BroadLink Wireless Smart Button, Remote Control Switch for Smart Home Devices and Scene Control, 3-Way Lights Control with Smart Light Switch, S3 Hub Required (No Hub)

The button installed easily, and integrated with Alexa without difficulties. Would be better if the buttons were multi function ie. Click, click and hold, double click. But one click one function.The price however is excellent, so you get what you pay for, the equivalent buttons elsewhere would cost £80

When I received this, it looked as if the box had already been opened, and I couldn't pair the switch without first resetting it. Perhaps someone else already paired it and then returned it?I can see why they would return it, as the switch really doesn't work very well. It seems to 'go to sleep' after a short while, at which point the button presses don't do anything. The switch continues to show as being online in the broadlink app, but the button presses do not appear in the device history. To be fair (if that's what you want to call it...), the device also shows as online when you take the batteries out, so it might just be the broadlink app/service that is a bit rubbish.Rapidly pressing buttons for about 10 seconds seems to bring the device back to life. Having to do that several times a day is obviously a poor user experience, so I'm definitely staying away from this brand from now on.

These are great Alexa 'routine' buttons. The only bug bear is that there are only 4 buttons and no long press or double press options. This means an On and Off takes up 2 buttons. They are reliable, though, with Ivor a slight delay between button press and routine running.

I got this about 2 years or so ago, around the times and before other reviews say that the listing doesn't state that a hub is needed........ but it's RIGHT there on the title of the Amazon listing and mentioned in the quick points below it. This may have been added, however it was there when I bought it :/Overall, it's worked well, it does need a few rapid presses every now and then to wake it up, but the main issue is the lack of double click and long press for more options of control. For example, to control 1 bulb, you need to buttons, 1 for on and 1 for off :/ But apart from that, I haven't had an issue :)
