Summary: I did not like installing this and I don't like the controls. I absolutely HATE that it dims down to off instead of simply turning off. I DO like the pairing mode function, and it definitely works.First off, this is really the only game in town. It's a light switch for circuits with non-smart bulbs, and is designed to properly work with a Hue hub. (The Hue hub is the only hub which works as a standalone unit without the cloud and so the only possible choice for a simple, reliable home control system.) And this switch is not expensive. So you'll be buying this, like it or not. But I'd like an alternative.The Controls: The small on/off button really prioritizes dimming over on/off. That's not what I want in a light switch. The switch aspect should be large and salient, easy to hit without looking, etc. Instead, the dimmer is the big control here, with on/off hard to see/find at the bottom. I could not adjust the dimmer action enough to get darkness at the bottom.The action: When you turn the lights off, it takes a good second to turn off, because it flips through all the dimming settings down to off. This is completely unacceptable. A light switch should turn your lights OFF. If there were a way to opt-in to this behavior, that would be OK, but I would never opt-in. There's no choice. Once again, this is the device screaming to you that it's a dimmer, not a light switch. And it's going to advertise that to you every single time you turn off the lights, like it or not.Install: The install takes a little thinking if you've never installed one of these before, but once you do one, doing a second would require no thought at all. The wires in back are nicely colored and labeled. HOWEVER, the green grounding wire is on the front metal attachment ears and is in the way when you mount, which makes it harder to fit in a box and get settled. They made this poor decision because the ears are the only exposed metal and are grounded anyhow. The rest is a big plastic box. Really, the ground should be a recessed screw on the side of the box.That big plastic box is a problem. It's too wide. So wide that you're NOT going to be able to put this in as a direct replacement in a two switch box. In a two-switch box, you'll have to shift the other switch to the side to compensate for the fact that this switch is too big to fit in the right position. The screws connecting the switch to the box will be going not in the center of the holes provided, but off to the side, because the box is not going to fit into the box at the side. They should get this fixed. And the ground wire placement makes this device much happier on the left side of your two-switch box than on the right side because shoots to the right and it cannot be rotated. Again, that wire should be moved or replaced -- the current position is poorly chosen.But it works. The Hue hub can control it, which means you can turn on and off a whole room of conventional lights using your computers/Echo/Google Home thing/smartphone. And pairing is the best thing I've seen. Other devices should take the example of this one. You hold down the off button for 10 secs and it blinks. You tell Hue to look for new stuff and Bing! there it is. Smart bulbs often require off, then on, then off, then on sequences to get this behavior.So I recommend getting one of these. Try it. Does it work in your boxes? Can you stand the layout of the plastic controls on the front? Can you live with the horrible dimming-off behavior?But I would SO like the company which made this to take a step back and fix the issues above. Because we need this sort of thing in the Zigbee world. We just need it simpler. Honestly, I'd rather have a big on off button in the middle of the switch and two tiny little inconvenient dimmer up and down buttons, because I have a lot of options about where I set dimming -- I have a Hue hub for goodness sake -- but when I want the lights on or off, I want that easy and simple.

The Good▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬1. The installation was very simple, single pole, easy and intuitive2. As expected, a standard cover works perfectly, looks beautiful with screwless wall plates as well3. Since it's zigbee (ZLL Specifically) it pairs to amazon echo plus, hue and smartthings (future compatibility update)4. All features work extremely well.5. Dimmer/On/Off from switch6. Dimmer/On/Off from voice7. Dimmer/On/Off from Alexa app8. Dimmer/On/Off from Hue app9. Pair to lamps via Hue app/ZLL touch linking; so you can tie this zigbee dimmer to a LOAD and pair with HUE Bulbs. First of its kind, innovative, smart, ahead of competition. We use it as 1 dimmer that controls all the basement hue gaming lights/LOAD+LAMPS.10. First slider zigbee smart dimmer on market, long overdue, watch for more amazing innovative products from these guys.The Bad▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬1. When you remotely dim the switch from Hue/Alexa the Slider is stays in the last position left. So if you dimmed it to 20% at the switch, then later from your smart app you set it to 80% the slider isn't accurate. Once you get used to this concept it's okay. Feedback for a v2 is make it Zigbee 3.0 which is backward compatible with ZLL and motorize the slider completely silent (very important)2. Not yet available in Canada3. Smartthings Support not out of the box, but on its wayThe Bottom Line▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Great all around product to Add to any compatible smart home system. It's good, very high quality, it's an even greater value, but it most important, it's an industry first; a zigbee (or zwave/wifi/Bluetooth for the matter) slider dimmer!Fantastic product! Watch this company! Leading in innovative, good customer support and incredible value!

Pretty disappointed with these switches. I ordered 10 switches total in 2 separate orders. Of the 10 switches, 3 had to be returned because 1 would not dim correctly and the other two were DOA. The switches that did work, worked fine until my Philips Hue Hub did an update, and then all the switches became "unreachable". I was able to correct this by deleting each switch from in the Philips Hue app and then re-adding them, which made it necessary to redo all my previously created scenes. The lights worked ok for a few more weeks, but today 3 became " unreachable" and after following the same process as before, now 2 of the 3 will not pair with my Philips Hue app. I attempted to pair them with my Smartthings Hub, but the STH was unsuccessful in pairing the switch as a light switch. These switches seemed promising, but now I have two over priced formerly smart switches with more likely to fail in the future. I will be finding another brand for the remaining conversion of my light switches.
