I'm looking for some good zigbee or thread wall dimmers for some hall lights, and I'd rather not use wifi if I can avoid it. The only thing I've been able to find on Amazon has been the Embrighten switches. Any suggestions?

Do NOT use enbrighten zigbee dimmers if you have LED lights. I installed a half dozen with Halo LED cans and they make the lights flicker at best and not dim at all at worst. And when I say flicker I mean like strobe light flickering. I had other dimmers installed before that were new but not smart and didn’t have any issues.
