Bkiyougo Smart Touch Light Switch 3 Gang 1 Way WiFi Wall Switch Works with Alexa and Google Home Tuya Smart Life App Voice Control, Glass Panel with LED Backlight

Love these so easy to use and connect

This review is for "Bkiyougo Smart Touch Light Switch 3 Gang 1 Way WiFi Wall Switch Works with Alexa and Google Home Tuya Smart Life App Voice Control, Glass Panel with LED Backlight."This is an excellent smart switch for controlling three lights independently. It is a fairly stylish construction with a thick glass front, coloured black and with rings representing the switches, glowing white when off and red when on. It works perfectly as a manual switch, with just a touch controlling each light to be on or off. There was only one issue when wiring, the neutral wire terminal is buried deep in a hole, so do make sure this is well inserted in order to make a good connection.Smart home connectivity was good, and the light switch was immediately detected by my existing Smart Life app, and subsequently by the Alexa integration and Smartthings I already had linked to Smart Life. Four switches were created, one for each light switch, and a fourth to control all the switches as a group.In the Smart Life app you can also set up automations, and even energy monitoring if you tell the app what power of bulbs you have connected to the switches. There is an option in the app to turn off the WiFi connection light too if you prefer. I also tried linking my Smart Life account with Home Assistant, and found that worked flawlessly too. In fact Home assistant seemed to be a little quicker to respond to any changes in switch status than Alexa did.Overall I am very happy with this, and it will replace a zigbee switch in my garage that I have found to be unreliable. I rate it five stars. The price at the time of review was around £17 which is great value too.

No Neutral wire needed is what inspired me on this. I have one of these touch switches already, but it needed a neutral wire, something I had to manually run along the wall to make it work, but never got round to chasing the wire in permanently. This switch however has saved me from having to do this and it works just as described.Very easy to operate on the touch element and likewise, easy to operate from the smart app.Just make sure you wire it correctly and if unsure, get a professional electrician to wire this up.
