> 24 hourTo start with they are current rated so they have limits. These work fine if you completely replace a switch. The overall construction of these is cheaply made. One of the four pack I received the end cover was broken off. Wires are real short and the provided connectors in my opinion are junk. Might work nice on stranded 14 but what house wire is like that. The size will fit in electrical box but as stated replacing a switch and blank cover. What I hated the most about these is unlike smart bulbs they do not stay in last state / position. As a comparison you can use a smart bulb and still operate with a light switch. So during the day you can enter / leave a room and operate the lights on a switch. When you go away you can leave switch on and operate through smart life app. With these relays they will remain on Wi-Fi in app as the lights do. However you have to leave switch on and only operates on Wi-Fi. It will not hold the state it was in. It is literally a switch. Not very useful in comparison to bulbs. So really depends on what you want to achieve. This is not for some home do it yourself. Make no mistake this is electrical and should as a minimum be done by someone with that expertise.

> 24 hourUsed the switches to control lamp fixtures that I built to provide indirect ambient lighting that combined with other sensors could follow my movement around the house at night. Worked quite well for my purpose although wish I could have found similar switches that would switch a larger load than 10 amps.

> 24 hourI followed the instructions very carefully, but ultimately I gave up trying to get this switch to connect to WiFi. In setting up the app I was told I could sign in for a “free” account. However, the free account required that I input all my credit card information. Is this a scam? To further annoy me, during the periods where I was waiting for switch to connect with the app, I was presented with pop up ads to sell me other products. Very disappointed in this switch.

> 24 hourI bought this because I wanted to see if I could control my new pool light using my Amazon Alexa. I had recently changed out my light to a 12” Pool Baron nicheless LED pool light, so I needed something that would switch both the hot as well as the neutral lines at the same time. More importantly, I needed something that would be powerful enough to be able to pick up my wifi while being installed in a metal circuit breaker box located outside of my home. I chose the eMylo because they use the Tuya WiFi module, which is supposed to be the best as far as strength. The breaker box is outside, is 100% metal (with a 2nd metal cover that covers it), and is about 40-50’ from my WiFi router. I had tried others but they could not pick up the WiFi once the breaker box cover was closed – the eMylo was the only one that worked! I changed out the regular on/off power switch to a DPDT on/off/on switch so I could turn the light on manually if needed, but thanks to this switch I am able to use the Alexa with the Smart life app. Sweet! I had also had some concerns early on and eMylo was very good in helping me out. Five stars!

> 24 hourI could not get this to work. It kept tripping the GFCI on the circuit. Installation was easy and the setup looked pretty straight forward if it ever got power before tripping the GFCI.

> 24 hourI bought 6 of these and they will not pair through auto scan and they are not listed in the smart life app for manual pairing. I have not been able to find any kind of technical support for these. Most of my network consist of Meross devices that work flawlessly. These were a waste of time and money for me. I have other devices on my network that run on 2.4 gigahertz so I dont understand the issue. Too bad Im outside the return window.

> 24 hourI bought these switch for making my outdoor lights turn on at sunset and off at 6:30am. The app does very easy these routine (scene) for you. You need some electrical knowledge, find the proper wires in the main or first lamp of the whole outside circuit and connect to it. But after that the rest it’s just app from your phone.

> 24 hourHad to try several times to get it to hook up to my Wi-Fi but finally got it working. So far, seems to be stable and works with the App and Alexa.
