Smarter Smart Light Switch
Switching on and off the outside lights at the front of our house was an additional chore and most of the time the lights were remain on all the day and night as we often forget to switch the lights off. I decided to install a smart switch so we can set an automatic on and off schedule to save the efforts and energy. Initially I was hesitant to purchase this brand due to the lower price for a pack of 3 switch as compare to the other brands but I am extremely happy with my purchase now. It came with good instructions and I was able to install it myself and without any help to replace the existing manual switches. I was not sure about the neutral wires but after watching a tube video I was able to figure this out.It works perfectly fine and I am confident that these switches are made of a good quality and will last for a long time. App was easy to setup and it works with my Alexa.

I was smart to buy these
These are simple one way, non dimming on/off switches that can be controlled by wifi. They work great. Easy to install- just be sure to have the hot wire (black) and your load (light bulb) attached to the two black wires. The white wire is the return or ground. The smart switch gets its power from the hot wire. These switches connect quickly and easily using your smart phone. Once online, I find them stable and reliable.

Seamless conversion
I installed all 3 in my home. One in the bedroom, one in the kitchen, and one in the garage. No more having to get out of bed to make sure the two most commonly left-on lights are off, and to turn on/ off the lights without getting up. I love that it connects easily to google assistant, allowing me to add it to routines. For example, my alarm goes off, and over the course of 30 min (20 prior and 10 after it goes off) my hue lamp slowly goes from 0-100%. After another 15 minutes has passed (me hitting snooze) the main light flips on thanks to this switch in my bedroom. No more sleepy time lol. Might have to get another 3 pack for more automation and simplicity!

Worked right after installation
I meant to replace my fireplace switch and it didn't work. Obviously, I didn't understand and later learned that the fireplace switch is of low voltage and this one is intended for regular light switch. So I used it to replace my front door light switch instead. It worked right after my installation and now I set my front light per my schedule.If you want to automate your lights and have control remotely, this one is easy to install and I'd highly recommend.

Easy install and setup
Switch is as easy to install as any light switch. Make sure you have the common (white) wire otherwise it won’t work for your installation. Configured in less than a minute with the Smartlife app. I really like that you can configure the led light to be on or off to locate the switch in the dark.If I had to complain about anything it would be the paper sticker in the back. You have to peel it off to install and since it’s paper, it tears instead of cleanly peeling off.I recommend if you have the basic knowledge to install and configure.

No logo and quick addition to my Smartlife ecosystem
These are great single pole smart switches for my hallway lighting. At this price range it is affordable and simple to convert a standard light switch to one that is compatible with Alexa. These switches only have the LED indicator light. Both the faceplate and switch itself do not have their company logo is great since I just want a clean looking switch for the wall.Pros:Price +++Reliable+++No Logo++Good Packaging++

Works great
My husband installed this in our bedroom. He didn't need tech support, as he is a retired mechanical engineer. Our old house did not have a ground wire, but he figured out how to put one in. It says these switches only work with grounded outlets, but an electrician or engineer can install one. The new light switch set up easily with Alexa.

Great value switch
This smart switch is relatively easy to install and the instruction is very clear. It looks great and is well connected to my Alexa. In addition, they are relatively cheap compare to other switches. Some of them on Amazon is just overpriced.

Perfect!
I had my doubts about this product, not being able to see clearly from the images how the sides of the cover looked. I was concerned that the lack of any gap at all between switches on a multipoint would mean they wouldn't fit. My concern was unfounded: they fit perfectly (see photo). They're really easy to install and there's loads of tape supplied so they can be removed and moved many, many times. I'm absolutely delighted that my trigger-happy grandsons can no longer mess up my smart home setup - although they're going to hate that they can't switch their bedroom light back on after lights out without alerting me by yelling at a distant Echo device:-)Thoroughly recommended. I think you'd have to have some very unusual light switches for these not to work.

Good idea but plastic turns a clear yellow after a number of months.
Good idea but plastic turns a clear yellow after a number of months. Can't really notice these when first put on but look grubby after time and plastic changes colour I suspect due to heating / environment as they have not been touched. Shame really as they do the job. I have given a fair rating i.e. not one star.

Perfect if you have Hue devices
I bought these to stop my partner switching off the light switches despite us having Phillips Hue through the house linked to remotes and Alexa... Probably something many 'techies' have experienced. I wanted a cheap and simple solution without having to remove or blank off my light switches and this was PERFECT.Installation is simple and the pack comes with a roll of transparent double sided tape that you apply and then stick these over the switch. The tape is very sticky and seems to be a good job holding them on. I have those slightly curved switches (UK) rather than perfectly flat and these still work really well.The reason for only 4 stars?I personally think these are a little over priced. You get three in the pack but they are literally just tiny bits of plastic with a bit of tape, Effectively you're paying £1 per item then a £1 for shipping which isn't the end of the world but I reckon is they were about £1 cheaper I would feel better about it.Would I buy again?Most certainly, even if it's just to watch my partner try and turn the light off with this over the top!

Does the job well.
I had a few switches which needed to be on permanently but were regularly being accidentally switched off. These covers have sorted out the problem. Unlike some of the other reviews here, I had no issues sticking them to the switch plate. As long as you don't try to use the first few inches from the role of double-sided tape (which are just there to prevent the tape sticking to everything before use) and thoroughly clean the area around the switch, there's no problem. In fact, the tape is so sticky that it's difficult to get the cover off if it's not quite in the correct place! Perhaps a little over-priced for what you get but they certainly work as advertised.

Very Handy
These do exactly what we want them to do.With smart bulbs it's hard to remember not to touch the light switch.These take the possibility of accidentally turning the switch out of the equation.We had problems with delivery at 1st but when we changed the delivery address all was good.
