So building new home. Its a small aframe up on the side of a mtn. Don’t need anything fancy like multi zone. Only need on/off with dimming. Buying switches for the main lights and am thinking its one of the following two.
Will be running a home assistant yellow and with a zwave dongle i believe. Any input? People like these switches? Would i be better off with zigbee or matter?
In my extensive experience, use Zooz zen series for the bulk of your switches. Buy inovelli for special switches such as by your front door or anywhere you might want the use of the LED indicator strip and scenes.
Majority of other smart switches will give you issues with dimming flicker. Trust me, I’ve bought thousands of dollars of smart switches. Zooz and Inovelli are great choices.
I absolutely love Zooz. Their customer service is fantastic and products just work, if you can provide proper Z-Wave coverage. If you prefer WiFi, I have several Shelly products behind traditional switches that have been rock solid.

I’ve never used either zigbee or z-wave. Matter is vaporware as far as dimmers go.
I went with lutron caseta, their Diva line is really nice. And now they have 2 button pico remotes that aren’t fugly.
I went with the inovelli switches but just checked out the site really liking the Lutron blinds. Thanks for the tip.
Inovelli Red is z-wave
If you want Zigbee or Thread, the Blue series come as Zigbee and claim to be flashable to Thread
I have both and am very happy with them
Thats really good to know. I ordered Blues but wasnt aware that it could be converted. Thanks.
