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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Awesome So Far! Built in "Fade " Feature Would Be Nice.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I ordered this switch. This is my first time doing anything with smart lighting. I have been looking for a cheap, "smart" dimmer switch for a while, so when I saw this and all the positive reviews I decided to give it a try. So far, I have REALLY liked the switch. After a quick install I had no trouble getting the app connected to the switch and getting my Google Home gear to start controlling it. I have only been using the switch for a few days, but I have not had a single issue with it disconnecting from wifi. I installed this switch in my bedroom, and I love that I can dim the lights with my voice as I am getting ready for bed, and I can program the lights to slowly fade on in the morning to wake us up. I only gave the switch 4 stars because I couldn't find an easy way in the app to setup that slow fade-on in the morning. I had to manually make a 50-ish step "Automation" in the app to increase the lights by 1% every 30 seconds. It would be really nice if it had a built in feature to - increase/decrease lights from X% to Y% over 20 minutes, or something like that. Other than that I was pretty impressed at how robust the app is.
