Any new competition for these switches? I have 2 light fixtures with 8 globe smart bulbs each, I have 1 standard switch for each fixture I also wouldn't be apposed to a remote switch for each fixture as well The reason for so many bulbs is for "wife approval" color temperature couldn't be decided on
Comment from : Tom Paquette

I was wondering if you could suggest something for how do I set alexa routine to turn off certain appliances during power cut when I'm using inverter as backup power for home The backup power would last longer if I could do sobrThanks

Has anyone found a switch that works with Google home, without using another hub?
Comment from : Todd Mitchell

I need a switch that will let me turn on and off my smart lights but preferably without having to mess with wiring I have Feit bulbs Do you know of anything that is compatible?
Comment from : Andy Curto

the problem with most of these is that they can't run alexa routines they only work with their own same brand devices
Comment from : Arthur

Get some Lutron Auroras You’re welcome
Comment from : Alex Bruns

I have Nanoleaf essential bulbs with thread tech and I would LOVE a light switch that I can use manually without turning off the power to the bulbs I have apple home pod minis as my hub, I wish there was an easy solution that didn’t cost a ton
Comment from : Heidi

Q what you use as control instead of app and voice?
Comment from : Berni

I have Philips wink smart color down lights They work great but I'm trying to figure out what's the best switch to go with those The TP link smart dimmer switch doesn't have constant power I don't think Any ideas? Also, is there another hub that is similar to smart things that are cheaper?
Comment from : AMC

i just need one physical button that triggers a google routine why is it so hard to find?
Comment from : AP Kaamiño

In my mind, disabling local control is just not attaching any wire to the load side
Comment from : Richard Amlin

It would be really nice to know which ones work with hubitat Specially the buttons, that usually doesn’t work with hubs that are different than the manufacture
Comment from : Vinicius Eduardo Molina

What is your opinion of the C by GE smart switches? Just curious because I have installed several of them and I feel like they limit some of my smart home functionality since they don't work with anything but Alexa/Google
Comment from : Hayden Shyers

Wrong
Comment from : Muaz Rehan

God, American light switches are horrendously ugly
Comment from : Jack

I’d love a colour wheel style controller for smart lights on the wall brI see these for wired led strip drivers, but want them for wifi smart bulbs!
Comment from : Andrw Waugh

Hey Reed, what’s kind of filter strip are you using on your LED light strip in the corner of your office?
Comment from : David Edwards

The wizmote is great but the switch still has to be on the on position always
Comment from : B K

Hello! I just purchased the WiZ Controller for my WiZ ligt bulbs but when it tells me to press the power button 3 times to enable pairing on my controller nothing happens please help :)
Comment from : Raphael Garcia

Thanks for the info i'm thinking of buying INNR bulbs but need a remote Does the Philips Hue switch work with INNR? Thanks
Comment from : seanerika12

It's disgusting we can't buy a wifi switch that looks like a standard light switch Are all smart home companies this dumb?
Comment from : Toughnut

Can I use philips hue dimmer switch to control my non philips wifi smart bulbs?
Comment from : Mel G

I need a switch that fits over existing wired light switch that I can attach to google assistant and control basic wifi smart light I live in an apartment and don't want to re-wire switches, and I already have smart light bulbs (not smart things connected or phillips) Just need a way to stop visitors from turning off my switches when attempting to use the lights without the Google assistant
Comment from : Brent Fraliex

Question, I just tried to install two teckin switches in my house One for the porch light, and one dimmer switch for my kitchen recessed lights The porch install was a little shaky but i managed to install it but i now need to install a bigger electric box so the switch will fit Which sucks but here's my big problem the dimmer switch for my kitchen lights won't caught off or dim I thought i had dimmable light but i don't know There was an old school Lutron switch on there but not smart But i had to unplug everything because i couldn't get the lights to turn off First when the green light was on my lights were still on but with teckin that means your lights should be off But i think i fixed that problem kind of, Because no matter on/off the lights wont turn off Do you or anyone know what i could of did wrong to cause this
Comment from : Nicholas Edwards

What do you think of sengled
Comment from : Mike Mils

Is there a smart switch, preferably wireless, or button in any kind that is compatible with smart life Or is it possible to use a google home compatibe switch to control lights that are connected to smart life or any other app that is also connected to google home?
Comment from : Finch

I found that blocking the light switch with a piece of tape solved the issue of people flicking the non smart light switch and messing up literally everything lol
Comment from : Jumpman Journeys

flic is crazy overpriced
Comment from : matjaro

Your light switch is definitely missing the Samotech SM214 cover for Hue dimmer 🤣
Comment from : M S

Great review I'm interested in larger buttons like the Echo Buttons for those seniors with dexterity issues Have you tried the Aeotec Wall Mote? I can get it to work fine with SmartThings, but Alexa is not seeing it through the SmartHings Skill I'm looking into 3D printing "button holders" for Flic and SmartThings buttons to make them easier to use
Comment from : Frank E

I have LIFX mini Color bulbs in my room, there all in lamps so I don’t need a switch that covers up the main lights switch I just would like a smart button that doesn’t require a hub It would be great if it could also change Color/brightness Any reccomendations
Comment from : Frafor GT-350R

Hi Reed, I have the Sonoff TXT2EU1C wired to Yeelight Ceiling light but if I turn off the wall switch I loose the connection with the light, can't use the app if the smart wall switch is off 😞 anyway to fix this? thanks
Comment from : André Silva

Lutron caseta pico remotes can control almost anything if you have the Lutron smartbridge pro The remotes are only like $15, they have 5 buttons, and programmable options for when the buttons are pushed, held, and released I use them with Hubitat for local control of devices/smart bulbs You should be able to trigger an Amazon routine I haven’t gotten that far in Hubitat yet I’ve read that people use them to control all kinds of devices and to manually trigger routines/scenes, automations The company makes really cheap wall mounting kits so they’re aesthetically pleasing I put them in my parents’ house, and they love them
Comment from : A CeliaCLE

Any smart paddle switches that don’t require wiring available in the UK apart from Hue?
Comment from : Anon P

When you change your wakeup word to echo because most people love to say alexa in their videos 👁👄👁
Comment from : Sweetdnlg

I bought a 4 pack of treatlife smart switches on Amazon for 36$ They turn on 2 ceiling fans and 2 ceiling fan lights independently and with google home or Alexa
Comment from : Samuel P

Hi, I have a question Why didn’t you just use the caseta Lutron fan switch It has fan speeds & light on off settings The multi push of the button you used is way to complicated
Comment from : Koi Stam

What is the difference between "smart things" and "smart life" which is better?
Comment from : ThaJakester

I watched this video to learn something new about smart switches (great video by the way) but the finale Oh man, i couldn't stop laughing This is literally my everyday life with my wife! I cut this scene and posted on Facebook, i really hope you don't mind She nearly died laughing when she saw it
Comment from : sakis86s

Your channel definitely deserves my subs!
Comment from : Make Money Guide

Hue dimmer switch combined with Apple homekit is best option
Comment from : Div

Apparently Halo, C by GE and maybe others have smart switches that leave trace power to smart lights Seriously under-rated part of C by GE IMO
Comment from : Joseph Wise

Everything need hub? Really? No standalone wifi button?
Comment from : Rafly Abdurrasyid

I have the same questions as you I bought a smart outdoor outlet to plug in my string lights and I just want a switch on the wall to control it, but that's not how any smart switch works apparently Looks like I'll have to get a SmartThings button and attach it to the wall somehow
Comment from : nevermore0

So if I use other smart light switches that are connected to "dumb" light bulbs this wouldn't be an issue brbrWanted to know I have a "dumb" bulb that can dim, would a smart dimmer switch work with that? brbrThanks in advance
Comment from : Juan Carlo del Rosario

Lutron Caseta is the best and elegant solution
Comment from : Noname custom channel

Thanks for always referencing the wife approval factor That is always something I’m trying to factor in too
Comment from : Brian P

Shelly 1 wifi implant has a detached mode that can control smart lights via SmartThings, Hubitat, Home Assistant or similar Is cheap Works reliably
Comment from : DIY techie

I have been researching for this topic for days but couldn't find an answer to my satisfactory I started to wonder if there is an obvious solution that was not even worth discussing I am new to smart home and a smart wireless physical switch is the first thing I need I just want to hit a button to turn the light on without yelling at Alexa or pulling out my phone Thanks for the video Glad to find your channel Your videos are just what I need
Comment from : HY Chen

The issue I struggled with is wanting all my buttons/switches to look the same (including replacing all my "dumb" switches) For anyone who wants that, your options are limited Paddle switches are ubiquitous and perfectly fine, but paddle switch remotes just don't cut it The only one I know of is Lutron Cadeta and Pico It requires a bridge, but can connect to SmartThings (using the cloud) or Hubitat/HASS
Comment from : MrRoguetech

For Philips Hue, the Philips Hue dimmer is very expensive I think it is better to buy a IKEA TRADFRI Remote, it can control Hue Lights
Comment from : Nicolas Aubert

shelly is the answer ? full WAF
Comment from : avi

He! I was wondering if these options are compatible in Europe also? Any thoughts what I should get for smart switches in the Netherlands?
Comment from : Rens

What was the device you used for the ceiling fan?
Comment from : Gerald Slonaker

Thanks Reed,brOne question I have, If in my setup I have a two way switch (two switches for one bulb)brbrIs there any smart switch that could work with this setup?
Comment from : SM26

We were promised flying cars and instead got clumsy gadgets to turn on light switcheswhat a waste
Comment from : J Mac

The GoControl WA00Z-1 does bNOT/b work with SmartThings Part of the GitHub DTH repo also fails to update after being installed I bought 3 of these things based on this video I'm sadly disappointedbrbrEdit: WebCore saved my investment
Comment from : maestrotech

I've flashed my WiFI switches with Tasmota and can run automations with the switch and the bulbs using my Hubitat It's not for those who aren't technically inclined as you have to install custom drivers in Hubitat for Tasmota, but it's worth it to mebrbrEDIT: Subscribed!
Comment from : Jim Bronson

That ending had me laughing so hard, my wife hates having to learn all the routines for our smart lighting
Comment from : ScreenSlayr

Should add the C by GE switches to your next set of reviews Their smart switch hardwires, replaces existing switch and retains smart function when off The switch itself acts as the hub for other CbyGE devices App can be quirky but I only use for initial setup Didn't care for the look of the dimmer at first but it grew on me
Comment from : Bill Attwood

Old house had Lutron Radio RA Anything as nice as that out now at a much lower price?
Comment from : GlockMan945

You are looking for switches that use the SmartLife app Teckin is one of the brands
Comment from : Darius Yang

Kindly do automations with nfc tags
Comment from : Syed Inam

What about the ikea tradfri remote? Also works with smartthings
Comment from : Mohamed El Kharbotly

Great video I became tired of juggling proprietary devices and decided to try home assistant with zigbee2mqtt It works perfectly and lets me use a wide variety different devices/brands
Comment from : tseawell90

Hey - you should check out the Shelly i3 (well and Shelly in general)
Comment from : Etienne

Hey Reed I love your videos!! I’m just curious which SmartThings app I should use? The new one or the classic one? Thanks!!
Comment from : Michael Norman

I use some sonoff switchs, WiFi and cheap
Comment from : Marcelo Neubert Germann

I use Kasa smart switch and Wyze bulb
Comment from : Tai Tran

when is the wiz lights video going to be made? also seems like there is Philips wiz connected and wiz connected lights and they are different and even have different looks Philips wiz connected lights are only sold at home depot which is weird still i think brlike this is not sold at home depot or even the wiz website at all what is different about this now? old version? wwwamazoncom/WiZ-IZ0126083-Connected-Compatible-Required/dp/B07PCFN1ZMbrbralso hear about being able to control wiz connected with hue and hue without hub but don't know how all that work now
Comment from : james42519

can i connect my security camera with smart light like when i get notification some light with switch please reply
Comment from : Dark Moon!

Why aren’t we talking about Shelly 25 relays? Require minor electrical work and a bit of head scratching on how to wire it but works with your normal light switches and has a wide range of features There is a great plugin for Home assistant too You can also use it to make any fixture or outlet smart Also the Lurton Aurora is fantastic for hue lights
Comment from : Devon Krutz

Great video! Isn't there a Phillips cover for a switch that is like a circle dial / button? I think Ikea has one too This issue is real and it seems like there is no great, easy, cheap solution
Comment from : Tyler Hilliard

flash the hama singledouble/triple to do mqqt via tasmoita or esp home without using the relay DIY but works like a charm
Comment from : patrick maartense

What about the lutron Aurora?
Comment from : David Chavez

omg hahaha @the rocket gag
Comment from : Yan Garza

Great video! I've been on Smartthings for about 4 years and I've been looking for a good in-wall remote ever since I never understood why I couldn't find one like they have with Insteon I have the GoControl, which is great but ugly and only two buttons I also have the Smartthings button which is horrible, it eats through batteries and is super-unreliable The best I've come across is the Aeon Minimote, which is no longer made and hard to find now at an inflated price I have this velcro'd to a custom routed wood wall plate in my mud room Press one button on the way out the door and all the lights turn off (Smartthings scene)! I really wish some company would come out with an 8-ish button remote like what is available on Insteon though! I have also setup scene control on some of my Zooz switches and it works really well! I wish I'd gone with more Zooz than GE/Jasco/Enbrighten because of this feature Reid - if you ever want someone to help test for you just let me know :) !
Comment from : Justin Sanker

Hi, thanks for the video What about the Shelly i3? It’s not actually a switch It’s a in wall solution You can ‘control’ up to 3 switches with one device
Comment from : Niels Coehorst

Ever considered that a Shelly 1 or Shelly 2,5 could solve your control problems too with your Fan? Does require you do work with electricity wires tho
Comment from : Bob NL

Great review as always
Comment from : Rudy

Good stuff! Subscribed! 👍
Comment from : shojus

My gosund Wi-Fi light switches for $15 a piece Can be fully automated Can be turned on and off manually and still be controlled through the home wirelessly They do need a constant power supply but most modern homes have I think they're one of the most economical choices there is
Comment from : bobinh2otown

Iv soldered 2 wires to my hue buttons, and use my fancy chrome UK momentary switches to control them, look stock but i can now also just flick the switch
Comment from : sciroccomods․com

Great video! Ive know about inovelli switches for a while and to be honest its probably the best bang for your buck as far as zwave switches go You cant really get a zwave wall* switch for under 30 bucks anyways on amazon
Comment from : poland153

I use Hue just go to ETSY and order a handmade plate that replaces the plate in your home and adds a place for the HUE switch This is the best!
