Inovelli
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Inovelli, Hue, Zooz, Aqara all have switches that you can put into decoupled/"smart bulb" mode and it doesn't actually switch the power, it just acts as a smart switch
- If you live in a 120v country, there is also Inovelli.
- Inovelli makes the best
- Inovelli is premium but very pricey at $60+ per switch. If I could afford $60 x50 for my house I would probably choose Inovelli.
- So I'm that respect, Inovelli and Zooz can both also use just one smart dimmer and the rest auxiliary. They can also both work without neutral if needed (but work netted with one of you have one). But it's the level of customization you...
Cons
- Inovelli has a ton of features but are expensive comparatively and tend to be hard to find.
- I feel like it's either Zooz or Inovelli here. I dont see Inovelli bringing 3x the value so I went with Zooz for my last purchase. ... Inovelli has some nice features where it may make sense to splurge on them even just for 1-2 switches....
- I'd love to use Inovelli but they're not available for use in Australia unfortunately :(
- Im buying Zooz switches partly for that reason.. and partly because I like paying $24/switch vs the $60/switch from inovelli
- A close second are switches from Inovelli. The features are mostly the same but their LEDs kind of bleed together so it's more of a light bar.

Inovelli wins this battle hands down. Second, Zooz. Third, Lutron.
I recommend Inovelli for the switch (the Zigbee blue series is more available), and basically any Zigbee motion sensor.
That said I believe Inovelli makes some switches where the power control aspects can be disabled and then they act as scene controllers that can be programmed to do whatever any smart button can
Aqara H2, Inovelli or Eve.
