Is this correct? I have smart dimmer switches and trying to talk myself into buying the remotes lol.

cant imagine why, lol.
they daisy chain easily. works flawlessly. doesnt waste power like wifi adapters. i dont keep wifi on when not at home. they even have a dimming version, but not interested in those.

For me its running as a virtual machine on one of my servers, but you can run it on a Raspberry Pi, NUC, a laptop, etc.
Even a $1500 enterprise access point suffers the same latency and airtime fairness issues because its inherent in the technology not the equpment.
Newer itterations of Wifi like Wifi6e and Wifi7 have made big changes to help with this, but that only matters if your using a Wifi6e or Wifi7 device and all these smart home devices are 2.4ghz using older generations of Wifi.
Going Wifi is one of worst way to have a large home of smart devices even if it can be made to work very well.
Other prodocols are more stable, use less battery, etc.
The only thing you can really do to "fix" conjestion issues is the exact same thing we do in the enterprise, have multiple access points and load balance between them.
The only time equipment age or capability comes into play is if its so old and cheap that its running out of hardware resources trying to handle the load.
As a network engineer, I have never seen that happen in a home before only in a poorly configured enterprise environment.
Please refrain from telling anyone "whats what" until you actually know what your talking about.
One is a physical in wall switch that you must hard wire to replace a regular switch.
I have a motion one in the laundry, a dimmer in the kitchen, dimmer in the dining room, and a couple of regular ones in the house for like the master bedroom closet.
Then I have Hue switches that can control those switches remotely from different locations, and 8 million other devices.
So these Hue switches also control my WLED leds in the home theater, and my back patio, and my Sonoff switches for my back patio fans, change colors or presets on different lights, Etc.
The entire point of the Hue swtiches is wireless, remote, and you use program logic to tell it what to do and how.
The TP link is hardwired and dedicated to one circut and only has one function a relay to turn something on/off.
I'd say your comparing apples to oranges, but I think even that is too much credit because in this case I don't even think both are fruit.
I'll attach a couple of screenshots showing some of the automation I use these for.
I have it starting a setting to automatically dim the lights and match the color tempature of the sunset (circadian rythm) turn on my bar lights, some strange off brand lights, etc.
I can literally use one of thse as a remote to turn on my theater setup so the AVR, Projector, Amps, Etc.
With tinkering they work with anything.

Would this integrate at all in any way to save that trouble?
