Pros & Cons
Pros
Switches respond nearly instantly to local switching and plenty fast to remote control (when an automation or remote switch is triggered, the light comes on within ~1 second) i have a switch leg switch at the top of my basement stairs that controls on... Read More
The switch is fairly compact for a smart switch though i still had to be very careful about making sure it wasn't installed too snugly. One thing i would change is the thickness of the body housing. Is single rocker, zigbee i'm happy so far.
Installation is breeze. I’m a novice when it comes to wiring. The switch comes with all of the screws and wire nuts necessary to complete the installation. It's less bulky than the other junction boxes we've tried.
The wire configuration isn’t regular because it can do two lights (or a light and a fan) on one switch.
Cons
Amazon refuses to refund or exchange them. Pursuing a refund with the manufacturer but thinking twice before purchasing more products by aqara. Just to be very clear about the 1. Go order, pay, and wait for date.

I can set up aqara automations and apple homekit automation together.
That also makes it a little better that the kasa.
Now go to your alexa dot or other that supports zigbee and tell it "alexa discover devices".
