Review on Smart home kit Legrand starting Valena Life with NETATMO (aluminum) by Jnis Ginters ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A great option for this money, one of the best offers.

The ecosystem has two advantages, the form factor of ordinary sockets and switches can be installed together with ordinary ones if you already have ready-made solutions, and the line is also compatible with non-smart devices in the series. The second is a built-in dimmer, which does not visually distinguish the switch from the rest, unlike most other solutions for the Alice ecosystem. The biggest downside is the price. It is simply not real against the background of competitors. But on the other hand, if you have three switches at the entrance to the room, there is no other solution.

Pros
  • Very easy to connect, fits in a standard socket, nice design, clear setting in the application.
Cons
  • When the light is turned off, you need to reconnect to the hub, while all settings are saved, the main switch that comes with Alice does not work, but is necessary to connect new devices to the hub, control of sockets and switches through Alice works, even the lighting level works. Yes, there is a very long delay for the switches to operate in the native application.
