I have ivory wall plates throughout my house and don’t want to switch them all out to white. Does any other mfr sell ivory dimmers besides Leviton?
Yes, Evolve are the least expensive ones.
Evolve and Linear WD500Z dimmers claim to have interchangeable faceplates and trim rings that include Black, Brown, and Almond. The almond colored kit may work for you.
Edit: EVOLVE LRM-AS Dimmer Switch (ALMOND). No kit required.
Thanks been searching around and Leviton seemed to be the only one that advertises it. I’ll check those out.
JPF, I’m in the same predicament, wife insists on almond plates in certain rooms. From my research, the lowest cost options are:
Leviton - they COME with all the trim kits by default (white, almond, ivory) but you have to like their switch style and pay a slightly higher price.
Evolve/Linear - basically the same switch sold under different brand names. As Z-Waver pointed out, if you search a little you can find the switches with the trim color you want, if you can’t find stock on those then you buy the white ones and you can then buy additional color trim kits for approximately $4 - 5 USD.
At the higher price range is Cooper, I happen to like the aesthetics of their switch design, but you are paying a premium for their stuff.
Hope this helps,

Thanks Tc1, if I had only thought to have white switches throughout the house.
Can you dim evolve/ linear on the switch or is it just via your computer? Can’t tell from the pictures/ description
Yes, they dim from the manually activated paddle as well as from Vera.
For 3-way configurations you have to use a special controller switch, Evolve LTM-5 Accessory Switch. It is not possible to use a standard switch for a 3-way remote.
These switches use/require a neutral wire.
These switches do not support Instant status.
