Product Information

With the timing function, you can set your switch to turn your lights on and off automatically according to your schedule. You can create smart scenes, so one SONOFF device can turn another one on or off. This allows you to control multiple devices with just one tap. Signify’s Philips Hue bridge is another solution, but it’s generally limited to supporting Philips Hue smart bulbs and accessories. Zigbee is widely support among smart dimmer manufacturers, including Jasco, Sinopé, and Sengled. Lutron also makes an ingenious Zigbee gadget for Philips Hue smart bulbs— the Lutron Aurora—that attaches to an old-fashioned toggle light switch and not only prevents the switch from being turned off (instantly rendering a Philips Hue smart bulb dumb), but it wirelessly controls all the Hub bulbs connected to that switch—complete with a rotary knob for dimming and brightening those bulbs and turning them on or off. We love smart lighting systems here at TechRadar, but what if all you want is to add smartphone or voice assistant control to your existing lights? That’s where the Tapo Smart Switch comes in. This replaces your existing wall-mounted light switch with one that functions in just the same way, but can also be controlled by app and voice. Lutron's smart starter kit comes with one in-wall switch, one wireless remote and one smart bridge (hub), which can also be used to connect other Lutron products (such as its smart plugs and Serena smart shades) to the cloud and control them. I recently swapped over my office light with a Yagusmart single gang light switch which worked well once i change the DH to Zigbee Switch within ST.

Yes, but only some can. As you may have seen from the above products, some are designed to work only with certain smart lighting systems, like those by Wiz or Philips Hue. Others, however, like the Tapo Smart Switch by TP-Link, are designed to control your existing, non-smart lights. They replace your existing light switches and operate just like a manual switch, but with the added ability to be controlled remotely with a smartphone app, voice assistant, or pre-programmed schedule. Another switch from Philips Hue, but this time it’s the Smart Button. This one really doesn’t need much explaining, as it’s a button that is pretty smart and controls your Hue lights. You can assign two commands to the button, for a brief press and a long press, and that’s about it. As for wired smart switches, these require a basic understanding of home electrics. You’ll need to turn off the power at the fuse box, then remove your old switch, detach the wires and fit them to the smart switch. It’s all relatively simple, as long as you’re aware of which wire is which. Someone with basic DIY skills should be able to sway a regular wall switch for a smart one in just a few minutes. Are smart light switches battery powered? If you’d like the benefits of smart lighting without having to invest in smart bulbs, then smart light switches are the way to go. Smart switches are often bulkier than their traditional counterparts, however; so if they don't fit in the electrical box properly, you may need to get a new box, which is probably a job for an electrician. Similarly, some older homes don't have the right wiring, so an electrician is a good idea here, too. How we test smart light switches

Hi, been reading this thread with interest as i am new to the scene and it has become a bit of a hobby for me, but there seems to be a lot to learn First, you will want to make sure that the smart light switch works with your smart home's voice assistant. Many of these switches will work with the most popular assistants such as Alexa and Google Assistant, but compatibility isn't always across the board. In particular, Apple Homekit compatibility can be difficult to find, so if you use it, make sure your switch is compatible. A smart switch is a direct replacement for a traditional wall plate. Connected over your home WiFi network, smart switches allow you to make your home fully automated, controlling the lighting, fans and appliances remotely using the Grid Connect mobile app. They can be used to control any non-smart product you’d typically use switches for such as exhaust fans and lighting. What are the most common smart switch uses?

We've tested plenty of smart light switches and dimmers on the market, so we used our expertise to guide you through finding the best one for your needs. Our list should have something for different needs and budget. If you would like to keep your existing light switches, you can install a mini-relay behind the switch or above the light fixture, which you can then control via a smart hub. Brilliant’s touchscreen panel lets you see and talk with a person at your door when a visitor activates your Ring Video Doorbell. What makes smart light switches stand out is their remote control feature. Some smart light switches are Wifi controlled – allowing you to connect them to your home’s Wifi network. This means that you can then control them remotely using their proprietary app. Others work off Z-Wave or Zigbee protocols so you can integrate with a compatible smart hub. Depending on the light switch design and capacity, this feature doesn’t only allow you to remotely switch your lighting on and off. You can also use this feature to set up timing schedules and tailor your home lighting habits based on your needs. TechnologyElevate your home lighting with Lightwave Smart Dimmers.

The dimmer switch is compatible with dimmable LED bulbs and requires a Wi-Fi router with broadband internet connection. Now for something a bit different. The Bot by SwitchBot is a little gadget with a robotic arm designed to press (or pull) just about any button or switch around your home. It’s a little bit fiddly to set up, as the moving arm is quite small and you need to position it just right, but once you’ve put the effort in it works really well, at least on the standard single-gang light switch we tried it with. Smart light switches are a better option if you have lots of bulbs though or multiple rooms you want to control. They also tend to be much more cost efficient than splashing out for lots of smart light bulbs. Suitable for any new installations or smart home upgrades by replacing your existing light switches.
