Hi Guys, I have been a long term HA user, but I always seem to find issues with various dimming systems.

I am not going to design a lighting arrangement from scratch and want to find something that does an exceptional job with dimming AND nicely integrates with HA.

I would love a recommendation for:

  1. Can Light
  2. Light/Bulb
    Optional #3 Driver combined with one of these.

I know Nora and Lutron supposedly work well together. But I am "meh" about lutron while they make great products I do like me some zwave/zigbee.

Thank you!

If in the US, I've been happy with this bulb and switch combo. I couldn't tell you who the manufacturer of the can is though (it's whatever the builder used when we had the house built):
Switch: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0921T7L2V?th=1
Bulb: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CW3NJ569 (they have a switch on the bulb that lets you choose your preferred white color temperature)

Smart speakers are not Z-Wave controllers so you will need a compatible Z-Wave hub to control this dimmer with voice.
Smart speaker compatible Z-Wave hubs include:
