Wanting to replace my stacked light switch on my porch. Right now it is simple. On/off for outside light , bottom switch is on/off for porch light. Love to make it wireless, system not really important since I have Apple and android devices with a google assistant.
Not wanting a dang dimmer on it. Closest I found is Lutron MA-L3S25. However part is a dimmer. Currently using incandescent and fluorescent but may switch to led once they burn out.

For what it's worth, is basically cost effective to replace good incandescent bulbs. In my area it cost about $1 per watt per year. So if I have a 60 watt light on all night it cost me $30 in electricity. An 8 watt LED light costs $4. So the old bulb costs me $2.50/month. The LED bulb costs $0.33. An LED bulb can be had for under $2 so I'm just one month I can justify the savings.

Since you don't want to replace the bulb right now you could always replace the light switch with a smart switch you can control through an app. Some even have the option to set a schedule.

That is what I asked. The switch is a stacked switch. for controlling 2 seperate lights. Like a wireless option without the dang dimmer.

I use this Lutron wireless switch in my bedroom to turn out the lights when I'm done reading and ready for bed. Don't have to get up out of the warm blanket to do this. It requires a Pico remote (sold separately and linked on that page). No smart phone control, just simple on/off with a remote. It does require a neutral in the box.
