There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
First and foremost, the installation process was surprisingly simple. I was worried that I would have to hire an electrician to install the switch, but with the help of the detailed instructions provided, I was able to do it myself in just a few minutes. The switch does require a neutral wire, so make sure to check your wiring before purchasing.
Once installed, I was able to connect the switch to my WiFi network and link it to my Alexa device without any issues. The 2.4 Ghz WiFi connection is strong and reliable, and I haven't experienced any connectivity problems or delays in controlling the switch with my voice commands.
The dimming function is one of the standout features of this switch. I love being able to adjust the brightness of my lights with just a simple voice command or through the Amazon Alexa app. It's a small but convenient feature that adds a touch of luxury to my home.
Another great aspect of this switch is its sleek design. The white color blends in seamlessly with my home decor, and the compact size (2.91 x 4.65 x 1.62 inches) means it fits in standard wall box. It also has a soft LED indicator light that is not too bright or distracting.
Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my purchase of the Amazon Basics 3-Way Smart Dimmer Switch. It's a high-quality product at an affordable price point, and the fact that it's from Amazon Basics gives me peace of mind in terms of its reliability and customer service. I would highly recommend this switch to anyone looking to make their home a little smarter and more convenient.
Since I was installing so many, I thought I would save a few bucks and buy some of the 3-way smart dimmers from Amazon Warehouse. DON'T DO THIS!!! IT ISN'T WORTH IT!. Apparently Amazon Warehouse takes back the switches that customers can't figure out and ships them right back out without testing. This wasted SO MUCH of my time. Most of these were missing faceplates, screws, wirenuts, or all of the above. One dimmer switch would control my lights, but not connect to WiFi. A second dimmer switch would talk to WiFi/Alexa, but not send power to the load (light). A third box contained a single pole switch, even though I had paid for a 3-way and the box showed it was a 3-way. It was also missing everything except the switch and instruction manuals. I tried to exchange the two defective switches, but the only option I was given was to read lots of articles on how to troubleshoot! When I replace the switch with an identical one that works, and then try the defective switch in another circuit that was working, I don't need to read articles. It's a bad switch! :(
For comparison, I have some Gosund smart switches that work very well also, but they require a third party app to set-up and communicate with Alexa. These Amazonbasics switches work directly with Alexa and make set-up and operation seamless. I'll use and recommend Amazonbasics to anyone using the alexa environment.
Again, I am thrilled with the new Amazonbasics smart switches that I installed. They work great and I will purchase more and recommend these to everyone I talk to. I will NOT purchase these switches through AmazonWarehouse again.
+This works with existing switch plates. Since this was being installed in a double box, I wanted to use my own, existing plate cover. Unlike some other products, which work only with their own switch plates. this one fit allowed conventional switch plates to fit (snugly) over it.
+Although large, it wasn't that much bigger in volume than the switch it replaced. I was able to tuck the wires and wirenuts into the space behind it - although if you have shallow boxes, this could be a challenge.
+It fits nicely with the other decora switches in the multi-switch plate. As noted, this doesn't have a rocker that switches up and down like conventional switches - it looks like a decora switch that is switch on (top part depressed) and you use the bottom of the rocker switch as a momentary switch to go from on to off. The color and configuration are otherwise totally compatible with contemporary white decora switches.
+The instructions for installation, including removal of the existing switch, identifying which wires go where, etc.) are very clear and, if you follow them carefully, the installation is safe and straightforward.
-Like others, I would have preferred that this have screw or push-in terminals, rather than permanently attached wires. Because of the permanent wires, it's more likely that you will need to add more wire nuts during installation, which can make the receiving box very crowded.
-The Alexa app is not totally intuitive, especially when trying to create custom names for the switch or groups. Like all apps, it takes a bit of a learning curve. I'm not sure, however, that any other app would be more intuitive or easier to use.
Overall, I was impressed and am enjoying these smart switches.

Una vez que ya aparece en tu cuenta puedes cambiarlo a tu país y editar lo que desees sin problema. Espero les funcione. A mi me funciono al 100%
The pairing process was a breeze, taking minimal time and effort. But what truly impressed me was the build quality. I was initially taken aback by-all plastic construction and how the chassis is thicker than the all metal counterparts on other switches. To my delight the switch sat flat on the box and the thickness still allowed the switch plate to lay flat.
After a week of use, I can confidently say it's a game-changer. Seamless integration with Alexa adds a touch of sophistication to my home. The switch feels durable and capable of standing the test of time. As a master electrician, I give it my seal of approval without any hesitation. Alexa integration at its finest.
Amazon Basics, you've got a winner with this one!
