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?

They work like regular switches. The flip of the physical switch sends the change back to home assistant to keep everything synchronicity.

I don't have any, though, so I'm not sure if you can set it to "up is always on", or if it ends up being a switch, so "whichever direction just changes the on/off state"
