eMylo Smart WiFi Light Switch Wireless Relay Switch Module Remote Control Home Automation Timers Compatible with Alexa Echo Google Home iPhone Android App 2 Packs

Had a fluorescent kitchen light with the switch located across the room from where we normally enter the room. Not able to rewire a three way due to structural issues. The product easily solved that problem and allowed me to program a schedule as well.

The code to get to the correct software did not work and the item is too big for a single gang electrical box

*** UPDATED 7/12/18 *** - Seller has addressed the earlier safety concern. The original version of this product used a quick connector that was dangerous (see below). The seller of the product took my review seriously and reached out to me the same day. They understood the concern and let me know they were going to change to a different quick connector. The seller shipped me a replacement at no cost and for my evaluation and feedback. The new lever quick connector is a significant improvement. The new connector ensures that a bare wire is no longer exposed. Additionally the new connector also firmly holds the wire. I gave the wires a good tug once it was locked in and didnt see any movement. The new lever connector makes it very simple to connect your wiring. Simply strip the wire the the recommended length. Note that if you look at the bottom of the quick connector there is a reference that shows how much wire should be stripped. Do not exceed that length to ensure the wire is fully shielded inside the connector. The quick connector works with both solid and stranded wire. The functionality of the unit is great. Its easy to install the app and connect devices to the app. Instructions are clear and straight forward. It was also very easy to add to Alexa app for voice control through the Echo devices. Even if you dont have an Alexa product the app is easy to use as well and also includes an option to schedule on/off times. The only negative about the app is it doesnt offer widgets (I use the Android version) which would allow a widget button to be put on the screen of your phone. You can then turn the EMylo device on and off without having to launch the app. All other apps for similar products that Ive used offer this, so hopefully this will be added in a future version. _____ORIGINAL REVIEW_____ WARNING - This product can be very dangerous due to design flaw Please note - I attempted to write a review for the single unit however for some reason Amazon would not permit me to do so. However I am a VERIFIED purchaser of this unit. Based on what I found, I wanted to get my review posted before someone gets injured. The biggest factor that eMylo uses to differentiate itself is the quick connector. Well, its also its biggest reason for only 1 star. Ive used the competitions model, and I did find that a bit clunky to get wired. So when I saw this with the easy connector I was quickly sold. However, in reality this connector is not secure and Id also say its not safe. Let me explain. There is a short wire that is connected inside the unit (basically the same as competitors product) and then connected to the quick connector. This is very visible in the pictures in the listing. When I received the unit I gave it a look over, and a slight tug on the connector caused the wire to slide out of the connector, exposing a bare wire. So imagine if you had this connected in your home and the wire slid out of the connector, exposing a bare live wire that your child, spouse or pet could get zapped. The quick connector SHOULD NOT BE USED, IT CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS. Fortunately, you can disconnect the quick connector wires and then connect wires inside the unit, same as the competition, but then theres no difference between this and other products that are on the market. I did test the unit, discarding the quick connector and attached wires directly inside the unit, I found that the unit worked well. However, this then pointed out that there is another design flaw. That same connector could also slip off wires that youve connected to it. Imagine that you have one end connected to your outlet and those wires slip out of the quick connector. You now have exposed wires as well. I tested connections into the quick connector and found that wires can slide out with only a modest tug. At this point, with the danger of live wires being exposed by accidentally slipping off the quick connector Amazon should immediately stop selling this product before someone gets injured, or worse.

Surprising easy to set up with their app.

Requires 3rd party software and still would not pair with any router or network setup I tried. After my fourth attempt, I told Alexa to start a return on this item.

Lo usé para mis bombillos empotrados en la pared y salieron super, funcionan a la perfección con alexa.

Installed one in the attic for the attic fan. Works great, easy to set up. I use the tuya life app and it connected first try. I have many different smart plugs and devices that all work with this app. Anyone who struggles, know that it must be 2.4 gigahertz wifi connection and a password for the Wi-Fi cannot be too long. I cant remember how many characters. I setup a guest Network for all of my smart devices so they could have a shorter password.

I wish the devices were a tiny bit smaller, other than that they work very well!

I am not quite sure what they mean warmth and sheerness that they ask to you to evaluate/rate. ??? The reason I like them is that they are an easy unit to use and wire into a device that needs control, and can be controlled by Alexa or a phone very easily. Such as... I added a fan in the garage above the garage door opener to control heat movement from an electric garage heater I added. The pull switch would have been a nuisance. I mounted one of these babies in the cord set going to the garage door opener outlet and now I can say Alexa turn on garage fan anywhere in the house. So cool. I have also used these to make short Wifi extension cords. These are easy to make. You take a flat plug extension cord with two wires, (unplugged of course), cut it, cut it to length, strip 3/8 or so on each of the four wire ends and plug the stripped wires into the four connector blocks provided. Make sure you have the wall side of the cord with the plug go into the IN side of the unit and the 1, 2 or 3 outlet side of the cord go into the OUT side of the unit. You now have a Wifi extension cord. Why you ask? You could use a Wifi module and put it into the outlet and plug your device into it. But on some circumstances where you have furniture that needs to fit up against a wall, the extra module and plug pushes the furniture away from the wall. This works very nicely.

So I had tried several other products, such as the popular Sonoff brand switches. I absolutely could not get them to work at all, even after contacting their support. I ended up returning those other brand switches. So I ordered these on a whim, they are a new product, and when I ordered there were NO reviews posted yet. Risky I thought, but oh well. Upon receipt they were nicely packed, with good quality quick connectors instead of crappy wire nuts but - first complaint here is that while the end caps are removable, there is no point to removing them. The wires are soldered to the PCB inside the unit - personally, I would rather them forgo the quick connects and wires, and just put a screw header on the PCB for connecting whichever wiring you need to. Nonetheless, the ends of the wires were pre-tinned with solder to keep them from fraying which was a nice touch, and the connectors they provided were of good quality - but they dont work well on high AWG wire (such as 12 AWG). They did work good on smaller AWG however. In my use case, I was putting these switches inside of fluorescent fixtures, where the internal wiring is 18 AWG, but the home wiring is 12 AWG. So I was able to use the connectors for the fixture side of the switch, but not for the internal house side. It would not bite onto a solid core 12 AWG wire and stay attached. Just something to note if you are using these as most people would. Anyways, those issues aside, they were fairly easy to set up - I used some double-sided foam tape to attach them to the inside of the fixtures, and was able to get them wired up fairly quickly. You could do this and then set them up in-situ, but I decided to get them setup prior to wiring, and I am glad I did. Thankfully I have a quick-test so I can connect devices to mains for situations like this (search for CLIFF Quick Test on Google, I cant recall where I ordered my US version from). This enabled me to connect to mains voltage at my workbench and get them configured and synced to my account prior to installation - definitely do this if you can. As for setup and linking: The instructions are pure garbage. Throw them away and do this - this was the ONLY reliable method I found to configure. 0) Before starting, you absolutely positively you must have a 2.4 GHz only wireless AP set-up. I did this on my router by setting up a guest network for all of my smart devices on the 2.4 GHz band only. This ensures the device only connects to that SSID and that frequency, and wont complain in the app if you have a dual band router. 1) Connect your cell phone to the same 2.4 GHz AP you are using for the smart devices. Install the Smart Home app if you have not already and get your account set up. 2) In the app, use wall switch for adding a new device type, and get it to the point where it says to make sure your device is blinking during the on screen setup. 3) Hold the button down for at least 10 seconds. It will click several times. After 10 seconds, release the button. 4) Immediately after release, count for 1 beat, and then hold in the button again for an additional 10 seconds. 5) Click the confirm/next button in the app to tell it your device is blinking. 6) Wait for the phone to finish setup - the switch might click once or twice. Be patient! Sometimes it takes the full 2 minutes. 6b) If somehow this doesnt work, return to step 3 and repeat, making sure you are following the button holds exactly. 7) It should be set up - test and make sure the switch clicks when you press the switch on screen on the app. Rename the device as desired - it will probably come up named by default with chinese characters. 8 - optional) Link your smart life account with your google or amazon account according to those providers normal process. I did this with google - and then afterwords I told google home to resync devices. Congrats, done! Now install them in the fixture (turn off your power at your breaker panel first!!!) and restore power, and give them about 30 seconds or so to reconnect up, and then test them out. Note: you could do the setup in-situ if you cannot connect before installing, its just going to be more difficult if you are on a ladder arms above head :) Oh and last bit - once all of this was done, they are working GREAT - they respond extremely fast - I also inspected the components, and they used decent quality components - the relays seem properly sized for the task, etc. Just make sure you adhere to their specifications - 10 A MAX - I wouldnt go more than 8 amps to give yourself a buffer - I am using on lights, so probably an amp max for me. 4/5 stars due to poor instructions and other minor complaints. If they update the instructions and change to screw post connectors, I could give this 5 stars.
