Smart Switch 2.4GHz WiFi Light Switch 2Pack Compatible with Alexa and Google Home, Single Pole, Needs Neutral Wire (Black)

Alexa, Turn On Bathroom Fan
I very rarely give any product five stars, much less ones from some no-name importer of nondescript Chinese products. But this dual WiFi wall switch deserves every star. I was easy to install, connected instantly to my WiFi and Alexa, and has worked flawlessly since installation. And, it looks good too! I have to admit I have a strange predilection for blue LEDs. The only issue with installation is that the switches are bulkier than normal switches so the electrical box gets a bit cramped.The switches use a generic smart home app from a company called Tuya. The app, which I already had been using for some smart wall socket switches (from yet another anonymous importer of Chinese goods) recognized my new switches without a problem. There are actually two apps from Tuya Smart that look slightly different with slightly different names, but seem to work the same way. Likewise with the Alexa skills: two different ones, but it doesn’t seem to matter which one you use. Once connected I was able to ask Alexa to turn on/off my bathroom light, turn on/off my bathroom fan, or simply, turn on the bathroom.Just don’t expect any kind of support from any kind of company: even a google search came up empty (if I remember correctly, I was pointed to some French company that doesn’t seem to have any contact info). And Tuya is just a 3rd party app maker that multiple makers of smart home tech uses. Luckily, I haven’t had the need for any support for these very reliable switches; but I was hoping for a larger print instruction manual (the print on those things are getting smaller at the same pace my aging eyes are failing me). So, I highly recommend this product.

Works well, install easy, wire connectors are crap
Other products have wire pigtails. This switch has tiny screws that are supposed to make good contact with wire you put in the hole. Really small amount of contact possible. They will pop out when you try to put the switch back in the wall box. Scary

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.

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.
