Review on Convenient Lighting Control: QIACHIP Remote Control Socket Adapter With ZigBee Technology For Alexa, SmartThings And More by Eric Webb

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect! and with a remote

The instructions are printed VERY small and lacking some info but the product works perfect.1. Download the eWeLink app. If you do not have Alexa app, download it too if you want to control it by voice.2. Make sure your phone is connnected to your 2.4Ghz network. (Just for the setup)3. Open the app and click to link to Alexa (if alexa installed)4. Screw the adapter to a powered socket (ON)5. Using a pen, click and hold for 5 secs the little green light led (Yes, its a button too) until it starts continuously blinking.6. On the eWeLink app press the "+" button and then the "Quick Pairing". The socket should show. You can rename it to something you prefer.7. To connect your remote, click on the socket device, then click on the three dots on the top right corner. Browse down and click on "eWeLink Remote". Click on the learning button and press the "1" button on the remote. Now you can go back or close the app. Thats it!TIP: If you want to still use the switch outlet as normal, go into the eWeLink app, click on the smart socket, then on the 3 dots on the top right and change the "Power on state" to "ON". But remember, if the switch is "OFF" then you cant control it using the app until is back on.
