Leviton Decora Smart Z-Wave switch, dimmer and fan controller
Three Leviton Decora Smart Z-Wave devices in the same paddle: a plain on/off switch, a dimmer and a four-speed fan controller. All three are Z-Wave only, fully local through Z-Wave JS, and all three need a neutral wire.
Match the device to the load. The ZW15S switch is for anything that only needs on and off: bathroom fans, closet lights, outdoor lights.
The ZW6HD dimmer is the one for lights you want to dim, and the ZW4SF is a proper fan controller with four speeds, so it won't damage a fan motor the way a dimmer can; it's AC-motor fans only.
Whichever you pick, you need a Z-Wave controller in Home Assistant and a neutral wire in the box.
I haven't run any of these; the picks are based on the spec sheets and what other Home Assistant users report.
