GHome Smart Switch,Smart Wi-Fi Light Switch Compatible With Alexa And Google Assistant 2.4Ghz, Single-Pole,Neutral Wire Required,Ul Certified,Voice Control And Schedule, No Hub Required (4 Pack)

So far, I have installed two of the switches. Very reliable switches. They work very well, and the app control is user-friendly with different formats of control. I would like to buy more but I discovered the seller crazily increased the price by over 250% to $100. Then, I totally don't think it worths that new price.

We’ve been transitioning away from Insteon and decided to give the GHome Smart Switches a try—and I’m so glad we did! These switches are fantastic and a fraction of the cost of some other brands. The installation was quick and straightforward, and they connected to the app immediately without any hassle. The integration with Alexa and Google Home works seamlessly, and it’s been so convenient to control the lights with voice commands or through the app. The switches are UL certified, which adds peace of mind, and the 4-pack is a great value for the price. If you’re looking to make the switch from other expensive brands, these are highly recommended for their reliability, ease of use, and affordability!

Devices work as intended. However, setup was a little challenging even thought the instructions make it look as easy as 1,2,3 and it wasn't. The great part is that customer service is very helpful and everything in the end was great. I'm happy to have purchased these devices. Notes: 1. Make sure when connecting these devices thru your smart phone, that your smart phone is connected to the same WIFI you want to connect the light switches to. I have multiple WIFI's and that was a time consuming issue to figure out. 2. When using the Gosund app to connect your switches, every time i tried to connect, the app said it wasn't successful and it times out. This is is not true, even though the app times out, I learned that the switches were connected regardless of this error. This wasted a lot of my time of trying to reconnect my switches when they were already connected. 3. When connecting these switches to Google Home, make sure you label the switches correctly, and I found that connecting one switch at a time works best instead of waiting for all of the switch to be active online at one time.

These exceed expectations, easy to install and they come with extension wires in case your existing wiring isn't long enough. Software wise, they install even easier than the previous versions and integrate with Alexia and Google Home well. The only downside that I can list is that the extension wires are solder tinned so that they are solid instead of stranded, making it difficult to wire nut them to the solid house wiring. This is mostly a personal preference and not necessarily a safety issue. Just make sure that the wire nut is secure and doesn't come off easily.

I have lots of Gosund smart plugs and have had no problems with them, so I didn't hesitate to get Gosund smart switches. I had one issue: my router has both 5G and 2.4G networks, but both have the same wifi name, and I can't directly control which speed my phone uses when it connects: it always picks 5G if I'm close enough to my router. However, these devices only work if your phone is connected to the 2.4G network. The instructions explain how to give your 5G and 2.4G networks different names, but that's old-school; things have gotten better these days. The good news is, there's a workaround (and it's sad that the instructions don't mention this.) I had to pair the devices at the end of an extension cord, outside my house. I brought up my (Android) phone's wifi settings and clicked on my network name, which showed the current status (5G vs 2.4G, and signal strength, etc.) I found a place where the connection went from 5G to 2.4G, and walked a bit farther in that direction. I put a wire nut on the switch's red wire and plugged the black and white wires into the extension cord, watching the LED on the switch to make sure it was connected. I then followed the instructions. I believe it would have worked fine to install the switches first, and then just walk with my phone out to the same spot (no extension cord.) But I wanted to make sure they'd work before wiring them in. Plus it's helpful (though not necessary) to be nearby so I can see the LEDs during the process. Once paired, there is no need for my phone to be on the 2.4G network, and after installation, everything works perfectly. Integration with Google Home is easy; once you give the permissions between Google and the Smart Life app, any Smart Life devices automatically appear in Google Home. (The only problem with the Smart Life app is that it does NOT provide a way to move a device to a new home: you have to delete it and add it again. That was a nuisance when I moved. In the future I won't be using the "home" features of Smart Life. But this is not Gosund's fault, and it's not really a problem because I can use the Google app's features for which device is in which home.) I have other smart devices that don't need my phone to be on a 2.4G network, and that saves a bit of trouble, so while I like Gosund products, I doubt I'll be buying more of these particular switches.
