Koogeek Wall Light Switch Wi-Fi Smart Dimmer 2 Gang Switch Compatible with Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit and Google Assistant, Energy Monitoring Neutral Wire Needed No Hub Required Beige

Been waiting for smart ceiling lights realised it's more economy to swap the switch with smart one, found this for best price with two so can control more. Ordered and did received perfectly packed and fast. nice quality and colour with good finish. But not much colour options. Easy to install and connect to app too. Has the instruction book to follow and easy to connect with app. Now it's connected to my Alexa just like other smart plugs.Pleased with the purchase and the job it does. Will recommend it.Click YES if you like my comment, Saying YES you did, as it would help me a lot.

I've purchased a LOT of HomeKit and Alexa compatible products for my new house. Koogeek is the worst brand by far.Koogeek products in general, and this one in particular, are hard to install on the simplest system in the world: homekit. You have to try again and again until it works. And then the next day some koogeek switch will become unavailable on homekit. And you have to reset it and remove it and install it again and again and again.These switches in particular are very hard to work with. I bought three of them, which means I control 6 lights. There is no slider or anything. You have to press, and then quickly press again to hopefully get some kind of dimming before it turns off.They are very very ugly. Colored in this kind of off-white that looks like very cheap plastic, especially when installed on a white wall.I bought LED strips from this brand. The colors are so bad compared to LIFX leds installed right next to them.I bought EVE light switches. Easy breezy. Beautiful. Touch operation. And at least Eve switches work!Simply a VERY frustrating experience, and a very expensive one for that matter.

I'm using this with LED bulbs and the Android app connected to Alexa.Switch was easy to install and configure, although I did have to switch my network to 2.4GHz only to get it to connect.Operating the switch manually seems to be fine although it always comes on at full brightness rather than the previous setting.Dimming is painfully slow though, when switching off it dims down and takes almost 10 seconds, but comes on instantly. There also seems a delayed response to the switch. If you keep holding it to dim, the light carries on dimming and turns off several seconds after you release the button.Using it via the app seems fine, subject to the same dimming delays.Connecting it to Alexa also works sometimes, but sometimes turning the light off it turns back on again.Also seems to flicker very badly when dimming sometimes.Grouping the lights in Alexa doesn't seem to work properly, in that asking for the group to be turned on or off only turns the first light on or off.Also the app keeps nagging for a review every time you run it. And it keeps saying that there's a firmware update available, but this consistently fails.So overall not that impressed. Will be considering returning it.It's a shame as it seems to be the only 2 gang Alexa enabled switch I could find.

The switch is fine, despite the rather gross need for the logo on the front bezel (why??) but the app is just diabolical. Clearly originally aimed at the Apple market it seems they have attempted to make it work on Android and Google Home. Well good luck. I gave up trying on Android so resorted to my wife's Apple devices to get it on their app then connected to Google Home. To get to this point took about 3-4 hours excluding installing the switch.Then because we have different Google accounts it wouldn't listen to me or let me configure it - I'm only the one who sets it up and manages the network so why can't I? So after another few hours of uninstall, reinstall to try to get it to work on multiple accounts (using the same App login) I gave up and went for an uninstall. Well if you don't do that in a particular sequence you get to do that again, and again, but in fairness Google played some part in that.So after finally uninstalling the app, reinstating the original non-wifi switch, what thanks do I get? Complete network failure and disconnect from the internet. I had to reboot the router and reconnect every device (20) to the router again to get my network back to what it was before using the Koogeek Home app.In summary, stay away from it, more particularly if you don't have Apple devices, it is just rubbish!

Being new to the smart switch world and not fully appreciating what 'Needs a Neutral' actually means...I wasted my money..The switch looks great but I'll probably never use it. I'm assuming my house like the millions of others in the UK, don't have a neutral line to the light switch and if like my house, 'borrowing' one from somewhere .would result a re-wire of the light switch from which ever junction box the switched live comes from.... so I won't be pursuing this particular type of switch. There are a couple of suppliers now producing switches that don't need a hub or a neutral but do dimmers just on/off switches.... so I'm having another think about where to go from here... I can understand why Koogeek don't mention that their switch won't work in the majority of UK cases as it would obviously forewarn the more ignorant like me.... but needless to say I won't be buying anything else from Koogeek….
