Review on 🔘 BroadLink Smart Button: 3 Way Dimmer Switch Control with IFTTT and Alexa, Wireless Home Automation Hub Included by Ronnie Staver

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Too unreliable Best in Electric

While these buttons had a lot of potential, they proved to be very unreliable. They worked for a while, even a few days, and then shut down. Reset, uninstall, reinstall, you jump through hoops to get it working again. This seems to be a fairly common issue, Broadlink should address this issue before I purchase any more of their products. To update; If you have trouble reconnecting, just quickly press one of the buttons several times. This method works every time. Yolink makes a button called Flex that's smaller and has four buttons with dual functions, both short press and long press, for a total of eight functions. It's also only $25 and has an extended range of about 1,000 feet plus two years of battery life.

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Periodicity
