Pros & Cons

Pros

Wall plate snaps in place, providing a nice and clean look. Installation went smoothly. All you need is a screwdriver.

Homekit switches in the big box retailers run around $45 to $50. It has a nice matte finish which makes it look not cheap.

Apple homekit compatible. Single pole switch that can be used in circuits with a single switch typically controlling lights only. Still uses wifi and counts as a device to make sure your settings allows as many devices to connect to the router. Works ...  Read More

Super convenient to turn lights on and off even when not home. You can manually operate the switch but also have homekit operate it. This dimmer goes all the way to 1% of brightness with the homekit, which i really like!



Cons

It's annoying to keep buying junk. One switch sometimes works when you physically press the switch and sometimes doesn't.

Homekit itself is very glitchy and frequently any/all of your devices can show up as “device not responding”. It is right next to where our wifi router is and still no connection. Sometimes resetting/rebooting/power cycling them and repeating the setu...  Read More

With the app, you can even change the glowing icon's function.


Once installed, it works fine and the homekit support give siri a chance, but overall it just works and that’s the most importa...  Read More


That room had a lumary dimmer that i wasn't pleased with.


As for the product, i purchased it because i want my smart house set up exclusively with apple homekit.

Shipping


But they do work well at this point and response time is pretty fast.

Packaging/appearance


I'm super pleased and can't wait to get entirely into the homekit ecosystem.


That was made possible by one setting on the appletv.

Competitiveness


After installing them and setting up some automations, i ordered 3 more 3-way switches and 10 more single pole switches.


(it does include a snap-on no screw style cover as well, which i used in a location it was a standalone 1-gang outlet)would recommend.


One challenge i had is when i went to add it to my alexa setup (i'm keeping it until i can get a homepod mini) i had a great de...  Read More


In fact, i swapped out 2 koogeek switches in place of these as they are just more consistent.

    Not a downfall but a word of advice these don’t work if you have two switches that control one light


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The switch i replaced luckily still had the neutral wire accessible and there was enough room in the recessed housing


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Well it’s only of importance if you’d like to rely more on apple’s homekit system as the switch actually supports it

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I don’t know if this is common to smart switches but this switch fills the entire box and there is barely enough room for the wire nuts to fit in a standard electrical box


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I wound up as you can see from pictures having to put pigtails on each of the wires to get it all to fit and it still had to be forced in


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It would have been much better had the switch come with terminals instead of wires out the back


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Then i wouldn’t have needed as many wire caps
