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?

No, it's not what I described. That type of relay installed in a switch box, not near lamp bulb. It has some requirements for the bulb, such as "minimum 3W bulb" or bypass. I bet it could cause some blinking effects, I don't what to deal with it.
