Review on TESSAN Smart Dimmer Switch: Alexa And Google Assistant Compatible, Programmable Timer And Single-Pole, Neutral Wire Required For Customizable Lighting Experience by Travis Vasquez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Easy install, but. - my new review

I will start off with the positives, because there are quite a few. The packaging is solid, instructions clear, wiring simple, and alexa pairing through the Smart Life app was flawless. I must say that the dimmer functionality is a bit frustrating, which admittedly I have found with other brands as well. Full brightness is BRIGHT!. but in order to truly dim the lights, you need to tell Alexa to set the lights to like 1%. Even 10% or 20% brightness is not a true 10%-20%. I would expect a "smart" dimmer to have real variable dimming, and this does not. My original (analog) dimmer switch was much better in this respect. Overall I'm happy though so I will keep.

Pros
  • Ideal for those with mobility issues and disabilities
Cons
  • May have limited support for multilingual homes
