Hello! Looking for a whole home solution. In my prior house I had an assortment of zigbee and z-wave devices compiled over the years.
For our new home I would like to replace all the switches in the home with some nice brass switches from buster and punch or Forbes and Lomax but what I can’t figure out is a good solution for the dimmers and fan controls.
I was thinking some form of smart relay so I could have the nice brass switches for the dimmers.
And maybe wire the DC motor fans to always have power and control them with some sort of scene controller or smart switch via Home assistant
I have the Yale assure 2 WiFi and love it! I have only had it installed since June and haven’t had to change the batteries yet. I was initially thinking Z-wave because the rest of my smart lights on Z-wave 800 which has amazing distance but with the WiFi version and the Yale APP it is super easy to use and my wifi loves it because she can make a temporary code via the app for the dog walker that automatically becomes active for a specific time each week.
I am a little salty they released the assure 2 plus which allows you to use your iPhone directly or a finger print to open it shortly after I purchase mine.
