A Switch That's Not Just Smart, But Stylish Too!
You know what they say – it's not just about the brains; it's about the beauty too! I recently got my hands on the LANBON LCD Smart Dimmer Switch 1 Gang L8-HD, and it's so much more than just a dimmer switch. In this review, I'm going to take you on a journey through its sleek appearance, awesome functionality, software updates that keep it sharp, and its fantastic dance with Alexa.Appearance (5/5):When you first lay eyes on the LANBON Smart Dimmer Switch, you can't help but smile. It's like the James Bond of dimmer switches – smooth, stylish, and always ready to impress. The crisp white finish effortlessly blends with any room, and that LCD touch screen? Oh boy, it's not just smart; it's a showstopper! It displays the brightness, date, and time and feels like something straight out of the future – "007 watts of power."Functionality (4.5/5):Beyond its looks, this switch means business. Here's why it's a rockstar in the functionality department:Dimming Delight: Tired of plain old on/off? The dimming capability is the secret sauce. You can set the mood for any occasion, whether you're binge-watching Netflix or working like a pro. It's like having your personal "dim-maestro."App-tastic Control: The LANBON app is your new best friend. It lets you rule the switch with ease. Set schedules, timers, and create scenes to match your daily groove. It's the app that knows how to "switch things up."Voice Magic: It's party time with Alexa and Google Home. Just ask, and the lights obey! "Alexa, dim the lights" has made me feel like I live in the future, where "light" is your command!Lag No More: Thanks to mesh WiFi technology, lag and drops are ancient history. The switch responds quicker than your favorite action movie hero – "no lags, just light-speed."Neutral Wire Required: There's one catch; you need a neutral wire for installation. Ensure your electrical setup is ready to party – after all, every party needs a "neutral" guest.Fitment: these switches are bulky and depending on how deep you backbox is you will probably need a spacer, I live in a new build and it was hit and miss with whether I required one but always used one to keep it consistent throughout the house!Energy Watch: The energy monitoring feature lets you play eco-detective. Keep tabs on your power usage and save money while being kind to the environment. It's like having your very own "eco-spy."Software Updates (5/5):LANBON knows how to keep the party going. They're like the DJ of the smart switch world, always dropping hot tracks (updates) to keep you grooving. These updates fix bugs, add cool new features, boost security, and make the switch perform like it's been to the gym. Updating is a breeze with the LANBON app, and it keeps your switch fresh and secure. It's like your switch's "remix" to perfection!Alexa's Dance Partner (5/5):The best part? LANBON and Alexa make a killer dance duo. With voice commands, controlling the lights has never been this fun. It's like they took the tango to a whole new level, making "Alexa, dance the lights" the catchphrase of your smart home. LANBON's dedication to keeping up with Alexa means you're in for a real treat, like a "voice-activated disco."Overall Verdict:The LANBON LCD Smart Dimmer Switch 1 Gang L8-HD is not just a switch; it's your ticket to a stylish, fun, and high-tech future. Whether you're all about looks, functionality, or seamless integration with Alexa, this switch delivers the whole package. So, don't miss the party – get this switch, and let the good times roll! It's like having your very own smart home superstar, the "electric Elvis" of switches, leading a synchronized light show that will leave you in awe.

Easy to set up. (Additions update)
The media could not be loaded. OK it’s been six years since I retired and started to add smart devices to our home, the old dimmers and switches (as pictured) have started to fail completely or the LEDs went out. Browsing online for replacements and came across this Lanbon smart mesh Wi-Fi dimmer (as pictured).Very pleased to say easy to set up having read the instructions that came with it! works local manual and using google assistance for voice remote control, only down side so far is the mobile app is very slow and only gives the basics of operation (does not access inner menu's) and the PC access which is advertised on the Lanbon site is not there (well would not work for me.) If the issues as stated were not there it would have been a five-star review.Which is a shame as setting up all the parameters via a PC would be brilliant as big fingers on a LCD screen not good for me. This new addition will be tested for its longevity of use, before I try the Lanbon 1/2/3 gang smart switch as replacements for the house switch controls. Further review to follow when I have hope this has helped you if you’re thinking of installing this next generation of smart I/O.Update to Post:26/08/24Since I posted this review I would like to change my opinion on the statement about the APP above, having explored it further I have found the inner menu's to the device parameters who knew three little dots refer to overflow menu's I do now, having looked up on the net! I apologise to manufacture's of the dimmer, all I will say is make the icon's within the app a little larger for us oldies please eye sight not as good as it use to be :-).

Very smart
Good quality unit and can switch on 3 different lighting runs, which some others can only do 2. Nice finish, easy to install and set to your required needs. App is best way to assign a name to the buttons. Can also be changed to 2 gang and 1 gang if needed

Unreliable and poor smart home integration
The switch is phyically well made, however the software is aweful and unreliable.I bought two of these as my hot water cylinder is fitted with two 16amp emersions. I setup the first one ok and connected it to the WiFi, and could see its IP address on my router. The second switch however connects to the first switch over the wifi using a proprietary mesh protocol, meaning it doesn't get its own ip address and has no direct Internet connection. So what's the problem with this, probably nothing if it was reliable but the first switch keeps loosing it's Internet connection and when it does this all of the other switches in its proprietary network become inaccessible too, such that I can't turn either of the emersions on from the app.The second issue is that there is no 'Matter' support or integration with smart home systems such as home assistant. Everything about this switch is proprietary rather than following industry standards.Overall, it's a well made device let down by poor, unreliable software and proprietary networking.Overall, its a well made device let down by poor, unreliable software and proprietary networking.

Impressive - Easy Update to Automation.
I was remodeling one wall with shiplap that had one 3gang and one 2gang switched. Wanted to update and clean up the appearance of out 35 year old wiring. Install was simple. After the wife saw it installed, all the the switch sets in the hall, split entry and basement entrances were next on the agenda. The 7 switch sets had had 8 2-way or 3-way switched. With the ability to link mutual switches to a circuit really was slick. All in stalled in one day. The only issue was finding updated switch plates to place over the 2-gang and 3-gang boxes to mount the one l8 controllers. I'm pretty handy. altered box planks or the old wood plate covers. Looks good to me. (The wife too!. Very important! )Bathroom and walk-in closet will be next.Really had no issues yet...

Simplemente muy bueno.
Existe este Interruptor atenuador pero con Marco doble, con Regulación independiente????Después algo para Charlotte, ese voltaje no es porque este defectuoso,es un retorno de tu instalación, si quieres verificarlo, conecta el Neutro y la fase únicamente y prueba el voltaje entre neutro y L1,L2 o L3 la que prefieras.

Buono ma non perfetto
Solo 3 stelle perché pensavo che luci e tapparelle si potessero gestire insieme, invece non è così, o stai nel menù tapparella non gestendo le luci o viceversa.Quindi se provo a gestire le tapparelle nel menù luci, mi ritrovo con 2 interruttori che aprono o chiudono totalmente le tapparelle senza possibilità di fermarle come vorrei io.Nel complesso comunque un ottimo prodotto, destinato ad una sola delle due funzioni indicate.Non lo ricomprerei
