Current best no neutral smart switches (startrek.website)

Moved into my own house again recently. I would like to get a lot of stuff automated like I had in my previous house.

Unfortunately, theres a lot if old wiring here and most switches have no neutrals in the box.

What is the current best option for smart switches (ideally dimmers) that dont require a neutral wire?

I'd prefer a non-wifi solution that doesnt require a proprietary hub but it seems like there are limited options anyway and I am having trouble finding almost any good options that dont require a neutral.

Anybody using anything they really like?

North America? I’ve heard good things about innovelli. Zigbee or zwave, bring your own hub.

North America yes. I'll look at Innovelli.

Had a friend rip out his Caseta for Innovelli because he wanted to nerd out more than Caseta would allow (smart bulbs etc.). But Caseta would be my choice for wall switches. Just so bloody expensive.
