Title: No neutral, requires a hub – but fantastic quality.
Review: I had some old light switches that controlled my dining table light, and ceiling lights in the lounge that I wanted to incorporate into my smart home. Instead of adding unnecessary traffic on my WiFi network by adding a bunch of WiFi light bulbs, I added a paid of these to the light switches instead. These were easy to swap out, look amazing and operate flawlessly.The pros of doing it this way:* Much lower cost that replacing all the light bulbs with smart light bulbs* Doesn’t add unnecessary load on a crowded WiFi network* Maintains the light switch functionality as before – toggles the lights on and off as normal* Avoids issues that might occur if you turned off a light switch with smart bulbs – you’d lose control over them. This problem doesn’t exist in this caseThe cons:* Zigbee device and requires an Aqara Hub – I would recommend the M3, although anything from them will work. You can also use third party Zigbee hubs, and integrate into Home Assistant for example* No neutral comes with a price premium. Ouch!

Title: No neutral smart switch
Review: If you do not have a neutral, this switch works great. It easily paired with the Aqara hub. I then set it up in Home Assistant.

Title: So far best one I’ve tried
Review: Ok so I havent found a switch yet that is 100% perfect however this one is by far the closest hasn’t disconnected dosent require internet to work (app control) works well with alexa smart speakers and was easily able to connect to echo 4th gen altho I used a hub as I’ve been testing various aquara devicesPros: dosent stop working when internet is outNo netural makes it perfect for older houses like mine and is slim enough to fit into existing boxCons: button itself feels cheap and floppy works everytime tho with no issueWhen using app or voice control theres an audible *click* but its not bad enough to really knock it as it only happens during on or off operationsOverall I like this switch and will be buying moreI AM NOT IN ANYWAY SPONSORED BY AQUARA AND USED MY OWN MONEY TO BUY THEIR PRODUCTS

Title: Good value for the money
Review: I bought the Aqara single rocker switch because I needed a switch that didn’t require a neutral and supported either Zwave or Zigbee so I didn’t need to buy yet another hub. The switch is fairly compact for a smart switch though I still had to be very careful about making sure it wasn’t installed too snugly, as the rocker switch will stop responding if there is too much pressure on the sides of the switch, but once I got it installed setup was a breeze. I use a Conbee II Zigbee controller and this paired with it without issue, so no need for the Aqara hub if you don’t need the features (ie Homekit, Alexa, etc).Overall it’s good value for the money, works well, and is easy to setup. I took a star off because it looks and feels very cheap and plasticky.

Title: Not good enough. Low quality hardware on a kludgy platform.
Review: We purchased a hub and seven of these switches for our home in Aug 2020. They have a cheap feel and are deep so don’t fit the standard wall boxes well on install. We dealt with that because the value for the money was high and once they were working on theory you wouldn’t need to touch them much as Siri would be doing all the switching. Setup was easy into their app but clunky in HomeKit. Our initial impression was: acceptable but not extraordinary in any way.Now it’s November 2020 and the switches are failing. They drop connection to the hub, fail to respond, forget their configuration, and turn themselves off and on randomly. The poor build quality on the physical switch now seems like a big deal because we’re back to manually controlling our lights a lot of the time.We went with these because they don’t require a neutral wire (hard to find) and we could afford to do a bunch of them. We really wish we’d have saved a little longer and gone for a higher quality product. We won’t be purchasing any more Aqara smart home products.

Title: Insane Value, High Polish, Easy Open Integration
Review: I very rarely write reviews, but I came back to give these five stars because it’s absolutely criminal that their average rating isn’t higher. Here’s the tl;dr: if you have no-neutral wiring in your home and you’re sick of the entire internet smugly telling you that you simply MUST pay a king’s ransom for overpriced, decade-old Lutron Caseta hardware if you want your lights to work, this is what you’re looking for. The polish and build quality is equivalent (I’ve used both and Caseta is moving away from no-neutral, so their remaining switches in that area are starting to look pretty dated while still costing an arm and a leg). These give you the same thing while costing a third less per switch, not requiring their hub if you already have another, and they frequently go on sale.As you can probably tell, I’ve been really frustrated with this “luxury” smart home market where every brand is ignoring existing standards in favor or separate, proprietary walled gardens where you need five different redundant hubs and every feature is an add-on charge in practice. My generic, privacy-focused solution to this has been to search for brands that use Zigbee connectivity, and connect them to my Home Assistant hub instead of their own. Some brands try to stop you from doing this, Aqara does not (aside from their door lock, which needs the hub for security reasons). It was even easier than I expected to install these and set them up in Zigbee2MQTT. But they surprised me by also including literally everything you need (fancy screwless faceplate, screws for both the switch and the underside of the plate, wire nuts) and having MORE features than advertised, even when I installed their switch into another system instead of theirs (many brands artificially prevent other Zigbee coordinators from accessing their more advanced features).I was able to choose whether the indicator light activates when the switch is on or off, decide what it should do after a power outage, choose between quick response mode and anti-flicker mode, and most impressively, choose between it working as a literal switch or decoupling from the circuit, leaving that always-on, and controlling smart lights through the zigbee connection instead. That last one is hugely useful for a lot of setups, and is something I thought I had to pay twice as much for Inovelli Blues to get.Lastly, I don’t really get people complaining about how the button function feels. It’s a single rocker switch, and it feels like you’d expect one large single button to feel. I actually kind of like how light the press is. The build quality looks solid to me, and if you use their included plate, the whole thing looks really clean. The plate is slightly smaller than an average switch plate, so it looks really cute while still covered the whole switchbox without any issue

Review: I’ve had many smart switches over the years, so far this is by far my favourite.Great value for price.The kit comes with a very attractive exterior cover plate, which you can simply not use if you’re in a multi-gang box, plus 3 wire nuts and 4 screws. It’s not abnormally deep, like some other smart switches. It’s shallower than a regular GFI receptacle.Installation is a straightforward replacement. Note, however, that you will need a ground, so check to make sure you have one. You might not if, for example, your switch is in a plastic old work/remodel box, and they didn’t bother to run grounded Romex into it.The switch requires their Zigbee hub – it is not wifi. It says so in the description, but it’s worth reiterating.It paired with my hub in 3 seconds. When commanded by Alexa or Google it switches within a second. When using the Aqara app it’s as fast as using the physical switch – because it’s local to your home system.That’s one thing I really love about the Aqara ecosystem: control is local to your network by default and doesn’t rely on a cloud server, except for extended features like remote control outside your home, or getting cloud data, like weather or sunrise times. So, if your internet goes down you can continue to run local automations and control your lights, for example, on a door or motion sensor or the app (if you’re home).

Review: Love this switch!Retrofits into old homes with no neutral has simple one paddle operation so it fits in with decor and you don’t need to give guests a 30 minute course on how to use it when they visit for the first time.Switches quickly locally and via zigbee and always reliableIt’s a little bulky so it might be a tight squeeze in some boxes

Review: facile a installé je n’ai pas eu de misère à l’ajouter à home assistant via zigbee2mqtt. mais malheureusement elle semblait défectueuse. Impossible d’allumer ma lumière que se soit avec le bouton ou par mon application. j’ai eu aucun problème à me faire rembourser.

Review: Why I need to buy hub? I just wanted to manage one single switch, and now asking me to pay extra for hub otherwise wireless function doesn’t work.

Review: Among my observations is the superior quality of Aqara Smart Home products, from packaging to the products themselves. The installation took only a few minutes, 3-5, once I prepared. The (Zigbee) Aqara Smart Wall Switch is linked effortlessly to the Aqara Hub2 and supports my Apple Home Kit. In addition to smiling while playing with the LED Ceiling Light 💡 Switch icon in the Home Kit app, the voice command instructing Siri to turn on or off the new switch went flawlessly. Five stars🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
