House Hacks- Wifi Light Switch

This Sunday brings a super quick project- a wifi controlled smart light switch!
 

This was a really straight forward install and setup. Simply remove the old switch, patch in the new one and start the setup!

We decided on the switch versus plug since it can still operate as a manual switch; the plug cannot. We would buy a dozen of these, but they do not work on three way switch circuits just yet. Another caveat is 2.4Ghz wifi support only. Good thing we opted for a dual radio hot spot.

The app download and setup is very straight forward. You can opt to have local control only if you don’t want to set up an account, which is a nice feature. It has scenes and schedules available to program too.
