Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

    Beware it is the s31 lite which means it will not do any power monitoring for you


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    In the ewelink app it will look like any nonpower monitoring switch you may have like an s20 or s26


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The item description says s31 lite the lite is only a switch than can be controlled by local switch cell phone app or home automation alexa google home etc
