What are your favorite go-to wall light switches? I see Lutron has one that is for no neutral but requires a bridge of some sort?

All I need is to be able to turn office lights on or off from a phone. No dimming. Employees leave lights on in the upstairs offices and the owner wants to see whether they are on or not, and be able to turn the lights off with his phone from home.
 
Lutron works well, yes, you need the hub, but has pretty good range. I believe it uses Bluetooth. I set up a heavy equipment repair shop to where the owner can shut off the air compressor and lights if the employees left them on. (You can also see if they are actually on)
 
Leviton smart switch. No hub needed. I think Lutron is a better system though. Whatever switch you pick make sure to get one from a major manufacturer, dozens of these kinds of switches come from companies that flame out and are no longer supported so you are left with a $50 manual toggle switch.
