I have an early 2000s house and they went wild with a) the sheer number of wall switches and b) the number of 3-way switches. I want to replace a good number of them while accepting my wife's requirement that they look and function as dumb paddle switches when necessary.

I've looked around and these seem to be the best at fitting all of my requirements but Mama Mia, the price ๐Ÿ˜ญ ๐Ÿ˜ญ ๐Ÿ˜ญ ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Anyone have some suggestions?

@[email protected] some cheap KASA switches don't work for you?

I believe KASA need wifi to work. Or do they just work as dumb switches without a connection? I'm avoiding stuff which needs to communicate externally and would prefer a solution which won't add to my LAN

Edit: but that price. Daaaaaammmmn
