Hello! Looking for a whole home solution. In my prior house I had an assortment of zigbee and z-wave devices compiled over the years.

For our new home I would like to replace all the switches in the home with some nice brass switches from buster and punch or Forbes and Lomax but what I can’t figure out is a good solution for the dimmers and fan controls.

I was thinking some form of smart relay so I could have the nice brass switches for the dimmers.

And maybe wire the DC motor fans to always have power and control them with some sort of scene controller or smart switch via Home assistant
