WisQo Smart Lighting, 1 Hub & 2 Receiver Starter Kit, Compatible with Alexa

Great idea, perfect solution for many houses which struggle with missing a neutral wire in light switches.My receiver was not working correctly- I had to press the switch a number of times to switch on or off.I woud just ask for a replacement but decided to get a different type.I tested with the app and Alexa - all good.

When we first bought and installed this I loved it. Worked with Alexa perfectly, and was just wonderful. Then the app had an update. Nothing worked. Eventually after a week of fiddling, and eventually totalling uninstalling everything and reinstalling it, it was working again. Back to loving it.And now .. another update. Nothing under the sun will make it work with Alexa, only the app. And because my husband and I both have the app on our phones, if one of logs in, the other seems to be logged out and we have to put the bloody password in again. Hate hate hate hate hate it. Looking for something else now to use for the two light fittings that take bulbs that are too small for a Philips Hue bulb.Also (unlike the Hue bulbs) cutting off and then restoring power to these doesn't turn them on, so if the app isn't working or the internet is down there's no way to get the lights to come on.

Update after another 4 weeks: quite stable wireless control so update to 4 star. Got it for 2 weeks. For it's price I got-£12.9 for switch,£ 12.9 for receiver,£ 24.9 for Hub, pretty good.  I can control the light wirelessly by the switch, and the switch does not require battery. Also, control it on my mobile phone.  Pros-*Stable connection even the power is cut off and turn on again*Wireless switch I can place freely*Battery free switch design quite cool Cons-*Requires a hub. Not really a deal breaker. It also makes the connection stronger as compared to those Wi-Fi switches. *App needs a lot of work. Only on/off and schedule function. *No sun set sun rise function*No timer function*No away mode I will give it 4 stars if the App has more function. I hope they could do an update soon.I will give it 5 stars if it has Echo and IFTTT. So 3 stars, meaning only recommended for people who are in need of the wireless switch function together with mobile control.

Alexa comptability suddenly failed after Wisqo skill update. Nothing Wisqo suggest works, it’s been nearly 2 weeks still no solution. I have been advised that ‘they are waiting for Amazon servers and are unable to correct the problem’. This was 2 weeks ago....still nothing.

A couple of niggles on set up, if you put too many characters in when naming the switch it comes up with an error message but the message does not tell you anything helpful, I found it timed out with an error message quickly when setting up the receiver to the switch. So you have to come out and log back in. When syncing the switch to the receiver make sure you hold it at least arms length away to connect otherwise it wont work. Instructions weren't in English. There is a set up guide on youtube which is ok but could do with a bit more detail. Finally there aren't any double switches available so you will have to use 2 single switches if you have to replace any of these. This has been in use for about a week now and it's good so far. No more lights being accidentally left on.

Brilliant. Just awesome. Really simple to install and set up. We installed it in a bathroom to replace a pull cord switch that only worked when it felt like it. No electricity to the switch (and no batteries either!) means no problems with water and electricity, and it just works. Whoever came up with the switch part is a genius. The receiver is pretty small and will fit in a light fitting alongside the bulb. I'd advise using bulbs that don't get too hot though. I don't know how well it would stand up to that.The wiring is simple and can be done by anyone with half a brain. I'd advise buying your own connectors though, because the ones that come with it are complete crap. Amazon sell these 3-way connectors that work great for the neutral connection, which is a bit challenging otherwise, especially with the crap connectors it comes with. 10 x 2/3/5 Way wago Connector Wire Reusable Spring Lever Terminal Block Electric Cable (3 Way) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0742BHQNQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_B4CTzbG7RQV9V. They save so much time vs ordinary connector blocks. There's no messing with screws, just stick a wire in and flick the little lever down, job done.As if they weren't awesome enough, you can control them from your phone, or via an amazon echo if you also buy the wisqo hub. We haven't, but having seen how good this stuff is, we might in the future. They're so cool I almost want to rewire the whole house with them.

Absolute rubbish had to return items

Ordered this today and couldn't wait to try it! Before messing about with the lights on the ceiling I tried it on a lamp and worked well without Amazon's alexa. So I began installing it. Instructions that come with it are not in English but you can find them online very easily on their website. I just did it without instructions (that's how easy it is).Wasn't really expecting it to be 100% but I was in for a really nice surprise. It works fantasticly well, the whole thing, from receivers to switches to the hub! Its absolutely amazing. I've now ordered more for the rest of the house. App is very good as well. You might struggle linking your app account to the alexa skill but that's down to Amazon, just do it on a computer and it's fine. Absolutely spot on.
