> 3 dayBought the switch for a ceiling fan. Before I installed it all the way, I just dangled the switch off the proper wires. I downloaded the app for it, Smart Life. Tried one, then the other switch (At one point I had the output routed to the input and I thought maybe I blew the switch). Neither one could be recognised. I read the review saying to trash the directions, instead press front button for 10 seconds, release for 1 beat and repress for 5 more seconds to get it to work. We were on the same 2.4 gz. network, tried on my Android and wifes Iphone. Two DAYS we tried; we got fast blinks, slow green blinks, red and green blinking, red steady light, etc. You name it, we experienced it. The TWO sections of a total of 140 words that tell you how to get the software installed is about the WORST set of directions, EVER. Got nowhere. Then I read the review that said to download the TuyaSmart app. It is, basically, THE SAME APP! Except this one worked in like 5 seconds. Seriously, after all the hassles I thought, Well, this bombed on me too only to be astonished it said that it had worked and accepted the switch. Then we took the working switch temporarily down as we had to wire the fan up. In the course of events, I mixed up the switch I KNEW worked with one not yet installed. I wasnt positive they were swapped, mind you, so we proceeded anyway. Guess what? It was NOT the first switch. The other switch set up in like 4 seconds though! It works like a charm. The signal penetrates even under the canopy (which was a squeeze, but there was enough room). We got it up, my phone switched on fan, previously configured smart bulbs on the fans light kit turned on as when we asked them to. Then they turned off. . But, when the fan stopped via the wi-fi switch, I realized that to get the switch on again for the LIGHTS to be able to work, I would also end up turning the fan back on. My goal was to make both the fan and the light work via voice control (or phone!) A rather simple fix, I will just rewire the fans lights to they can come on when the switch is on via voice by bypassing the wi-fi switch and just allow the switch to work the fan. Under this scenario the wall switch stays on all the time. The lights have their own built in Alexa switch! Home automation IS NOT easy, but it is challenging and with each new device wired for voice, I get a little closer to my goal of 100% automation.

> 3 dayI originally bought these to set up an IFTTT routine, when I turn on one switch two of these come on as well. This work GREAT for almost two years. Now SmartThings (the software that controls the switch) has decided to no longer work with IFTTT, their help section says; Were sorry we are no longer working with IFTTT, please use our ap instead and you cant add external devices.... Smart devices are supposed to work TOGETHER that is the whole idea of connected home! Great switch RUBBISH company!

Greater than one weekOnce I actually followed the directions to the T. it works like a charm. You have to make sure you are using the 2.4GHZ setting on the modem and it works perfectly. Initially it was attempting to connect to a 5.0 GHZ signal and it failed every time. Has been working daily now with no issues for over a month now!!

Greater than one weekBecause I planned to use my unit in multiple locations I decided to mount it in a project box to avoid over stressing the pigtail leads. Now I can just plug it into any appliance or light and switch it from one light to another. The box prevents my grand kids from fooling with wires also. I downloaded the software and it installed without a hitch and it works perfectly every time.

Greater than one weekI live in a 100-year-old home we have some new wiring where the voice control switches work. I had given up on the old to wire lights, but these little switches I have turned my entire home into voice control! They’re easy to install and two pair with my current Alexa system

Greater than one weekHad to try several times to get it to hook up to my Wi-Fi but finally got it working. So far, seems to be stable and works with the App and Alexa.
