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

Im using this for small projects. It works great and is easy to use, but a few things Id like to note: 1) DO NOT PUT THIS IN A WALL OR OUTLET BOX, PUT IT IN A PROPER ENCLOSURE 2) PAY ATTENTION TO HOT/NEUTRAL AND TEST IT WITH A MULTIMETER 3) WHEN IN DOUBT, ASK, DONT GUESS - this does not have proper certifications and should be considered dangerous to use, if youre unsure of how to use this safely for your application, ask!

Ordered these remote switches to control my Backyard Pool Lamps with Alexa. Easy to install, detected my wifi, and works perfectly with my Alexa. I use the smart life app for all my other switches, plugs, garage opener, lamps, fans, so this went pretty smooth. The switch is about 85 feet away from my wifi extender in a sealed plastic junction box ( 8x 6 x 3) and detected quickly. I would not recommend using the connectors that come with it, they just slip out and wont hold (dangerous). I used the more reliable standard twist wire connectors. Im going to install one for the pool light.

Surprising easy to set up with their app.

*** 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.

Works fine, easy to config

I did not need make my entire Hayward Pool Panel and accessories to be smart which costs over $1,000 for that add-on. I just wanted the inground Hayward LED pool light to be smart. I installed this inline in 5 minutes and downstream from the Panel light switch. Basically it is in between the hayward panel light switch and just before the low voltage pool light transform that transforms the pool light to 12V DC. I was even able to lay the switch resting at the bottom of the metal panel and it still has good signal from my nearest Google WIFI Mesh system. I would say it is about 30 from the nearest WIFI Puck, which includes going thru an exterior wall and a metal panel. Very impressed and the easy connectors that it comes are pretty innovative. Which made the project go even faster. You do have to leave the Hayward imbedded pool light switch in the panel to be ON. However, obviously for the reason that the relay smart switch switch will now manage your off/on capabilities from your phone/ipad or wherever you install the Smart Life App

I used this to replace an old mechanical wheel style timer switch for my outside lights. I was able to pull the mechanical guts out of the box, and replace with this device. hooking up was easy, and setting up the connectivity was also very easy with the app. I was able to program it to turn on my lights in the morning, and turn them off at sunrise, and turn them on again at sunset and off at a set time. No more adjusting the timer as sunrise and sunset changes. The entire project including wiring, starting an account and programming the events took less than an hour.

This switch worked for adding on/off capability to our Ring floodlight camera. It saved me the effort of manually installing a switch. By following these steps you can configure all the switches comfortably at your table. You won’t wire it, and then find you have a problem. These are the steps I followed, which really simplified setup. Before doing the steps below, scan the barcode on the instructions, download Smart Life app, install & setup an account. Ensure your phone is on your 2.4 GHz network. You can add your Wi-Fi now or during the switch setup. I suggest doing it now. Prep before running application a) Use a power strip, but DON’T plug in yet. b) Plug in an old cut off extension cord (EC) (preferable one with 3 wires, so you can identify ground & power) c) Connect the Black (Power of EC) to INPUT Red side of switch labeled “L” Load d) Connect the White (Neutral of EC) to INPUT Black side of switch labeled “N” Neutral e) Find a cutoff female plug (FP) f) Connect the Black (Power of FP) to OUTPUT Red side of switch labeled “L” Load g) Connect the White (Neutral of FP) to INPUT Black side of switch labeled “N” Neutral h) Ensure there are no exposed wires. Plug in & turn on power strip. The purple light should be blinking fast. If not, press the black button on the switch until it does. Adding your device a) Launch Smart Life app. Go to Home & select + in the upper corner to add a device. b) Turn on your phone’s Bluetooth c) Click auto scan, then start scanning. It should find & configure your switch in less than 2 minutes. d) If auto scan doesn’t work, then add manually by selecting “Switch (WiFI))” under SWITCH heading e) Use the app & turn on/off the switch. I used portable voltage tester to verify. Pros - Simple to configure if you follow the steps above - Eliminates the need for a manual switch or adds Wi-Fi to an existing switch Cons - I don’t think the instructions are sufficient for an average person without prior electrical knowledge Summary Well worth the money. Highly recommend. Please let me know if this helps

I originally bought these to set up an IFTTT routine, when I turn on one switch two of these come on as well. This work GREAT for almost two years. Now SmartThings (the software that controls the switch) has decided to no longer work with IFTTT, their help section says; Were sorry we are no longer working with IFTTT, please use our ap instead and you cant add external devices.... Smart devices are supposed to work TOGETHER that is the whole idea of connected home! Great switch RUBBISH company!

Works great
