Pros & Cons
Pros
Once set up, the switch responds to control with the app pretty much instantaneously. Connection to wi-fi is quick and easy. Google integration works, allowing me to control the light with my phone and watch.
It's as easy to install as any light switch, that is, literally anybody can turn their breaker off. Installation is as straight forward as any of the best smart switches i've used, it's a only a matter of opening the cync app and following some prompt... Read More

The “on/off button” style of switch looks sharp and operates completely silently (no audible ‘click’ when turning on/off).
4ghz is crowded and can affect reliability in use.

You do need to download the cync app to connect it to alexa once connected it responds to being turned on and off but is not dimmable

I was hoping that if we purchased a dimmer bulb it would respond on the app but sadly that did not work if you want it to have that ability you need to purchase the kit that allows for that

I’m heavily invested in tplink kasa products but my basement light switches are lacking neutrals so i needed another option

Since the switch doesn’t require a neutral i assume this switch stays “slightly open” to power itself apparently this may cause flickering if the load is under 15w so an e26 bulbtype resistor is included in case you need it

The app is clean and easy to use however it takes a moment to “find” the switch when i open the app something i’m not used to with kasa
