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?

I’m think about putting them on bathroom fans as well. It would be really nice to have them automatically turn on/off based on humidity.

I had a humidity switch in ours a while ago (not smart) and it would turn on too much even if a shower wasn’t running but our windows were open. And, enough humidity was in the air. So that didn’t work out great.

It was a self contained deal not a smart switch though

I got the enbrighten switches set up on the bathroom fan. After a few months of observing the humidity changes I settled on triggering the fan based on the derivative of the humidity. I found that 2%/s with 2min of averaging works well, no false positives so far.
