WiZ Connected Remote Light Switch, Works with All WiZ Products, Turn Lights On or Off, Brighten or Dim Room, Control Switch, 1 Pack

I’ve read many reviews about these remotes getting hot. But no one mention the kind of batteries they’re using. When you open the compartment to install the batteries- it says in big letters inside-FOR USE WITH ALKALINE BATTERIES ONLY (LR03) - it also comes with 2 of them. I’ve enclosed foto of that. Don’t replace the batteries with lithium ion batteries or anything but alkaline LR03. For the good stuff-the remotes are awesome. Pair easily and you can set 4 different modes then adjust the brightness by pressing the plus or minus to increase or decrease dimming. It’s that simple, you just have to set your favorite modes up in the app and that’s it. They will be available on your remote. Another thing to note is, they will control the bulbs that they are connected to for example, if you only have one bulb in the room and you pair it with that, it will control that one bulb but if you group all the bulbs together, let’s say you have seven bulbs in the room, and you put them in a group, they will all be controlled by the remote simultaneously. Whatever color you choose, all of those seven bulbs will be exactly the same brightness or dimness, depending on what you do. If you have two groups of lights in the room, they will only control one group just keep that in mind unless you group all of the lights together. For the price, you can buy enough to power all your lights on in your house if that’s what you want to do. They connect quickly and easily, and the price was great. I purchased more than one for this very reason. In addition to the four modes that you have for colors, there’s also a moon button on the remote and that is a nightlight. You have two options for the remote, you can leave your light switches on ( standby) and just control the ON - OFF with the remote or you can shut the switch that controls your lights and then when you turn them on with the switch, you can let the remote take over. Really love having these remotes in the house for different lights as our house only has WiZ lights so more WiZmotes made sense. Definitely recommend!

I have 3 of these remotes in my house to control lights in different rooms. I absolutely love them. It makes these lights infinitely more convenient, and since it links directly with the lights, they work consistently and quickly since they don't have to go through any servers first. That being said, WIZ lights have some serious reliability issues. Some have lasted me 5 years, no problem, and some I've had to replace after 6 months. I still keep buying them since the peripherals are good, though.

It's nice to be able to change the lights without using the app. Been using my two for more than a year with no problems. I wish it had more presets than 4.

The Wiz remote light switch works with Wiz Smart Bulbs to allow you to turn them off and on and set one of four programs. The remote is the size of most remotes for TVs etc. and has a few buttons on the face. You can connect it to a single light bulb or to all the bulbs in a room. (When you install Wiz Smart Bulbs you can choose a room that they are in and then control all the bulbs at once based on the room.) The basic function is on or off. However there is a button for "night light" mode and a + and - control for brightness and four other buttons. Each of the four buttons can be programmed to set the light(s) to a pre-determined setting such as daylight, warm white, relaxing, etc. When the bulbs are installed and connected to the app you just go into the app and add the remote switch. Then while in the app you choose what each of the four customizable buttons does. It makes it easy to choose from one of the presets. After connecting everything up (bulbs and remote switch) which takes only minutes and choosing the programs for the lights the switch is ready to use and you don't have to use the app to control those settings. However all the same things could be done using the app on your smart phone. The one drawback and the reason for four stars instead of five is the the remote can be used for only one room. If you have set up multiple rooms and want to use a remote for each room you will need to have a remote for each room, you can press a button and switch the remote to a different room. I have found the remote to be reliable, it has never failed to control the lights in the room we set it up in. Connectivity is great and easy to set up. The price is good (so purchasing more than one isn't a big expense but mark the in some way so you know which goes where!

I really like this remote, especially that it has 4 buttons to activate the quick scenes that you set up in the Wiz app. The only thing that I wish they would change is the button layout so this could be used as a wall switch. Yes, you can get a caddy to keep this on a wall, or use a Velcro strip to mount it, but the on/off buttons are too small to work well as a traditional switch. Beyond that, this remote is great! It definitely beats having to dig out my phone, and more importantly, it allows other people to control the light's without needing the app. P.S. It took me a little while to figure this out, but the nightlight button only works if you turn the lights on first. It's the same way through the app, though, so it seems like a limitation of the Wiz lights themselves and not the remote. Seems like an odd quirk, but it's easy to get around once you understand that.

These WiZmotes are great! I use them everywhere. They work well, set up super quick, and allow me to control my lights easier. Overall, a 10.10 product.

Worst gift for a teenager ever! Does not work with standard home WIFI! Poor limited instruction included. Customer service says to downgrade WiFi to link it. Really?! The App and remote will not work without linking to 2.4 WiFi. So these “amazing” smart lights that we installed all over my son’s room as a cool gift…Now just blink randomly in seizure mode with no way to control them other than on and off. A simple set of lights with a working remote would have even been better.

Use it several times a day, a no brainer if you're in the wiz ecosystem. Always connects, setup was easy, value is good, remote itself looks pretty sharp.

Works like a charm was easy to set up.. saves opening a stupid app to use lights.. only issue you can only use it with one group of lights.. so if you have bunch of different areas you would need one per, would be excellent if it had 3 or 4 areas...4 buttons so could charge which set it controls.. that's would be excellent

Very good product. Easy to integrate and use.

After setting this remote up, it just works. I highly recommend it, it's a quality product for a surprisingly reasonable price.

Excelente control, fácil de utilizar, sencillo y es perfecto para regular el nivel de luminosidad del foco, sinceramente lo recomiendo ampliamente

Funciona muy bien, fácil de programar con las luces, de fácil manejo
