Smart Switch,LYASI Wi-Fi Light Switch In-wall Compatible with Alexa and Google Home,Remove Control Your Fixtures From Anywhere,Timing Function,No Hub Required (Smart Light Switch-2 Gang)

First the good... The switch is attractive. I like the blue lighted touch panel. Looks great on the wall and adds an obvious hint to visitors that there's something smarter about this switch. Coolness effect is a solid 8. Secondly, the switch was super easy to install. I have actually never installed even a basic house light switch before in my life and was able to figure this out... not without cautious study though. I pulled up a wiring video on YouTube and figured it out. Worked the first time, no issues. I really like the easy wire application on the back on these switches; Just insert the wire in the hole and turn the screw to tighten it up. 10 points for easy setup. The included instructions are easy to read and have a nice diagram. The only minor complaint I have there is that the included diagram is for a single switch not a double switch.Next positive... it works beautifully. No problems at all. Pressing the button quickly turns on the lights and the WiFi response is also adequate. This is a quality product that does the job nicely.Now for the negative... The switch panel is not a full touch area... You have to precisely press the light bulb logo in the middle of the switch, which makes for easy misses when trying to turn on the lights by the switch in a hurry.Second complaint is the pairing process. I have a modern Asus router that features adaptive bandwidth, including both 2.4G and 5G. With virtually every other device I have used, even ones that require only 2.4G, the installation was easy because the router adapts to the appropriate 2.4G setting that the device needs. NOT HERE! This device kept giving me an error that it must run only on a 2.4G network. In other words, the device isn't so "smart" here. So I had to turn off my adaptive bandwidth setting on the router, switch it to manual, and setup a second SSID just for the 2.4G network, just so I could continue connecting this switch. Very annoying. But... nonetheless, it worked.Finally, the device does work easily with Alexa. We are able to turn the lights off and on with ease. I do wish that I could get it to pair with my Samsung SmartThings hub but no luck. If you have a SmartThings hub, good luck, It doesn't work with it, which makes this a major disappointment for me (and, yes, I know that compatibility was not advertised here... I was just hopeful). My entire home is run off the ST hub and this is the only set of lights I cannot control for my security scenes and automation. Very disappointing. Hopefully support will come for ST at some point, but for now it simply does not work. I did read some online posts where users apparently found a way to flash the firmware with a similar device's program and tricked it to work with ST. I may have to explore that possibility. Definitely not an easy task for most folks. My feeling is, if it can be tweaked by manipulating the device with alternate firmware updates, why not just release an official update to make it actually work with the product?If support for ST doesn't occur in the near future, I will likely replace this for a device that does because I am really missing it... more than I thought I would. However, if all you want to do it turn the lights on an off with Alexa and are fine with using the products own app, then you'll be happy enough. It does the job and work sufficiently. As I said, it has a clean setup, looks great on the wall, and works beautifully otherwise. I'm giving it three solid stars because it is OK... I would give it 4 stars if the switches touch area was larger to accommodate the entire button and not just the little icon in the middle. I would give this 5 starts if it worked with other hubs like SmartThings.

I purchased two of these switches about one month apart. The first one came and worked as advertised. It actually is an amazing product. When I received the second switch, it looked like the first except for two columns that hold screws for the faceplate. See my attached picture. There are two columns on the top and bottom which make the switch too big to fit in the electrical box. I returned the switch and ordered another one by clicking on my old order to order again. When I received that order, it too had the columns for the screws on the top and bottom. So, I will be returning this switch and will just get my money back. If they start selling the other switch again, great buy. Since two out of three did not work, I will give it two stars.

Everything about this switch has been an unmitigated disaster.Let's start with the fact that the instructions are in such broken English as to be nearly incomprehensible. Let me give you an example: "1. Touch the switch's ON/OFF button for 5 seconds, until blue light three flashes one stop then until the blight continuous flashing quickly, choose second way and next ". That is verbatim.Next, the wallplate is smaller than standard, which for meant it simply won't cover the hole in the wall. The provided screws are also too short to fit correctly. The whole thing looks godawful.Despite being an IT professional who deals with wiring almost every day, I eventually broke down and hired an electrician. $200 later and several hours later, he also couldn't figure it out.I curse the day this switch came into my life. It's too late for me. Run away now and save yourselves.

I ordered the LYASI Wi-Fi light switch to control my overhead ceiling fan with my new Echo Dot. It came with a nice face plate to replace any existing single switch plate. The LYASI Wi-Fi light switch is wider than a normal light switch so you can’t reuse the existing face plate or use it in a multi-gang outlet since the face plate won’t fit. The switch was easy to install in place of my existing switch, but I had to connect a ground wire and add a neutral wire since the switch needs a hot and neutral to function. Also, pay attention to the line and output markings to make sure incoming power in on the line connection and the output goes to the ceiling fan or like you want to control – I had to swap mine around to get it to work. I downloaded the eWeLink app and had to work with it awhile to get it to work. Once I got it working with my Wi-Fi, it found the switch and I was able to enable the skill with Alexa and it has been working perfectly every sense. It has a nice backlight touch button to override the Alexa control anytime you want and a connectivity indicator. I thought at first that I had to tell Alexa to “ask welink” before commanding the fan on or off, but it works just like my other smart outlets and I can skip the “ask welink” part and just say “turn ceiling fan on”.

I ordered first device and found it worked very good for few days. Able to share with other family members. So I ordered 2 more, installed and worked normally for one day then one of the touch plate fell off next day. And the adhesive is covered with dust, not sure it happen when touch plate fell off or from assemble line. Anyway, the device is working intermittence now and seeking for replace. Don't know how long the other 2 will last.
