- SELECT MOTION CONTROL – The dimmer adjusts brightness levels of dimmable LED, CFL, incandescent and halogen lights from 0-100 percent to reduce energy costs and improve bulb life. Personalize the dimmer with three motion-detection options – occupancy, vacancy and manual. Occupancy mode turns lights ON/OFF automatically, while lights are turned on manually and off automatically in the vacancy setting. To deactivate the motion sensor, select manual operation. With five time-out duration options ranging from five seconds to 30 minutes and up to 180-degree detection coverage, the dimmer accommodates any room with varying amounts of activity. Additionally, enjoy custom scenes, versatile scheduling and convenient alerts with remote operation and voice control when connected to a compatible hub.

Extended signal range increases your home automation coverage to enhance your control.

For dumb switches the Lutron Maestro are the best I've tried.

For smart switches I use the GE Dimmer, though that's the only brand/model I've bought so I can't compare to alternates. But mine works quite well and if you have SmartThings it offers some customization.
GE makes a Z-wave light switch that dims and has a motion sensor. I have one that is strictly on/off for my pantry and it works great.

Yep, every office where I work has them and they are very effective. Under the button too they have dials to control sensitivity and timeout.
If OP needs something to integrate with current automation GE also makes a z-wave version: https://smile.amazon.com/GE-Wireless-Lighting-Occupancy-26933/dp/B071Y38FX5
Writing the automation is specific to your controller. I only have experience with Vera.
In the process of building a new home but here is what we are doing for most of the switches.
Most lights will be on GE motion zwave dimmer. Plan to use the motion as part of home alarm system as well as other triggers.

Lights in multi gang boxes that already have a motion zwave will get the Homeseer 200 smart switch. The fans will be controlled by the Homeseer 200 fan switches. I plan to take advantage of their multi tap features to control other switches or automations and the leds to indicate current situations.

From my research these are the best/ most versatile zwave switches you can get.
I’d avoid smart bulbs for reasons mentioned already. I’d want everything to work without smarts if needed.
GE has an In-Wall Motion Dimmer. It has vacancy/occupancy/manual modes. You can set it so that it turns off after a few minutes of no detected motion. Here it is
Not sure if you are using a motion sensor for your garage lights but if you're not you might consider the GE 26933. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071Y38FX5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This could solve both requirements and you wouldn't need the tilt sensor to be involved in the lighting automation.
If there is a neutral wire, you could do something like this:

Can do all the same features locally or be added to your smart home system for more features. I've got one and it works great.
I don't have one, but your post got me interested in looking, as I am currently getting ready to add some smart switches. The price of these are great, your adding a motion sensor for just a few dollars more then a normal smart switch.
Anyways back to your question, I found this review on the dimmer version of the switch
> So, it works. Well, stand alone it works fine. Wink does not fully support it. So you get a phantom sensor that you can't control in the app and you get two switches (both do the same thing) in the app. They are aware of the need to upgrade their app. The tech was surprised since they support the Zwave switch and dimmers from GE without a problem. I was too. So, it works, I am keeping it, but with Wink, it's a bit winky. I replaced a sensor and non-dimmer switch with this. I like it
I think this qualifies as a new question... I want to set up a couple rooms in my house with motion sensors and smart switches to turn lights on and off after a certain amount of inactivity - My wife and kids are notoriously bad at doing it themselves. My question is this... Is it better to get a smart switch and sensor or buy a combo device like this? Price-wise it seems to be about the same so are there any practical considerations that would drive my choice one way or the other?
GE makes a ZWave motion dimmer that works well: https://www.amazon.com/GE-Occupancy-Required-SmartThings-26933/dp/B071Y38FX5/
However, all of those locations you listed might work just as well with "dumb" motion switch: https://www.amazon.com/TOPGREENER-TSOS5-W-Occupancy-Override-REQUIRED/dp/B01M01SVG9/
Looks like amazon has the GE version.
