ZigBee too.

I use the ones that look like toggle switches over the paddle style to match the rest of the house .

I have them on all our bathroom fans too so they can be left on (steam / smell disposal) and auto shut off after 30 min.

I'm think about putting them on bathroom fans as well. It would be really nice to have them automatically turn on/off based on humidity.

I had a humidity switch in ours a while ago (not smart) and it would turn on too much even if a shower wasn't running but our windows were open. And, enough humidity was in the air. So that didn't work out great.

It was a self contained deal not a smart switch though
