Great value, works flawlessly, now a fan of "SONOFF"
The media could not be loaded. Written such a long review on here for this product that twice I've lost what I've written (browser update, refreshed my tab without thinking etc.) so I'm going to keep it short and sweet.- Device looks and feels WAY more expensive than it is. Honestly wouldn't have thought it costs £20, seems like a far more premium product.- Fits fine inside of a standard UK lightbox, although it's very deep. I had to trim the earth wire left in my lightbox to the point that it's utterly unusable now.- Screws come with the product, and they were fine for two of my installs, but two of my others needed much longer screws for some reason. Ended up having to buy a pack of "M3.5 x 40mm 1.5".- I'm no electrician (I can just about wire a plug) and managed to install these all by myself. Slightly daunting at first, but actually it's really very simple.- The product doesn't appear to do any smart home integration truly natively, but rather it uses what I suspect is a fairly universal Chinese app called "eWeLink". Not as polished as Samsung Smartthing (main platform of choice) or Google Home (second platform of choice), but it actually is very comprehensive in it's features (more than anything else I've every used) including firmware updates and small things like letting you disable the WiFi / network indicator light or what the default switch positions should be after a power failure etc. Really rather impressed.- Saying that, due to the lack of polish (and God knows what security issues may exist!) I'm of course not using "eWeLink" as my main smartphone interaction app. Thankfully eWeLink has full and comprehensive integration with nearly every mainstream smart home ecosystem. I use Smartthings as my main platform, which eWeLink directly integrates with. As such I can see each switch in Smarthings and use it just as you'd expect with everything supported and working. eWeLink also has native integration with Google Home, Alexa and IFTTT.Whilst I don't use voice assistants, our kids have Google Nest Mini devices in their rooms (for various things but partly to manage their bedroom smart lights and smart lamps). I can (I tested it) have eWeLink directly integrate into Google Home, but instead I have it as:SONOFF -> eWeLink -> Samsung Smartthings - Google Home -> Google Assistant (via Nests mini)May think it'd be super slow and high latency, but it's as good as instant to be honest.On a side note, I have sensors around the house for lights to come on automatically with motion. This works great by using Smartthings together with smart bulbs plus a motion sensor (also in Smartthings). If movement then turn on bulb, if no motion after 2 mins turn off light.). For the smart switches, it works the same, but some of my motion sensors also have humidity sensors built in too. This means I have it setup so that if a bathroom is getting too humid, the SONOFF smart switch turns "SWITCH 2" on, which just so happens to be the extractor fan!Anyway, I digress. These are just brilliant, excellent value for money and I couldn't be happier with the 4 that I brought. (TX0-2 I think for my model).

Not easy to get right first time.
The instructions are vague and most unhelpful. However, I persevered and found most of the answers through Google and Utube. Once I had managed to link the switch to my internet hub which required me to temporarily turn off one of the frequencies it transmits at it worked. Fitting the 2 gang switch into the metal backing box on the wall it soon became clear I was going to have to fit a deeper box, that done the wiring in was straight forward, in order to screw the switch to the box requires the front panel to be removed and in my case dislodging a very flimsy circuit board which is only held in place by two loose locating pins and a very delicate component connecting the circuit boards together.It is now installed and doing exactly what it was bought to do but boy why can’t they supply clear installation instructions?

Good
Happy with this item, lost 1 start due to the glass face plate being ever so slightly wonky so overhangs the plastic backing a few mm. this appears to be a defect but I didn’t bother to send it back. If supplier wants to send me a replacement I’ll update the review!Installed very easily (your home wires need to have a negative)Switch takes the slightest of touches to work which is nice, works seamlessly with Alexa and Alex as routines. I have used my switch for outdoor lights, when ring camera detects motion it sets of an Alexa routine to turn the lights one.Good use is setting outside lights or even internal lights on timer for example! Can also turn lights on and off while not home!Would recommend.

Great for lazy people alike
Got this for the stable conversion since I don't want to get up and down when watching movies etc.Awkward to install if you only have a standard back box but otherwise Easy to setup once it is connected.Note that you need a neutral wire to work it, and that it works off of 2.4ghz wireless
