Review on πŸ”˜ BroadLink Smart Button: 3 Way Dimmer Switch Control with IFTTT and Alexa, Wireless Home Automation Hub Included by Kevin Parker

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works like a motion sensor in Alexa - Wall Mount "Holster "

Worked great for me, the tips that others have given in the reviews are helpful. Discover devices in Alexa after pairing them using the Broadlink UNIVERSAL TV REMOTE app. Alexa Procedure Tip: You can set up multiple Alexa Procedures to be triggered by a single button (or motion detection). I wanted this because you can only have one custom action per Alexa procedure! I set up two procedures to trigger the same key. One routine with configurable "What is the temperature in (my sensor name)" and another routine with a 5 second wait followed by "What is the humidity in (my sensor name)". So clicking the button gives me both actions. *** BONUS: The toggle keys use Fastcon, which is Wi-Fi with some additional features. HOW DO THE BUTTONS WORK WITH MY WIFI NETWORK! I can use the buttons anywhere in the house, the grid works regardless of the distance to the Broadlink hub (which also connects via Wi-Fi).

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
