Overview
Not a dimmer or a multi-way switch, this smart switch replaces a single pole wall switch and connects over Wi-Fi without a hub. Voice control and schedules run through Alexa, and wiring lands on screw terminals.
The reason to buy is simple Alexa control for an ordinary light without extra hardware. The limitation is that it works with Alexa only and covers single pole circuits only.
Who it's for
An Alexa household upgrading a hallway or bedroom switch with ordinary wiring. A homeowner using other voice assistants or a multi-location circuit should buy a different switch.
Pros and cons
- No hub needed
- Voice and schedule control
- ETL specification met
- Single pole circuits only
- 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only
- Listing includes only the switch
Performance notes
The switch joins the home network over Wi-Fi and responds to Alexa commands and set schedules. Because the wall box needs to house the switch, installation depends on clearance and on a neutral being available, which the listing does not state.
