Looking for a good smart relay with a dimmer (lemmy.sdf.org)

I'm thinking about upgrading my relays and previously got recommendations for Qubino Mini but they don't seem to be available anymore.

What smart relays do you use? Preferably those that can both be used with and without the dimmer function. For the Partner-approval-factor it should of course be usable without the smart functions as well.

If you go the zigbee route I recommend this one, works well and supports direct binding too: https://zigbee.blakadder.com/Gledopto_GL-SD-001.html

Stay away from the Moes, takes like 1.5sec to get to full brightness when turning on and you can't get rid of the delay.

If you are fine with relays as well look into Nous modules, I got a dual channel relay module from them that works very well, also supports direct binding. They might have dimmers too, but I haven't used them myself.

All these require neutral though, can't speak of their non-neutral versions.
