Hi All,
I am looking for a smart dimmer to use in all of the locations that I would not otherwise use a Control4 dimmer. For example, I was going to put a dumb light switch in my kids closets (simple on/off). These switches are like $5.00. No real reason to have these integrated in my smart home (and spend $100 for a C4 dimmer/switch) at these locations but that being said, I am thinking I should just install a cheap smart dimmer anyway and if they work, great, if they don't work that well then I won't have lost too much money on them anyway. In looking they range anywhere from $10/$15 all the way up to $60. At $60 I won't bother but at $15 I might as well use them.
What do you guys recommend as something that is simple and cheap and might be usable/reliable on C4 with a driver purchase?
I was warned to be careful that if I use a straight wifi only dimmer (rather than one that goes through a hub) it may make sorting my wifi devices overly complicated. Not sure if this matters because I suppose I can set a vLAN just for these IOT devices, but if you think this matters, please let me know. (I am using UI Dream Machine and UI wifi if that matters).
Thanks!
