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

After wiring these switches up, I tried to put the first one in to wifi setup mode. At first, it looked like a fast blink, but it just never got picked up by the Smart Life app. I also could not see a new MAC/IP address on my router (it does 2.4 and 5.0Ghz and has different names for each SSID). Also, the light it was controlling would just turn off after 3-4 seconds. Thats when I noticed it was flashing a blink code. Im not positive, but I think it was 7-6-4-3. I reached out to the email address mentioned in many of the other reviews, and while they did respond, they just kept telling me to read all of the instructions. This went back and forth a few times, and finally I just ordered two of the Martin Jerry smart switches. I have 5 of their wall plugs, and they all work great. After connecting the Martin Jerry switches, they just worked and setup was as easy as these should have been since they both use the Smart Life app. There was nothing wrong with my wiring or my network. These switches are KS-602. There is zero info on google about any blink codes, but there does seem to be a website that has people discussing flashing them with their custom firmware. Interesting hobby idea, but thats not for me. Also, I was only finding one other switch that came in a 2 gang kit (it is a KS-602s - I didnt want to risk it), so all I had to do was go buy a new face plate for the Martin Jerry switches. Other people on here are giving these switches 4 and 5 stars, so they must work, but somehow I got two duds. Its not the end of the world, but the amount of time I had to spend assuring Lulu with their support was excessive and a bit aggravating due to what I assume is a language difference. If you work with them, be patient. I did feel like they were genuinely trying to help.

Very easy to install and link to Alexa with general electrical knowledge. Save on electric with routines or timers set up.

After using this for a day or two, I realized its not perfect. The pretty blue light is a nightmare at night. I finally had to take some dark colored duck tape and tape both sides under the face plate just so I could sleep. I still love it and it still works even with the duck tape but something has to be done about the light. Maybe it could go way dark, as in almost invisible in the dark and remain brightly lit during daylight hours, like a solar light in reverse? Previous review: I love this thing! I can now tell Alexa to turn off my ceiling fan when I get cold in the middle of the night and never leave my bed. Plus, I didnt have to disassemble my fan to install a remote sensor. I installed this wall switch in about 45 minutes. It only took me that long because I had to google some of the terms to make sure I was doing it right. The instructions the seller sent by email when I ordered it were more helpful than the ones that came with it, especially the wiring diagram. And yes, I have two wifi plugs. I also have a motion sensored light switch in my laundry room. I installed it several years ago when my elderly mother moved in with me. I didnt want her stumbling around in a dark room and fall while looking for the light switch. I am a 68-year old woman who has never had any instruction in construction. Aint technology grand! Have no idea how long this thing will last since my house is susceptible to electrical surges but Im loving it now and will probably replace it when the lightning gets it. And hopefully, I can buy some more for other switches. All hail, Alexa! One thing, this double switch actually fits in the electrical box. The first one I bought did not even though it was advertised as such. Make sure you look at the photos and read the descriptions to be certain its going to fit in the box where you plan to install it. Plus, no grimy fingerprints; just wipe them off!

Love these switches. I am not an electrician but a really good DIY guy. I was able to install this quickly once I learned about the Neutral wire that should be in all new houses. Cant define new but my house was built in 2017. Anyway, the instructions are straighforward once you know how to find the netural, which should be the white wire bundle stuck in each wall recepticle. Review the instructions to see how you add a connection to the neutral wire and it is done. If you know all of this, and have a 12 awg wire to connect to the neutral wire, the install is about 10 mins. (Perhaps you can tell I did not know what the neutral wire was and it took me some time to understand how electricity flows in a house. I leaner a bunch!!). These switches are fun to use with Alexa and the Smarthings app.

This product was a little rough to install but overall loved the look and functionality. However we have only had it installed for 3 months and the button for one of the switches is falling off and will not reattach.

easy to install and works with alexa

Like most others for some reason the switches won’t connect after a year of ownership. At some point we lost power and literally every other smart device in my home reconnected except the switches. Smart life nor Alexa can detect the devices anymore. The switch is basically useless as a smart device. Update fixed issue: if you have a 5g router you need to switch it to 2.4 in order to reconfigure the setup again. Figure it out with my new xfinity router.

Just installed one purchased earlier for Christmas lights. Plan to use it as timer. The switch install is not that difficult if you have the basic knowledge of circuits. The original wires that come with switch look too thin to me. If you plan to use wire nuts, this could be potential safety issue, so I replaced them with common 12 gauge wires. The instructions for device pairing is really not good at all. Looks like either instructions have not been updated, or just poorly written for something else, not for the smart switch. If you have some knowledge about wifi and device pairing, you probably could figure it out through trial and error. They should really update the setup instructions, especially they seem to have quite a lot of different types of smart devices. Not having accurate instructions causes confusions and frustrations, which you can feel reading previous reviews. App UI design is good, clear to follow. A few tips. When you pair it the first time, either power cycle as per instructions, or just hold the power button long enough until you see the wifi indicator flashes. Then follow instructions on the app to complete. Process is basic the same if you want to erase and reset the switch, except you don’t need to input info in the app if you have created an account. App will find the device, and you just need to go through the setup and make necessary modifications.

Bought this for my kitchen -- over sink and main kitchen light. An electrician installed, and I said I would take care of the wifi part. This one was a different brand than Id previously purchased. After multiple tech support (Amazon) chats, multiple App downloads, I still couldnt get it to connect to my wifi. I gave up for a month. Retackled it today after reading another review which mentioned a different app. Downloaded that, reset the switch, and was finally able to get connected and get Alexa to turn my lights off and on. Interestingly enough -- when I connected to Alexa, both apps showed up (Smart Home and Turo). So, YAY. Electrician had no problems with install and now that its working, I love it -- the same as all my other Alexa controlled items :D.

Installed with no difficulty. Downloaded app. Went through complex programming; guidance available only in app and very awkward. Worked manually and through scheduled on and off for a few days. Then scheduled functions did not occur. Still worked manually and showed operation to be scheduled but all failed to occur. Repeated app download and set up several times, still no response to scheduled events. Removed and replaced with KASA.
