Finally replaced some old switches.
We have an odd lighting set up in the living room. The main switch controls two sconces, but there's a ceiling fan on one side and fixture on the other. All were HUE bulbs.
One of the HUE bulbs in the fixture died and since I hate HUE bulbs I decided to get a smart switch and use regular bulbs for the fixture.
Wiring was thankfully straightforward. Since I was there, bathroom got a modern switch update too.

The image shows a white light switch plate mounted on a textured gray wall. The plate has two switches: the left switch is a dimmer with a sliding mechanism, and the right switch is a standard toggle switch with a small green indicator light. Below the switches, the word "BATHROOM" is printed in black text. The dimmer switch is in the middle position, and the toggle switch is in the off position. The overall appearance is clean and modern, with the switches and plate contrasting against the textured wall.

@jackbrewster That might work, but our place is full of wall plates like this.
Ideally, I’d like to replace all three at once. In the US that would likely be 3 separate switches.
