QIACHIP Smart Switch, 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi Light Switch, Smart WiFi Switch Wireless Remote Control Timer Switch Relay 110V 220V Home Automation Module, Works with Alexa and Google Assistant, No Hub Required

I needed a relay to control lights using an App or a smart speaker, as well as a remote switch, and this was one of the few that provides this functionality with a real switch and also supports the SmartLife App. I prefer this App to the other (e We Link, which is used by Sonoff, is junk).Received the product, was able to set up the App in less than 5 minutes, but in spite of following the switch pairing instructions, it would not work.I emailed the seller and received a response in a few hours, asking me to check the battery! I had assumed this was a kinetic switch, like a few others, which work by using the pressing force to charge up an small capacitor and power itself. Turns out this one needs a battery..! The second issue - there's no obvious way to open up the switch!Emailed the seller again and received a response in minutes.. However even though I figured it out finally, the instructions were badly worded..So, here's the tip: Use a flat screwdriver or knife to force open the switch at the bottom where there's a sizable gap. Once you do, you will need to insert a CR 2032 button battery cell, facing down. Press the little button in the circuit board and you will see a blue light if you have done things correctly.. Snap the top back on, do the pairing (press the button on the received 8 times, see the flashing lights, press twice more, steady light, now press the **switch** once, and the red light on the *receiver* will blink, and you are all set!Will install tomorrow and update if there are any issues with range.. Overall seems to be good, better than the Sonoff in quality.. Hopefully it will last!Recommended product and seller!

Installed this inside the housing of a room to room fan and connects to Google assistant perfectly to turn on/off via voice command .

Last year I installed some LED Lights in my closet. I added them to my Alexa commands and by simply saying "Alexa, turn on closet" I could easily find what I was looking for,But, there is no switch. And if Alexa had decided to take a sick day, I could not switch these on or off.Not any more! That switch sticks to the wall, or anything flat, and works just like a traditional switch!So if you lose your voice (or if Alexa loses her hearing!) and you lose your phone, you can simply press the switch.What appears to be a minor step back is in fact a HUGE step forwards.
