Light switches

Radigan1B to Home Automation@selfhosted.forumEnglish · 1 year ago

Hi all, Thank you in advance for any help you can provide me.

I am looking to update all the light switches in my house to smart switches. I have a few questions that can hopefully lead me to the correct setup for me.

I have seen some things talking about HUB needed and some that do not require HUB, What circumstances would make me want the HUB and the contrary?
I have 1 light controlled by 3 switches, is there a good switch to control this? I have found limited 3 switch sets.
Is there a good place buy switches in bulk? I currently have 14 primary switches, 3 secondary switches, 1 tertiary switch, and 15 single rocker switches. hoping to save a little money picking them up in bulk.

Thank you again in advance of your assistance.
