I connected some switches to control lights via UPB. Today I noticed that after a couple hours of having the porch light and the two garage door lights on; the switch that controls the two garage door lights was warm to the touch. The other switches where normal temperature. Is this normal? Eeach of the lights on the driveway have 3 small lights probably 20 to 30 wats each bulb and they have their own built in dimmer.

Pretty normal. Any switch without a relay is going to have some loss through the trac. Just follow the ratings given. If you have two or more switches mounted next to each other, you need to derate each a bit.
