There are WiFi switches on the market that don't require a neutral wire, and are part of the Tuya Smart Life system

Great vid, thanks! Can I use the 3 separate buttons to add routines in Google Assistent? So this way I can change a scene and control my Hue lights?

[@andycoyle8244]

I have been looking into these and all smart switches seem to have a large control box on the reverse there is no way this will fit into a standard uk light switch back box without alterations? I have a three gang 2 way switch I’d like to make smart and there just isn’t the room in the back box with the cables too. I have smart plugs which work without the hub via Alexa echo and dot devices. Is the hub absolutely necessary?

[@tadghsmith1457]

I'm not sure if I have a neutral wire or not. I have a brown wire a blue wire and a yellow/green wire. Is one of those a neutral?

[@GeekStreet]

I'm assuming you haven't from what you have mentioned, to be on the safe side best to ask an electrician.

[@tadghsmith1457]

Thanks!

[@2395ryan]

Pretty sure blue is neutral, brown is live, yellow green is earth

[@mittensthecat2582]

thank you so much for this video....last year i tried to install smart switches only to find it needed a neutral supply. then I tried to link it to earth but it would trip the MCBs every time. So glad to discover this product exists.

You only needed to rewire your switch with 3 core and earth cable or drop a natural from your light

I would really like this setup on my switch but when I do it the strip lights do not come on or off, not sure if I have setup the when condition is met turn on led and when turn off. The lights on the switch are all on to start off with so not sure I done them the wrong way around any further help be great on being able to use the extra switch to do other usful thing. Thanks for your video!

Hey geek street. I installed a 1 gang switch successfully boots going to install a 2 gang. I have four wires for two sets of lights (in my switch all wires are the same brown colour). Do I put both commons together, or will the switch get power from just the one common to power the two lights (only three inputs on the smart switch itself. Many thanks!

[@wheelogger357]

Hey, i find your videos very informative. Please could you guide on where i can find no neutral smart DIMMER switch (google compatible). The smart switches with no neutral are really impossible to find with the dimmer function? Thanks

[@leopold7562]

I'll be honest, I'm not normally a fan of these glass switches as they tend to look a bit tacky, but this one is definitely one of the better ones. With no neutral and Zigbee, these should be a winner. That said, I still prefer the Aqara switches, which are very understated and the clicky factor means they have more family approval. I do agree with you on getting more switches on them than you need, as it makes for a very neat solution without needing to stick up extra buttons everywhere.

[@WintermuchieChannel]

man those switches are really cool! great equipment!

[@Ormany1]

I bought a black smart switch for three lights but when I connect it, it does not work and one of the lights flickers and the others don't work. what am I doing wrong?

[@chandranv5420]

Good stuff. Watched this video several times. Bought myself some touch smart switches recently and swapped out a 2 gang tradition switch (one of the gang to power up the ceiling fan and the other for the lights fixed to the fan) with a 3 gang touch smart switch. The fan speed and the lights can be controlled by the fan remote controller as well. Now the new switch works with Google assistant voice control. Great! Just one thing, though. I hear a purr (sound) when I touch the gang that is not connected to any device. Why is that? Any ideas? Thanks.

[@accvdre]

Hello I have a couple of questions. Will these work with IKEA Tradfri lights? I have a 2 gang switch (2 sets of cables). How would I wire those with this? Do I put both the live wires in L and both the switched live in L1 or one in L1 and another in L2?

[@matthijsschreuder9904]

These switches are nice! Good review! Can it be any Zigbee hub ? Which one do you recommend for these switches ? Some have Zigbee 3.0, some don't mention it, is it all backward compatible ?

It's the same for most smart switches. The nearest I've been able to get to fitting in the standard box is the Aqara, and even that needs a spacer.

It would be a good idea to get one with more buttons on than the number of switches that you need, BUT this doesn't work well. I did that with mine and it causes the lights to flicker. I checked the instructions and it says "Please install the corresponding number of lights according to the switch button, otherwise the light will flash" So unfortunately not good advice. I now have two of these that are limited use.

[@dhruvchagger9362]

What else can you do with a zigbee gateway?

[@GeekStreet]

You can add in other Zigbee devices like PIR sensors, Door Sensors etc. The Advantage is the range is longer than WiFi.

[@reviewassistant6891]

@@GeekStreet it is possible for more range, that statement might get someone to buy a hub and 1 zigbee device and put them a mile apart scratching there head :D

[@darrenelkins5923]

To clarify - does a zigbee hub reach further to a device than a wifi router would? Or is the extra distance dependant on a daisy chain of devices? I'm trying to workout if an echo plus - which I believe to be a zigbee hub - will talk to a switch in our detached prefab garage some 10 metres away as the crow flies but with one inside house wall plus one outer house wall and one prefab concrete wall, in between. Our router, which is across the room from Alexa, but further away from the garage, will talk to a tablet next to the proposed light switch location. I'm unclear if a zigbee switch will need another zigbee device closer to Alexa to repeat with? In other words, if the wifi signal gets there, does that suggest a zigbee signal should def get there over the same distance from its relative hub? Cheers

[@GeekStreet]

Zigbee range is further than wifi but the more things than are in the way like walls etc then this will impact the range.
