Back in September 2024 I read about this new matter over thread switch that was going to be available (HomeKit news and reviews). I found said switch on Amazon and was blown away by the price. I figured it was way too good to be true considering the price of the competing switch’s . I am happy to say that not only is that switch still working like a champ, I purchased five more. This is one of the very few smart home devices that I have had zero, absolutely no complaint or problems with.

When it comes to smart home devices, I readily admit I am a neophyte. So many things are tricky or complicated to set up and this was truly a breeze. The only reason I waited a year to write this review was I wanted to make sure this was something that would last. And that it has! I would like to congratulate all of the employees and managers on delivering a solid product at a fantastic price. But hand to God this is the best smart home edition I’ve made. Well done.!!!

This is the best Matter switch, so far (for Australia). It is an accessible switch (rather than an inline module), e.g. you can reset with a long press. It uses Thread (instead of wi-fi) so can form a permanently powered backbone mesh for other Thread devices. This version also has dip switches accessible behind the face plate (after installation) for a smart light mode (detached relay), so your smart bulb also remains powered and the switch can be configured via your Matter hub to turn to bulb on or off.

Rarely do I take the time for a review however I am so please with these switches and their 2 features that seperate them from everything else. First – the ability to have the power ‘always on’ regardless of the switch state. This allows smart bulbs, Philips hue etc to have constant power – this has always been an issue with these ‘smart bulbs’ second is that the switches are not coupled to the outlet so can be used as a switch into HomeKit then control the outlet. This allows a lot of flexibility and control. My next one will be a 4 gang switch that controls 3 lights near the kitchen – the 4th switch will be a shortcut to a scene where it ensures all lights are off for bedtime and puts the passageway on for a minute. Super easy to do with these switches. Will be definitely getting more.

These are great quality matter over thread switches that have been super stable and supported with software updates. Very fast delivery.

Have a dozen of these switches and they work well. It is hard to find Matter over Thread switches at this price. I use Homey and they easily connect every time. I have tried several other brands (which are more expensive), but these are still my favorite.

Recently installed these in my house, So far, they’ve been relatively flawless. I had one issue with one of the switches, Was able to contact the seller and he helped me through it over the phone. He also told me about some hidden functionality that I didn’t know was there which is awesome. I hope to see some more detailed documentation in the future for other people. Recommend. I’m going to buy more.
