Installation was a breeze and included all the necessary screws, wire nuts, and wall plates. Once the switch is installed, it is incredibly responsive when physically pushed and through the app. Other thoughts:
PROS:
• Price, Price, Price. These switches are an incredible value! Especially since they can be integrated with Alexa, G- Assistant, and IFTTT.
• Pressing the switch turns on/off the lights instantly. I've noticed that some switches (like Legrand) can have about a 1 second delay before the lights turn on/off. That delay can make using the switch feel a little awkward.
• There is a setting in the app to turn off the LED indicator! This is a simple feature but many smart switches (Kasa and Legrand) don't offer it.
• The app is easy to use. It has great features but not too many.
CONS:
• No native Apple Homekit support. Though, I wouldn't expect that at this price. (I am currently using this switch with Apple Homekit via Homebridge and it's working great.)
• The haptic feedback when physically pressing the switch is a low pitch "thump" instead of a high pitch "click" (like Kasa and Leviton). I prefer the "click" because the "thump" makes the switch feel hollow. Not a big deal, though.
• The plastic on this switch has a matte, off-white finish. Other switches, Kasa for example, have a glossy finish which better matches most standard wall plates. This won't matter if you plan to use the included wall plates, which also have a matte finish.
• This switch uses preinstalled wires instead of terminal screws. Some switches (like Kasa and Leviton) connect directly to the house's wiring using terminal screws. Having pre-installed wires means that you have to connect all four wires on the switch to the four house wires with four BIG wire nuts. If you don't have a lot of space in your electrical box, this could be a challenge.
In conclusion, this switch works great and is well worth the money. I highly recommend it!
