Review on πŸ”Œ GE myTouchSmart WiFi Smart Light Dimmer: Works with Alexa & Google Assistant, No Hub Required by Deon Sweeney

Not like other GE Smart Switches

I really like other GE Smart Switches. So much so that almost every single light switch in my house has been replaced. The only ones I was looking forward to were 3 position switches as they are a bit more complex and require the purchase of two switches. This one specifically advertised on the box that it didn't need an extra switch, so I was excited to try it out. Well, it's technically correct that the light works without the extra switch, but if someone accidentally presses the second switch, the light stops working. Additionally, it will no longer physically function as a three-position switch - the light can only be physically turned on and off with a smart switch or smart home system. I also can't connect it to Wink like the rest of my GE lights. I had to install a new app and can only control it through it, which is frustrating when all my other lights are connected to my wink hub. Overall I am very dissatisfied with this lamp. I'll see if I can find an extra switch to at least restore the physical ability to reuse the light from both switches, but I might just choose to remove it entirely.
