What's your home automation dimmer strategy/choice?

The Lutron stuff is very very solid. And you can set it up so you aren't depending on HS being up for base level functions, which I think is important. Not because HS is unreliable, it isn't, but my principle is that HA is best used for INTEGRATION, and not as a remote control. I want my HVAC, security, lighting, AV control to work well in standalone modes, and have the HA integrate the sensors and device controls to deliver automation value.

I agree, which is why I'm leaning towards Lutron (I may be moving homes in the near future). I like the fact that Lutron works directly with Alexa and HomeKit, both of which I use extensively. I do have Alexa and HomeKit working with HomeSeer, but I don't want to be dependent on HomeSeer for Alexa and HomeKit functionality to work with my light switches. HomeSeer doesn't even support HomeKit, so I need to use homebridge). While HomeSeer works well with Alexa, it seems every 4 to 5 months, I need to re-add my devices to Alexa to fix "... the device is not responding..." problem. If I move homes, I would still use HomeSeer for its event engine and integrating various technologies (Lutron, Z-Wave, Zigbee for my Philips Hue ambience lights, etc.), but I may go from Z-Wave to Lutron for light switches. I got a Lutron Caseta Smart Bridge Pro, and a couple of Lutron devices to start playing with Lutron.
