What smart wall dimmers are you using? (waveform.social)

I'm looking for some good zigbee or thread wall dimmers for some hall lights, and I'd rather not use wifi if I can avoid it. The only thing I've been able to find on Amazon has been the Embrighten switches. Any suggestions?

I use the 4 button Philips hue dimmers. Mostly mostly because I already had some from before I started using home assistant, and then because it's easier to add more or replace when needed. All reconfigured in node-red, all behave the same:

  • quick press of the on button toggles the room's ceiling lights
  • quick press of the up button toggles the room's lamps
  • quick press of the down button toggles the room's fans
  • quick press of the off button turns everything in the room off
  • long press of the on button toggles the room's curtains
  • long press of the up button brightens any lights that are on in the room
  • long press of the down button dims any lights that are on in the room
  • long press of the off button turns off all downstairs devices and locks the doors
