I have a ceiling fan that is wired to two switches on the wall. One control the fan (on\off) the other controls the light (On\Off). Can I replace each switch with a zwave toggle switch or do I need something special?
I was thinking this...

You can just use two standard ZWAVE switches, that is what I did. You will have to map out the colors, believe that mine had red wiring for the fan hot lead. Also recommend you look at Lowes for ZWAVE switches, they seem the be the most reasonably priced and can be purchased locally.

I have on my light side of the fan a dimmer switch and LED bulbs that are dimmable.

Thanks! I was wondering if I could use a dimmer on the light side.

Make sure you get Zwave switch that supports LEDs that use load, hot, ground and neutral wires and not just hot, load and ground. http://www.lowes.com/pd650034-1353-127242221z0vj58?productId=50343474&pl=1&Ntt=iris#BVRRWidgetID
