Amazon Basics Smart Dimmer Switch, Single Pole, Works with Alexa Only, Voice Control, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, No Hub Required, Neutral Wire Required, White

I have at least one of all the Echo devices and numerous switches and plugs by various manufacturers. My home is pretty much as "smart" as I can make it (or want to make it). I tried several manufacturer's switches and the best, most reliable, easy-to-install are by Eufy and Amazon. The most important thing to know is how they respond to a power failure or the internet going down. I have tried switches that you have to basically reset or re-install them individually if you get a power failure. They should come back up quickly and work as though nothing happened when the power comes back on and the internet comes back up. For that reason, I never use smart light bulbs.....when the power goes out, they are ON when the power comes back up. Apparently Eufy no longer sells switches and plugs, but if you have an Alexa environment, Amazon switches are great. They pretty much self install. I only have single pole switches, so I have no experience with the 3-way versions. I have had a lot fun playing with smart switches and plugs and Alexa routines. They turn on my coffee in the morning, control my garage door opener, my gate, cameras, and my thermostats.....and a lot of other things. There are some fun things you can do as well. For example, some years back I bought an old stop light at a recycle center. No circuitry, just the frame with the lights and reflectors. Never done much with it. You can buy a little circuit board that lets you flash the lights in various combinations, but bleah....I wanted it to FUNCTION in some way. As you know, stop lights have a red, yellow, and green. What if I could use Amazon switches and Alexa routines to make it trigger on the garage door? Hmmmm... I purchased three switches and mounted them in a little wooden box and wired them to the three lights in the stop light, calling them "Red", "Yellow" and "Green". The "box" just plugs into the wall providing power to the switches. My garage door opener is controlled by a Meross smart opener. That is, I can open and close it with the Meross app or by Alexa voice. It also supports Alexa routines. I can trigger a routine by the door opening or closing. Cool! I created this routine called "Stop Light" to trigger the lights: When: Garage Door (the name of the device) is unlocked. Alexa will: Red will power on Wait 5 seconds Yellow will power on Red will power off Wait 5 seconds Green will power on Yellow will power off Wait 5 seconds Green will power off. The timing here means that the stop light turns green just as the door is fully open. My wife was delighted! LOL! Love these Amazon Basic Switches. Their plugs are great as well. Pretty much standardized on these.

If you have Alexa, then this is the way to go. Inexpensive and Easy peasy setup!! FYI, the instructions do not explicitly show you how to integrate the 3-way Amazon switch to an existing multi-switch circuit. But it can be done with minor modifications. I installed one on an existing 3-way/4-way/3-way switch circuit for outdoor spotlights. Works great! I was using WEMO devices. They’re expensive and constantly disconnected for no reason. I threw them all away.

This smart switch was easy to install and set up. It connects quickly and works reliably with the app. A simple upgrade that makes daily use more convenient.

I HAD WEMO switches. As far as app and Alexa integration, unreliable. These are different. So nice to have the switches so responsive and I haven't had a hiccup yet. The only thing I haven't figured out yet is setting them up to pow on and off randomly for vacation. Cheaper, easier to set up and more reliable.

The Amazon Basics Smart Dimmer Switch is a solid, no-frills smart home upgrade that does exactly what it promises, especially if you’re already invested in the Alexa ecosystem. It’s designed to be straightforward, dependable, and affordable, and in real-world use, it delivers on those goals very well. Installation is refreshingly simple for a smart switch. As a single-pole dimmer, it’s meant for standard setups, and the instructions are clear and easy to follow. Once wired correctly, the switch feels solid in the wall and operates smoothly. The physical buttons have a good tactile response, and dimming transitions are clean without flickering or hesitation, assuming compatible dimmable bulbs are used. Setup through Alexa is quick and painless. The switch connects directly to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi with no hub required, which keeps things simple and reduces clutter. Once added, it shows up immediately in the Alexa app and is ready for voice control, routines, and automation. Commands like turning lights on or off, dimming to a specific percentage, or including it in routines work reliably and respond quickly. Performance has been very consistent. The dimming is smooth and precise, and the switch doesn’t randomly disconnect or go offline, which is a common problem with cheaper smart switches. Once it’s set up, it just works in the background without needing constant attention or troubleshooting. The Alexa-only limitation is important to note, but if you’re already using Alexa as your primary smart home platform, it’s actually a benefit rather than a drawback. Integration feels native and well supported, and you don’t have to deal with multiple apps or ecosystems fighting each other. For Alexa households, this fits right in. Build quality is better than expected for an Amazon Basics product. The switch feels sturdy, the white finish is clean and neutral, and it blends nicely with standard wall plates and decor. It doesn’t look cheap or out of place once installed. Overall, this is a reliable, well-designed smart dimmer switch that focuses on doing one thing well. Easy installation, smooth dimming, strong Alexa integration, and dependable performance make it a great choice for anyone looking to add smart lighting control without overcomplicating things. If you’re using Alexa and want a smart dimmer that just works, this is an easy five-star recommendation.

Very easy to install and use. Was able to follow the instructions for installing and hook up to wifi and my iPhone. Everything comes with kit, switch and cover plate.

Compre el switch por la garantía de ser de Amazon, sin embargo, batalle un poco en el uso correcto del mismo en la app de Alexa, ya que por mas que lo intente hacer funcionar, no podía. Investigando, encontré la solución, hay que cambiar la dirección de tu cuenta a una dirección de Estados Unidos, haciendo eso, se habilitan otras funciones en la APP de alexa y permite configurar el dispositivo, ya que, con una dirección mexicana no es posible configurarlo.

Works great.

Es un excelente producto , en la caja viene con todos los accesorios para su instalación ( tornillos, etiqueta de señalizado de cables y conectores) el único inconveniente es que no se puede conectar con app de alexa si vives en México. Esto confimardo por las personas de soporte de alexa.

no es compatible la función S-Mart con Alexa en mexico, no entiendo para que lo venden! Funciona solamente como un dimmer tradicional
