So building new home. Its a small aframe up on the side of a mtn. Don’t need anything fancy like multi zone. Only need on/off with dimming. Buying switches for the main lights and am thinking its one of the following two.
Will be running a home assistant yellow and with a zwave dongle i believe. Any input? People like these switches? Would i be better off with zigbee or matter?
Im a noob so thanks for the help!

Zwave is a closed standard and all your components will be slightly more expensive and harder to buy.
Zigbee is much more open, plus maybe threads will become a big thing one day.
I only use zwave for legacy reasons, I’ve been using it since before zigbee was a thing and I still have a handful of devices on it.
IKEA is a good source of cheap zigbee components to play with.
