Tried to kill me and burn down my house

The first installation went really well Easy to do, no problem. A week later I bought a second one - I went to install it and on the second I turned on the power, the fuse blew and I heard a loud bang from the bedroom. Returning to the box, I smell a strong odor of smoke and burn marks are visible on the shiny switch. There are pre-installed screws. Terrible design. I can only imagine that the arc occurred when the electric bolt almost touched the long bolt of the box. Now that they were both…

Unreliable and not that amazing when it works

After the initial install this worked for a little over a day and then just a black screen and the controls stopped working. After several emails a new panel was sent to customer service for replacement. This worked for about two weeks and then I had the same problem. It's quite a hassle to install and replace, and the thing is, it's incredibly unreliable. I spent $400 not being able to control my lights at all. If he worked for more than a day, he didn't really impress me. I activated it as an

After the last firmware updates. it's the winner

I use two of these panels along with 10 of their individual switch panels to control various lights and other smart home elements. There were some stability issues initially (I think due to the addition of individual switches), but after two updates they worked without issue for several weeks. Brilliant controls give you far more power and flexibility in controlling your lighting than any other option. . For example, you can directly control regular incandescent bulbs, LED bulbs, or even…

Pros
  • INTEGRATED SONOS, RING AND LOCK CONTROL: Now everyone in the house can easily view and play music with Sonos speakers, see who's at the door with the Ring Video Doorbell, and open the door with a compatible Smart Unlock lock - all without a phone.
Cons
  • So far so good

A tech tool I didn't know I needed!

This was a smart home article I didn't think I needed, but damn it's useful! I installed a three switch control panel on my porch so now it's a quick and easy place to check the weather, time and even the ring cameras before stepping out the door. Nice that there are dimmer switches. for those lights, and it's especially nice to be able to use Alexa control for everything. With two children it is very nice when my technique has a free hand. I see it as the perfect living room control center to…

Pros
  • EASY SMART HOME CONTROLS FOR EVERYONE: Beautiful touch panels with built-in Alexa make it easy for everyone in the house to control popular smart devices, lights, cameras, locks, thermostats, intercoms, scenes and more by simply swapping out a light switch.
