Eva Logik Smart Light Switch, On/Off, Single Pole & 3 Way, Aluminium Plate, 2.4G WiFi Light Switch, Needs Neutral Wire, No Hub Required, Worlks with Alexa and Google Home, ETL and FCC Listed

This switch was just what I was looking for. I needed a three way dimmer that will work with the Smart Life app and my LED lights. After shopping around, I ran across this one and chose it because of the smaller form factor. I have an older home with metal junction boxes that are smaller that the newer plastic boxes. Most smart devices are big and bulky and have pigtail connections. That makes them hard to fit in the smaller boxes especially with the required wire nuts. This switch fits much better! It does require a neutral conductor and also needs to be installed in the location with line side rather than the load side which could be an issue depending on your installation. Otherwise, it is easy to install and configure with the app. The only downside for me is that it is not available in brown or black, so it kinda jumps out in my room. I may end up coloring it somehow.

I really like these smart switch. I have both the dimmer and the on/off switch. They both work nicely with my 3-way and single pole switch. I had previous other brand smartswitch, and all of a sudden, it does not work anymore (I think it was due to the app is no longer available from the app store). Anyways, I replaced them with 6 dimmer switch and 3 on/off switch. Connecting to the 3-way was a bit tricky as I had the Leviton switch wired for the previous smart switch. The support was very helpful. The switch does come with the latest instruction; so no need to hunt for it online as they are old. It works nicely with Alexa and Google.

What I liked, and what I wish all smart switches would have, is the terminal connections instead of "pigtail" wires. Most smart switches have individual wires coming out for each connection, which means you need to connect to your house circuit using wire nuts. Those wires and nuts take up a lot of room in a box, making it tough to stuff back in. This switch has push-in wire connections that are tightened with screw terminals. This makes it easier to install.**EDIT** I'm updating my review.First, their Support was on vacation, so it took time for them to respond to emails.These switches have internal firmware that can be updated through the Smart Home app. Support suggested updating this to fix the problem and now it works just as it should. No problems at all.One minor thing to know, though - The switch's style makes it look like a typical Decora "rocker" style, which matches our Decora rocker standard switches, but it doesn't behave like a rocker. Normally, pressing the bottom and top halves of the switches performs some function. For example, on a standard, non-3-way switch, pressing the top half turns the light on and pressing the bottom turns it off. However on this switch, only pressing the bottom does anything. If the light is on, it'll go off, and vice versa. Pressing the top half does nothing. It would be better if it behaved like a standard rocker (top turns on, bottom turns off) or if you could press either top or bottom to turn the light on/off.||| Original part of the review below, which no longer applies if you update the firmware. |||vv vvThe downside is it doesn't operate very well as a 3-way. For one thing, the paddle only works when youpress the top half. The bottom half doesn't do anything, so pressing the top turns your light off and pressing again turns it on. **Except** for when you turn the line off and on from your breaker box. That resets the switch so it turns off when you press the paddle bottom and on when you press the paddle top. But only if your other, regular (dumb) 3-way, is in one certain position. If I switch that regular switch to the other, then it goes back to where only the smart switch paddle top does anything. But if you start doing "smart things", like using the Smart Home app, sometimes you get it to where you can't get the paddle bottom to do anything ever again (until you reset again). Does this make sense?"Smart" operation is also messed up. If I use Google Home or Alexa, I have to press the button twice to get it to switch from on/off. The first time you press, Home says the light is on, but it's not. The next press turns the light on, but Home says it turned off. Another press does nothing with the light (it stays off), but Home now says it's off.There are other weird happenings, but it's tough to sort out all the variables. Like Alexa commands seem to work, but only if the regular switch is in the right position.I've tried chatting with Eva Logik, but they only say to email, and email gets no response. I'm going to return this and hope I can find a smart switch with screw terminals.

Installed and configured easily. It worked well for 8 months, then is just went dead. Tried all of the software and reset suggestions from manufacturer website with no luck. Tested the circuit and it was perfect. Replaced the 'smart' switch with a regular 3 way switch for $5 from HD, and the it's working, so the wiring is fine. Sent a message to the manufacturer seeking support and got no reply. Very disappointed.

***Updated reviewPreviously, I said these were among the best -- these are the BEST wifi switches on the market today. These switches use a proper wire terminal (no wire nuts needed), and have a METAL frame instead of thick, cheap plastic.Do not buy anything else. I also have the Eva Logik 3-way version of this switch and it also works in the same way.I have owned literally half a dozen brands of wifi switches and I am slowly replacing all of them with these. There is literally ZERO bad news with these and I cannot believe how cheap they are.**original review:These are among the best Wi-Fi switches because it has a frame for mounting it and wire terminals instead of wires. The metal frame makes it compatible with more light switch covers. If you use the plastic frame switch, it's very hard to use screwless switch covers. The plastic frame switches are simply too thick. Secondly, other Wi-Fi switches have wires instead of wire terminals which requires you to use wire nuts inside the switch box. If you have an older house with shallow switch boxes, it makes it impossible to install the switch. Everything else about the switch is also A+. Set up was very easy. Just make sure to follow the wiring instructions if you are using it in a three-way circuit.
