I use Smartthings and really like it. You can find the hubs for less than $80 if patient and looking around. Ya that may seam like a lot but using the switch you picked out at $80 x 3 for a cost of $240 while Smarthings plus either these Leviton or these [GE] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MUCZA1C/ref=psdc_507840_t4_B01N4F487U) will end up being cheaper if you buy 3 or more. Z-wave is designed for exactly this, home automation stuff so I really prefer to use that over WiFi devices.
I don't have any switches at the moment, only Hue but I will be getting some eventually. For a Hub you have two real options if you are really new and not super techy, Wink and SmartThings. Both have different strengths. I've never used Wink but that seams to be a bit more user friendly, however Smartthings is by no means difficult and it has a very helpful community and is more customization. Someone will probably take issue with this but I liken Wink to IOS (cleaner UI, a bit smoother, just works) and Smartthings to Android (much more custimizable)

The sale at Home Depot right now is really good for them. I used camelcamelcamel and just waited for a price drop on Amazon to buy them all at once. They seem to fluctuate in price quite often.
Looks pretty good, I don't know if I need the functionality of multi tap. The other switches in the box go to outlets on either side of the bed, and a ceiling fan which from my understanding cannot be connected to these switches. So, without the need for multi tap, is the $10 price premium over the leviton worth it?
Woot had these a couple weeks ago, I bought 10 of the switches and they seem fine. From what I hear this style of dimmer is hard to use and kind of garbage. Is it worth the savings vs these? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N4F487U/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_hWDHzbVT7JG5Q
It's not the best. I'm looking to replace a dimmer in my dining room, I think I may go either the Leviton style or the GE touch sensitive dimmers.
Not sure I understand the question, because hardwired dimmer switches that allow remote as well as physical interaction are widely available.
