Help Me Satisfy My Wife Using HA (lemmy.world)

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 😭 😭 😭 😭

Anyone have some suggestions?

Help me out here. I happen to own a few cync bulbs as a carryover from my last home.. The app has gotten better. But I feel like they have been extremely finicky. I am trying them on the custom integration and they are still finicky and seems like they break protocol. How do you get them to work over matter on HA?

Not all CYNC bulbs are Matter. Do they have a QR code and an 11 digit code printed on them?

Nope. These things are 5ish years old, Cync "direct connect". I have a few Cync wifi bulbs and even 2 Bluetooth-mesh bulbs from wayyyy back
