> 3 dayI did not install this myself but that had nothing to do with the switch, just the way the wires in my house were set up. I had someone install for me. Works great but connecting to the wifi needed some troubleshooting. Since the switch only recognize 2.4 ghz signal, I had trouble getting it to connect since my wifi ran 2.4 and 5 ghz together. I ended up having to rename the 5ghz wifi which att helped me with. It was not difficult. By that time I had already added the Alexa skill for Smart Life. Once I could differentiate between the 2.4 and 5 signals, it was very easy getting it set up. Just connect your phone to the 2.4 wifi. Everything works great now and the lights look pretty cool. Having a push button rather than a switch is cool. So not a smooth process but now I know and anything else I add will be easier.

> 3 dayOrdered this to update my old analog timer switch, was looking for something I could control with my phone, Alexa, and do some home automation. This arrived on time and packaged very well. Install was easy, and pretty straightforward, connecting to the app was easy following the steps. I would give five stars but my only complaint is I had to drill out the mounting holes a bit with my Dremel to make this sit within a double gang box correctly. The holes should be a little bigger to allow more adjustment when putting in more than just a single box. If I was putting this in a single gang box it would have been fine.

> 3 dayThe store was not to cooperative as these are only listed on the USA (.com) indicates on Canada (.ca)site in a month. Store said order it on .com. So you will pay duty. The switch is made of plastic including the mounting portion of the switch so don’t tighten to tight or it will crack. Also switch is slightly larger then cover plate. So have file the cover plate. Switch requires a hard push for the switch to operate and must be pressed on the power light. . Works with smart Life, Alexa and google home. Switch mounting holes are one horizontal one vertical so can not adjust so it fits in the cover plate with mutable switches.

17-12-2024It just stopped connecting to wifi. I cant access the switch to schedule when to turn on/off. This is the main purpose why I purchased this item. Stopped working after just a lik bit over a year. No tech support available to contact. Now Im back to manually turning our porch lights on/off again.

> 3 dayThe product is well made and works great, but the jumper wires that come with the product is the wrong kind of jumper wires. The wires should be a solid wire not a shredded wire. The reason: when the jumper wire is placed into wifi plug, the set screws will not tighten down on the shredded wires enough to hold it securely. In the photo, the jumper wire is the shredded wire the other wire is a solid wire.

> 3 dayThis light switch was easy to install but not because of the instructions. With some prep work on YouTube was able to figure everything out. Absolutely must check your house wiring before you even purchase it. Make sure you have a neutral line. Hold down the power button for about 5 seconds after it’s installed, that’s when the light for the WiFi begins to blink. Use the app to add it and In my case Alexa found it as soon as I added it to the SmartLife App. Works perfectly, I am very satisfied. Already ordered a couple of more and once those are in a final round to finish my entire house with these light switches. Would like to see one without any WiFi features because in my home multiple switches control the same light and would like to change those to have an uniform look.

> 3 dayLove our smart switches. Technology is amazing! We bought one 2 gang. The kitchen area has two entries, yet only a light switch on one side. One switch controls the 4 bar lights, which we kept separate. The other switch controls 6 can lights. Using one of the gangs in our kitchen, we can now simply ask Alexa to turn on the kitchen when we find ourselves working in the dark. The second gang we put in the garage to control our outside lights. Now when my husband comes home in the dark, I simply ask Alexa to turn on garage lights, plus we can turn them on when were out together. Easy to install, easy to operate.

> 3 dayWe feel so much safer being able to control our lighting with Alexa no matter where we are. The face itself is a touchplate you can turn on and off with a light tap. However, this was incredibly difficult to install. Im sure its because we we were switching out standard plates/wiring in an older home. If you will be doing the same, you will need a larger electric box to hold this. Otherwise great upgrade for any home.

> 3 dayI was going to buy more until you guys added the ugly screws. That’s just greedy. You did it so ppl would spend more money.

> 3 dayIn the process of changing out my traditional light switches with smart switches i have purchased some other brands but this switch seemed of higher quality. instructions were clear and the installation was easy. Connects quickly to my network (I use the smart life app and google home) and looks great I would highly recommend, and will look purchase additional switches from this company
