Smart Light Switch, WiFi Switch Touch Wall Switch 1 Gang, Compatible with Alexa Google Home

Just what I needed. Works great after setup.

I bought the two pack because I have a double-gang box at the front door. One switch controls the outside flood lights and the other an electrical outlet that turns a lamp on and off. I wanted to install them myself, but when I opened the electrical box and saw the dozens of wires, I decided that this was beyond my expertise (if it had been at another location in the house, I would have been able to do it). The electrician had no trouble installing them. He commented on how good looking they are and the fact that it's a touch sensitive switch with no moving parts. He connected both of them and we turned the electricity back on. They blinked just as the instructions said. I had previously installed and set up an account with Smart Life on my android phone. The switches were instantly recognized and I renamed them put in my router's password and finished the process. One reviewer complained that there were no instructions for Google Home or Alexa. This is NOT the fault of this manufacturer.... every smart Wi-Fi device that I've purchased leaves that setup instructions to Google or Alexa. I opened my Google Home account, allowed Home Life app complete access and the entire installation was completed in less than 30 minutes! The lights work great - I can control them by voice through Google Home, on my andoid phone, and by Internet on my laptop. I set schedules for them to come on at dusk and off at midnight. I especially like the blue backlights. It gives them a high-tech look. When the switch is turned on, the blue gets brighter. I would highly recommend these switches for anyone wanting to create a smart home through Wi-Fi. Though I used an electrician to install them, more simple electrical boxes have quite a few less wires than mine and can be installed by the user as long as you are comfortable with electrical connections. I always say, when in doubt, always have a professional do it.

I bought 2 of these. And the first one isntalled pretty easily. But why they use stranded wire for the neutral and ground extensions is beyond me. They don't want to stay in when screwed down. So you have to either solder them or play twist it to make it extra thick. My household wires (not stranded) tapped down very well and never game out. Now for the reason I'm upset. One of them the switch was in the package upside down. Immediately my spidey senses said....hmmmm...Did someone return this because it didn't work. And then I noticed the stickers for labeling my ground, live, neutral, and load wires were missing in that package. But I go and install them anyway. And sure enough one of them is simply broken. So now I have to uninstall it all and send back. Complete waste of my time for something they knew was going to happen. I understand cheap stuff from china will break. But they sold a used item to me as new. very unsat! now I have to do a return...unisntall...reinstall.

Okay... first I ordered the 2-gang version of this item in order to control both the bedroom light as well as the ceiling fan. The item arrived quicker than expected (about 16 hours from the time of the order... BRAVO Amazon!). That said, I am taking away one star simply because the instructions for installation and then for syncing the item to my network weren't exactly easy to follow. Now, having said that, I'll be the first to admit that when it comes to installing an electrical device of any kind (where I am the one having to play with wiring) I am not the brightest bulb in the box (pun intended). However, because I know that I don't know diddly about wiring, I must have very precise step-by-step (with pictures) instructions or I tend to be VERY overly cautious and thus end up reviewing multiple YouTube instructional videos to make sure that I have it down pat before I even pick up the screwdriver. Anyway... the installation itself took me approx. an hour. Then the registration, account setup and syncing took me another hour due to the fact that I was having trouble getting the switch to find and sync with my network. Well... eventually I won and the switch admitted defeat and now everything works as expected. I had no problems whatsoever linking my Alexa App to the product's app and then being able to use Alexa to turn on and off both the light and the ceiling fan. I'll be adding a routine via Alexa, which will now turn off the light, turn on the ceiling fan, adjust the volume to 4 and start my sleeping music after I give the command, "Alexa, Good night." I've included two photos (one with the lights on and the other with them off) so that you might see the difference and the brightness of the switch. Yes, there is always light coming from the switch and as far as I can tell, there is no way to turn this off. I would and will recommend this switch to family and friends who are looking to trade in their standard 2-gang switch for a "Smart" version. UPDATE (09/16/2021): Since the initial review, I have purchased a total of 5 more of these switches. All are installed and working well. One of the switches was a little more difficult to setup, but when I used the "ap mode" to setup the switch with the network, everything worked flawlessly. I can't recommend these enough. Great product!

I brought this switch back in September 2019 and it worked great with Alex I was able to use it with Alex routines so I decided to buy another set of switches to control my porch lights January 10th 2020 after installing when I went to the Smart Life app to register the devices my account was gone which I found strange so I set it up again and had to reregister my old and new switch and since I have not be able to use with Alex. The Smart Life skill doesn't work, it doesn't discover the devices and the only way you can control it is through the Smart Life app. This really sucks. So if you plan to purchase and use with Alex don't there are other reliable brands out there. [UPDATE] So the lack of instructions was my downfall this switch is great once you figure out how to get it connected to Alexa. So instead of just using the Alex skill to the switch you have to sign into your Amazon account through the Smart Life app. Once you do that it all works great.

Purchased these switches to replace the ones I had (they had been recalled). The installation was fairly simple. However these are bulky and you have to ensure that you have the space in the electrical box, especially if you have several wires and connectors in the box. Also, I was a bit concerned about the four connection screws on top of the switch which, once installed, were very close to the electrical box. I just put some electrical tape across the top four screws to prevent any potential contact to the electrical box. For the app and WIFI connection, it was a breeze, Make sure you install the correct app (Smart Life) first. Scanning the QR code from the instruction pamphlet will bring you automatically to the correct app for the installation. Once the app is installed you simply choose add device (in the app) and then you simply long touch (not press) the middle button of the switch until the WIFI flashes. Once this happens, the app will detect the switch and you proceed in choosing your router name and password. Just make sure you enter this information correctly (I made a typo mistake on my first try). The rest is up to your choice (turning on/off or choosing timer options) My primary reason for having these WIFI switches is the ability to use the sunset feature to turn the outside lights on. This is, by far, the most useful feature. While turning your lights on/off remotely with the phone or with Google Assistant is kind of cool, it's not something you would regularly use (unless the lights are somewhere inside the house where remote functions could be usefull - maybe by turning lights on/off for watching a movie). I would have thought that the sunset feature would have been in the timer funtions, however this was not the case. It took me a while to find that the sunset feature was in the SCENES option. For my use, I only needed the sunset feature to turn my lights on and a timer setting to turn them off at 11 PM, So far everything is working perfectly.

just installed the double gang switch. don't know the quality yet. the screwless plate design is quite nice, the pin holes ensure the two switches are nicely aligned. the cover plate is shiny; it looks very clean with the touch glass panel on the switches. unlike most of WIFI switches, the wires are not pre-installed and fixed with the body, rather external wires can be screwed on the contact points. however, if the wires are thick, the screw will not go deep, and will extrude and make it possible to touch electrical box, so must wrap the screws with electric tapes. Good product, hope it last.

I installed these in the fall on 2018 now it’s the fall of 2020. Going by memory the instructions were poorly written if you fallow them you made a short circuit and if you install them in an old house tape up the screws cause they may touch the box and short out. Have three for outside light two work great. Now the third one is a pain it keep going off line. The only way to install it again on the network is to uninstall then reinstall and the last time it won’t connect and it is only about 50 feet away from router. So in most cases I would say they work petty good. I also had a problem with one other dropping off now both of these switches are in the garage and this one only had this problem once in the winter of 2019 since then it’s work perfect. Now to be fair on this review the one switch that will not connect it has some tools close to it as it is mounted behind a shelf so the back and forward between the switch and router could be interrupted by the metal in the tools. But the switch does have a clear site as the wooden shelf has no back where the switch is. So in the most part I would recommend these for a newer home as the boxes are a little bigger but they do work in older one just tape the screws. So I hope this is helpful.Now Oct 31/21 and the temp drop to around 0 c 32f and the switch for the patio stop working again [switch was located in the garage with temp turned down but they still should work]. I just replaced it with the one I took out. Two out of four work some what I will be replacing them.I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THESE SWITCHES. BUT TO BE FAIR THEY WERE FIRST GENERATION SWITCHES MAYBE THE NEW ONES WORK BETTER THAN THE OLDER ONE.

Excellent product. Prompt delivery. Easy to install. Good quality. Easy to integrate with Google Home. I have had experience with several ‘smart home’ products. This WiFi switch has set the bar for ease of installation and integration. Only one minor complaint. The ‘jumper’ wires that are included could be a heavier gauge in order to get secure connection to the terminal block on the switch.
