Good product good for me

This switch was easy to install and works quite well. There are two things I don't care for though. When I bought it, there was only one color offered. The second is that I can't get it to automate as well as my switches that work with the Apple Home Kit. With those, I can tell them to turn on at sun set +/- a given number of minutes. Then, as the season changes, the time the lights automatically come on changes also. With this system, I have to keep going into the system and reprograming it…

Pros
  • ‎Wall Mount
Cons
  • May be too bulky for some switch boxes

It works but has some rough edges

First off, this thing works and is very reasonably priced. However, if I was going to add another smart switch I would shop around. A couple of complaints:- The faceplate nearly made me lose my mind. I spent 30 minutes (seriously!) moving the switch closer and further from the wall trying to get the snaps to engage, but they refused to clip on. In the end I used tape to secure it.- The app is a bit confusing. The English translation is terrible. For example: there were two buttons I needed to…

Pros
  • ‎1-way
Cons
  • May not be as durable as traditional light switches

First one was bad, second times a charm

Now that I received my replacement unit, it works great. The service was excellent and the replacement arrived quickly. I will buy more of these. Here is my original angry review below from before I received the working replacement.OLD review on defective unit "I followed the instructions and installed the unit carefully. Everything appears to function properly including the indicator LEDs but the unit does not change the brightness of the lights even a tiny bit, not at all. I use dimmable LEDs

Pros
  • ‎150 watts
Cons
  • May interfere with other smart home devices

Stopped working few months short of two years.

The warranty might be one year. Less than two years it is completely dead. Worked fine until dead. Cannot find the manufacturer contact info and if they can replace. Revain just said contact the seller. I have few more at that time and if they all start failing it is very expensive and not worth the smart switch convenience if they don't work after few months.

Pros
  • Intuitive and user-friendly interface for easy control
Cons
  • May not work as well in areas with spotty Wi-Fi

Awesome So Far! Built in "Fade " Feature Would Be Nice.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I ordered this switch. This is my first time doing anything with smart lighting. I have been looking for a cheap, "smart" dimmer switch for a while, so when I saw this and all the positive reviews I decided to give it a try. So far, I have REALLY liked the switch. After a quick install I had no trouble getting the app connected to the switch and getting my Google Home gear to start controlling it. I have only been using the switch for a few days, but I have not

Pros
  • ‎120 Volts
Cons
  • May not be compatible with all home wiring configurations

The videos on this product helped make for a easy install

I am not an electrician but I can install a ceiling fan a light switch a receptacle a breaker without too much of any problems. My lack of knowledge of how the different types of wiring 4 light switches made it to where I had to take the existing switch pull it out with wires intact and take a photo and went to Lowe's to ask my go-to guy in electrical department if this which would work for this the switch I'm was going to replace. He looked at the product with the diagram from Revain of the…

Great switch - easy to use

This switch works great. I love the amount of dimness you get out of it. I paired it with some LED ceiling can lights and its amazing. We hooked it up with Google and you can control it with your voice from the couch, or when you walk in the door. You can set it to turn on at certain times or on your way home as well. It has worked out great for us and wouldn't hesitate to buy another. Getting it to work with Google was a breeze as Im sure it would be with Alexa.One very small thing we noticed,

Pros
  • High-quality components guarantee top-notch performance
Cons
  • May not be as durable as traditional light switches

Easy install, but. - my new review

I will start off with the positives, because there are quite a few. The packaging is solid, instructions clear, wiring simple, and alexa pairing through the Smart Life app was flawless. I must say that the dimmer functionality is a bit frustrating, which admittedly I have found with other brands as well. Full brightness is BRIGHT!. but in order to truly dim the lights, you need to tell Alexa to set the lights to like 1%. Even 10% or 20% brightness is not a true 10%-20%. I would expect a "smart"

Pros
  • Ideal for those with mobility issues and disabilities
Cons
  • May have limited support for multilingual homes

Great Smart switch for the Price!

I replaced a old circular dimmer switch with this one. It works great. Connected and works with the "Smart Life App" with no issues. Good options and interface. I was able to set it up on my Revain echo's. I would say the most difficult part about installing this switch was finding the correct breaker to kill the power to the switch before I installed it. I will say that the switch does require a couple of extra wires so if you do not have experience replacing something like this you might want

Pros
  • Neutral wire compatibility ensures optimal functionality
Cons
  • May not be compatible with all light fixtures
