Quality


Good quality product i liked and i going’s buy en other


Out of 12 switches so far (both 3-way and single pole) i have only had one that had any hiccups while trying to set it up, and ...  Read More


The coils of the relays only consume a fraction of 1 amp, which could never overload these smart switches.


Low power limitation: technically, a lighting circuit could operate up to 15-amps worth of lights (~1800 watts) if it's on a 15...  Read More

Price

I have slowly been converting all my sockets, bulbs, and switches in the house over to smart devices as these things aren’t cheap.

Shipping


These switches were delivered quickly with everything promised in the box.

Packaging/appearance


This was confusing as the instructions said to look for a qr code on the packaging or the instructions.


It’s difficult to get all those wire, nuts, packed it into the box but if you take your time it’s not impossible.

Competitiveness


I would definitely recommend this switch over the other 2 brands if you are looking to use it in a 3 way circuit.

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The bar code is a bit oblique so apple home app may need help reading it


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I do appreciate being able to modify if the green light on front stays on when the light is on or stays on when the light is off


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    You can also just have the green light off


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    They do take up more room than a regular switch and the cover doesnt just snap on easily


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Now before entering a room i can just tell alexa to turn on the light and bam i am no tripping over who knows what before finding the switch to give me light
