Smart Dimmer Switch Single Pole, Meross Smart 2.4GHz WiFi Light Switch for Dimmable LED, Compatible with Alexa Google Assistant and SmartThings, Neutral Wire Required, Remote Control Schedule,1 Pack

Replaced and under cabinet kitchen lights switch. Works great and Im was/am really impressed with the easy of installation, both physical and app. Physical installation was simple enough at the switch has your standard two connections (line & load), so that part was easy as it doesnt matter which wire connects to which lead on the switch, which are labeled well on the switch. As I was installing this in a two gang box I had a power plug, next door, which gave me access to a neutral wire, which is required for the smart part of the switch to work. Please make sure you have a neutral wire in the box you are installing the switch in, otherwise it wont work, unless of course you run a new neutral (either from the panel or from a closer location. If you do that please follow your local municipalities electrical practices or high an electrician). The app worked well better than I thought it would, which is a very nice plus. It quickly found the device and within minutes I was able to turn on/off & dim the lights. I opened Google Home (my preference) and added Meross to my home and the switch was there. Ive been testing both the Hey Google and the app incessantly and neither has failed yet, which is very impressive. Overall great product, great integration to my smart home and simple enough installation. Im very pleased.

Package comes with 2 switches. I used the Meross app to add the dimmer switch and added it to Apple Homekit without any issues.The app has a lot of really nice features including setting the minimum brightness so your lights always come on when power is turned on. I have been using them for about 10 days now and have no issues. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone wanting to setup 3 way smart switches.

The switch will only set up through the Home app and will not connect with the Meross app. Which makes it unusable with alexa

This light switch replaced and old Intermatic model that you had to program at the switch. Was a little cumbersome to make schedule changes to the Intermatic. Just another FYI - the switch has status indicator lights, even a red one, when switched to off. Therefore, if you putting in a room where you prefer completed darkness you will have to make a compromise or McGyver a solution. Other posts have indicated that this was not always the case. Overall happy with this Black Friday purchase.

I have both Lutron and now this product in my house...this product is cheaper than Lutron and at the end doing what it supposed to do, but it isnt comparable to the Lutron Cassetta which in my own opinion is a much better product. First when installing it for some reason which is not clear to me and didnt have the patient to explore why, I couldnt attach one of the wall plates to the switch, no matter what I did it kept popping out. Eventually I took the other wall plate (it is a 2 switches pack) and it fits without any problem. When I dry tested the problematic plate on the other switch, it did fits properly...not sure what was going on here. I also think the switch is very big and you might have a problem fitting it in a standard 1-gang box, I did and had to cover the little space left between the plate and wall with silicon. As for the functionality of the switch here are my takes and comparison to the other switches I have from the Lutron brand: 1) This switch has 3 buttons, power, dimmer-down, and dimmer-up. To turn on the switch you can only press on the power button, pressing on the dimming button will do nothing. I find it very in-convenient as you always find yourself rubbing the switches trying to figure out the lower power button. ** Lutron has 4 buttons, On, Off, dimmer-down, and dimmer-up. You can click on On button to turn on the switch in full/max light strength. Clicking on the on the dimming buttons will turn the lights On in low light. 2) With Meross, Every time you turn the light On it turns On in the last dim settings it was set to. Sound like not a big issue but after a week using it it is very annoying. ** With Lutron, Clicking On button always start with max light. Starting clicking on the dimer button will start low. 3) The response time of the Meross is very slow, you click a button and theres a short delay...short but annoying. ** Lutron is much more responsive, almost on spot. 4) The layout of the buttons on the Meross is very in-convenient. The power button at the bottom, dimmer down in the middle, and dimmer up at the top. The problem is with the design, all buttons are very close together and has the same size and thickness which like I mention before, when room is dark, you need to rub the switch in order to locate the power button. ** On Lutron, the power On button is on the top, power Off button is at the bottom, the dimmer up/down buttons are in the middle (right & left). At the end, I didnt bother installing the other Meross switch and will wait until I have the budget to buy the Lutron switches.

I was able to install both 3way switches and set the switches in less than an hour. The two switches in the box are actually not identical. One has a neutral (white) wire and the other dont. I had a quick question to confirm my understanding and they responded to my email within a few hours. Great company and would check out their other products.

Including: • turns your lights on and off. Check • dims your lights. Check • undims your lights. Check • works with Alexa. Check, although whether Alexa works is a different story. The only way I could get it to work in my daughters room is if I changed her name to Brian. • works with Google. Check. Although running back and forth to Vital Statistics to change my daughters name to Brian and back again depending on which smart device I want to use is going to be a real pain. • easy to install. Well, yeah, pretty much. The instructions (which, by the way, are printed on the box—dont waste your time hunting around the house to see if you dropped them, like I heard some people did) simply say to use the Meross app. Which is a lot more useful than youd think. About eight screens worth of clear diagrams. The most important ones have been reposted in these reviews. If youve spliced wires together before using wire nuts (included), installation is pretty easy, once you understand what all the pictures are of. (I thought the switch was an iPhone for a long while.) There is only one diagram you really need, the one that shows how to connect the four switch wires to the four colors of wires in your junction box. The only trouble I had with installation was this step…the diagram tells you to hook one of the switch wires to a wire that will be either black or red, another to a wire that will be either black or brown. Well, the wires in my house are bare copper, white, black and…black. So two black wires, both coming from the same direction in the junction box, no red, no brown. So I just shrugged and picked a black wire at random, pretty sure (OK, hoping) that it wouldnt matter too much if I got it wrong (by the way, I dont think this is a common practice with actual electricians). Of course with 50-50 odds I lost. The switch did nothing. But, no sparks came shooting out of the wall toward my eyes, so I was heartened enough to take the switch back out, switch the black wires, and try again. And then everything was fine. The switch gave me a quick little light show to let me know it was working and to show off a bit, frankly, and that was that. If not for the two-black-wires snag, the installation wouldve taken about ten minutes or so. Thats not including adding the device in the app. Which was also pretty easy, but as I had bought a few Meross Wi-Fi outlet switches before, I already had the app, so it was just a matter of telling the app I was adding a new dimmer switch, and that was basically that. I didnt have to type in the Wi-Fi password again or anything. Basically my phone pointed double fingers at me and said, Gotcha covered. (This actually happened.) Then I had to go to Google and Alexa and add the devices there. That was also really quick and painless. Until, as I mentioned, I tried to get Alexa to understand my kids name, so if youre trying to decide between Google and Alexa, advantage: Google. Sorry, Amazon. :-S • You do need to have a neutral wire. Now me not being an electrician at all (maybe you could tell?), this was very confusing to me. In my wall Ive got sheaths that each contain a wire, and another wire, and a naked metal wire. I assume ones hot, ones cold, ones ground. I think but I wouldnt swear that blacks hot, whites not, and Im almost positive that bare copper is ground. But I dont know if any of them are neutral or not. And I dont know how to tell; they all seem nice enough. And the fact that Meross thinks I should be finding red or brown wires in my walls makes me wonder if I should trust their judgment. But this is the Age of Readily Available but Highly Questionable Information on the Internet. From what I found out, if you have a house built after 1980 or so, youve most likely got neutral wires in your wiring. Which wire? The white one. Whats the difference between it and a not-hot wire? I dont know. But basically, if you open up your junction box and it looks like the picture on the Meross app, youre good to go. And to be extra safe, I described my setup to Meross, and they wrote me back very quickly and assured me that I had what I needed to make the switch work. So I took a deep breath and went ahead and connected it (again, not how electricians do it), figuring if the switch didnt work out and my house burned down, well, thats a scathing one-star review for Meross. • it does remember the setting you last set it at, contrary to what another reviewer said. If you set it to half-bright on the wall, when you turn the light off and back on it comes up half-bright. Whats more, if you open Google or Alexa, they both show the light as half-bright. If you tell the Google app to turn the brightness to 20% and open the Alexa app, you will see the brightness is at 20% there too. And vice versa. So I had no troubles with the switch losing its memory. • the switch fit my junction box, no troubles there. The switch plate is pretty flush to the wall…maybe I wouldve liked it a smidge closer, but I dont think anyone but me would ever notice. But its not like its uneven or anything. The plate snaps onto the switch rather than screwing on, which is a bit clunky. • I had no delay in turning on the light. Unless you count the light quickly ramping up from dim to full brightness; it starts out dim and very quickly brightens to full in less than a second. I thought that was kinda cool, a feature, not a bug. • the light on the switch is bright enough to see and help you find the switch in the dark (if you cant remember that its where it always is, by the door), but its not bright enough to keep you awake, in my opinion. When its dark in the room, the bottom light glows a pale orangey-red. I have had devices with LEDs so bright I had to break out the electrical tape, but this is a subtle glow and wouldnt bother me. I do wish that the Meross app allowed you to do things like cut off the LEDs altogether, just because some people would prefer that, and why not allow you to? It couldnt be difficult to code that option in. Or change the maximum brightness level; you can change the maximum dimness, why not the maximum brightness too? Most people wouldnt care, but its an easy feature to add for those that would. • I fail to see why using wire nuts in wiring a switch is a problem. Thats how you do it, isnt it? (Again, not an electrician.) CONCLUSION: I would give it four and a half stars, but since I cant, and since the reasons for my half-star penalty wouldve been quibbly, five stars. Does what it says it does, works, not hard to install. Ill edit my review down if I have any trouble with it. Full disclosure: I received this switch for free in exchange for giving a review of it, but I didn’t go easy on them for that. They just asked for a review, period, not a favorable or five-star review. I just gave the switch that rating cz thats what I think it deserves.

Great reliable three way switch with dimmer solid HomeKit reliability I have several of the switches which never have gone into the red “no response” mode that I have had problems with other brands Comes with everything you need to install it and a new switch cover which I like snaps in place and no screws looks clean solid purchase will be buying more in the future Also they have great customer service was quick responses

I paired two dimmer switches side by side in a double wall box and named each one. I also grouped them and gave the group a name. Now that Ive connected them with the Alexa app, I can speak to turn up or down the lights of either single switch, or by the group name it adjusts both lights at the same time. They are also easy to use manually and the 5 leds on each switch shows the level of the light from dim to bright. These are exactly what I wanted, they work perfectly. I mixed up the black and brown wire on the 2nd one I installed and it didnt work at all. Once I realized my mistake and corrected the problem, they work fine.

I was really excited to get these because of all of the great reviews. Unfortunately, I am disappointed with my purchase. I just installed one of these switches and immediately noticed that the minimum dim level is not nearly as dim as my lutron dimmer. I enjoy having very dim lights while watching TV at night so I can still see my surroundings, but also not blind me and glare on the TV. My picture shows the comparison of the Lutron dimmer (left) and the Meross dimmer (right) both set to their minimum levels. The lights are exactly the same so this is strictly the dimmer causing the difference. Excuse my mess, I am in the middle of a remodel. I will likely be returning these switches because the minimum dim level is very important to me. I still left 4 stars because everything else worked very well. Google integration was easy, installation was easy, and the Meross app was very easy to use.
