Lutron's RF PD-5S-DV-WH and Caseta PD-5WS-DV-WH switches do not require a neutral for most applications.
They make a regular switch as well. It's not a rocker, but I have a bunch of them in my house and like them.

These look like the same switch. But $15 cheaper...

If you're talking about the PD-5WS-DV-WH switch, I bought one from a wholesale website I've never heard of. Wink thinks it's a dimmer, but it works just fine. Anything above 0% is ON.
A couple of those wholesalers are selling it through Amazon now. I also got this two button pico remote to match.
I got you fam. I know you already returned them but Lutron makes switches that don't require a neutral. They're not exactly cheap but they work, they're just simple on/off switches.

The 3-ways can be used in a single setup just by capping the runner wire. I don't have any of them in 3-way setups; the one 3-way I do have I converted to a single-switch and then a wireless remote at the other end.
If you look at the picture at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NCEMBIA (which is what I have) then the blue is the runner and can be capped off. The "tabs" on either side snap off to reduce the size so they fit into a multi-gang.
I know I'm late to the party and I'm not sure if you'd learned this since this post, but Lutron makes simple on/off Caseta switches that also do not require a neutral. I just installed 2 of these last week and they work great
The Lutron Caseta also has an on/off switch (no dimming) that will pair to Wink.

I have a ceiling fan with a light and this could be a perfect solution for that. Obviously I won't be able to control the ceiling fan from Wink, but I can at least automate the lights hopefully.
Caseta has non-dimming switches that work with HomeKit. The more reasonably priced one requires neutral but the hard to find one doesn't. (For some reason it's on Amazon for $58 instead of $70+ as I write this)
These can be used to turn a fan on and off, but not control the fan speed.
I wish there was a Caseta version of this combined controller (for a reasonable price) that can work with one wire to the canopy.
Looks like this switch can be wired up with a regular 3 way in the garage, so maybe this is the way to go.

no. I'm referring to switches, not dimmers. I've used two different Lutron ones:
One has two black wires, the other has a red for the load.

I have two choices for you.
If you have a neutral, this one has the motion sensor in the switch and uses IR and ultrasound:

Don't have a neutral? Or the switch isn't in a good place to detect motion? No problem:
Buy a motion sensor:

And a switch it will pair to:

This switch doesn't require a neutral.
