BSEED Smart Light Switch,Compatible with Alexa and Google Home,2 Gang 1 Way WiFi Touch Switch,2 Way or Multi-Way Control by SmartLife APP,Black Alexa Switch with LED Indicator Light-Neutral Wire Need

Couple of points :Firstly if you're not electrically skilled please seek advice before installing this.Secondly I see this time and time again - if you do not have a neutral wire terminated in your light switch this switch will not work !Thirdly the switch itself is fairly deep and you may need a spacer around the switch if you cannot replace the back box.I already had a Wifi dimmer light switch which works really well with Alexa and the Smart Life app. I hadnt tried this brand before and generally expectations of stuff like this is that they can be difficult to set up and instructions are poor - not so here all worked like a dream.Installed 2 switches in my Daughters redecorated room. First one was 1 gang 1 way replacement for a single way switch. Straight forward wire swap and connect to neutral. Powered up and switch worked ok with touch on and off. Then pressed and held for 3 secs and red light blinks, opened smart life app and connected to 2.4 Ghz WiFi network (doesn't work on 5 Ghz). Smart life app found the switch immediately and asked for my WiFi password. It was connected within less than a minute. I got a notification on my phone from the Alexa app saying a new device had been set up in Smart Life (nice !). I could work the device immediately from Alexa but I went in to change the name of the device.I set up the second device in the same way but this was slightly more complicated electrically because it was a 2 way switch. This is where novices should seek help (or watch you tube but I didnt say that !) I identified the live supply and the switched live to the light . I then discarded all the 2 way switching wires by coiling them up in the switch box. I then connected the neutral. With so much wiring the back of the box, depth was limited and I ordered a 10mm spacer to space the light switch off the wall. Set up was then as simple as for the previous unit.These switches operate 2 banks of down lighters in the same room. from 2 locations. Once set up in the app I was then able to group them into a room and gave the room a name (lets just say Fred). I could then say to Alexa turn Freds room lights on or off and it would operate both. I could also say turn on light one or turn on light two to switch the banks on individually. My daughter is very pleased with her new lights and bluetooth speakers in the ceiling which also connect to Alexa - all from Amazon :-)

I found it quick and easy to install. It works perfectly and looks great, BUT, if you have one of the shallow back boxes on your existing switch it will not fit in that space.Also be aware you will need to put the included little gadget across the lamp itself or the switch will not work.

The instructions were not clear regarding the metal plate fitment. The back unit for the wiring goes through the metal plate first from the front of the plate. The rear of the plate has the "CE" and "RoHS" logo on the corner. Then do the wiring.When fixing to the back box, ensure the top edge of the metal plate is above the back box recess so the front glass plate can clip on properly.Only with the glass plate attached does it start flashing for the WiFi connection.Remember, if your WiFi name is shared for both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bands then you need to switch off 5Ghz temporarily so this device can connect to 2.4Ghz. Once connected you should be able to turn 5Ghz back on and unit should still function.I use separate Wifi names for 2.4Ghz and 5 so was easier to connect.I used the Smart Life app. Whilst the leds on the unit were flashing rapidly, the Smart life app found the new device automatically. You can try adding it manually if it does not find it by itself.As my Smartlife app was already linked to my Alexa account, Alexa then found this device automatically too.I prefer to use the Alexa app for device automations such as turning this devices switch for a light to come on automatically at dusk and turn it off at specific time.

I started installing this switch at 6am thinking it would be a quick 10-minute job. It’s now almost 1pm and I’m exhausted. The wiring is straightforward, but the real problem starts when you try to put the glass panel back on. The touch function simply doesn’t work once the glass is in place. You have to press directly on the bare sensor to get any response. The moment the glass is mounted, the switch becomes completely unresponsive.I tried everything: aligning the panel carefully, adding thin padding, adjusting the module position, even taping things behind the glass to improve contact. Nothing worked. It’s clearly a design flaw — either the sensor is too weak, or the glass is too thick, or both.To make matters worse, there’s this little yellow capacitor you’re supposed to install in the ceiling (?!), which is nearly impossible in modern houses with recessed lights and no ceiling access. And no, it doesn’t help the touch issue — it’s just another part of this unnecessarily frustrating experience.In short:⚠️ Looks nice, works terribly.⚠️ Do not buy unless you’re ready to spend hours problem-solving basic functionality.⚠️ Avoid. There are much better smart switches out there.

My bedroom light switch has no neutral wire and I wanted to install a smart switch that I could use with Alexa instead of spending £1,000,000 (ok, I exaggerate a little) on GU10 smart bulbs.This switch was advertised as not requiring a neutral wire and although it does indeed work with a neutral wire I can confirm it is running perfectly fine without one. The instructions take you through the added requirement of installing a capacitor on the light across the switched power and the neutral wires.I followed the instructions carefully, including switching the power off at the circuit board first and everything went according to plan.Installing the app was easy, yes I had to set-up an account on the app which some will not like but I'm accepting of this requirement. I then linked it to Alexa without issue. The light switch is illuminated and I like the fact I can toggle that illumination on or off when the switch is off, therefore I am not disturbed by the illumination when the room is dark.
