Solid WiFi smart switches with good HomeKit and Home Assistant integration
I installed several of these switches (8 total so far) over the past two years as part of a larger smart-home setup running Home Assistant as the primary controller with HomeKit for family-friendly control (aka Wife Acceptance Factor WAF) and they’ve performed very well so far. They connect over WiFi without any stability issues, respond quickly to local commands, and integrate cleanly into both platforms. Once added to Home Assistant, exposing them to HomeKit was straightforward and they show up exactly as expected in Apple Home.From a hardware standpoint, the switches feel solid and the relay action is consistent with no missed presses or delays. WiFi signal strength seems good even in boxes that aren’t especially close to an access point, and I haven’t seen them drop offline since installation. They also continue to function normally as physical switches, which is important in a mixed household where not everyone uses apps or voice control.One tip that made setup much easier:I powered each switch up outside the wall box first, added it to Home Assistant, assigned the final name/location, and then mounted it. Doing this avoids guessing which device is which later, especially if you’re installing multiple switches at once. I also recommend reserving DHCP addresses for them so Home Assistant doesn’t have to rediscover them.Overall, these worked exactly the way I wanted for a Home Assistant + HomeKit environment. Not the cheapest option, but reliable, clean integration, and no cloud dependency once everything is configured. Definitely would - and likely will - buy again.Ver másVer menos
