Eaton Wi-Fi Smart Home Devices Collection

Neat concept poorly executed

Over the last several years I've firmly planted myself in the Alexa ecosystem and have slowly been smart-ifying my house, so I jumped when I saw this light switch which was a smart switch with an Echo built in. Unfortunately this product is riddles with bugs and missing or poorly thought-out features. Installation: 2/5 Let's start with the installation. This thing wasn't hard to install, but it does require at least intermediate knowledge of electricity and comfort working with high voltage....

Packed with features, not 3-way, bad cust support

In summary – good looking device, packed with features, very useful (when operational), but doesn’t work properly as 3-way switch and the customer service is not technically savvy, so these negatives left a bitter taste in me… My overall score for this device is 2 stars. As a sum of features and functionality I’d give this device 5 stars, as an item advertised as a 3-way switch which doesn’t operate as such I’d give it 1 star. As a company standing behind their product and providing adequate lev...

Underwhelmed

I've wanted an Alexa-enabled dimmer for a long time. This wasn't the best fit for me. As far as DIY projects, I'm skilled but this gave me a run for my money. The wiring diagram in the booklet didn't tell the whole story but luckily, the manufacturer's website had a decent video. It takes up a lot of space in the junction box, so I had to cram wires all over the place in order to get the switch plate to fit. Once installed, it was super easy to set up, as is my typical experience with Alexa ...

Great way to upgrade your home!

I'll start by saying my home is nowhere near close to being a smart home, though we love our devices. This proved to be a great opportunity to test out the smart home concept by purchasing the Eaton Voice Light Dimmer. I highly recommend scoping out your light switch situation. A lot of the rooms I initially had plans to install this device were not capable. So instead of installing in a high traffic room in our home, we opted for our home office/game room. My husband installed the dimming s...

Excellent product for busy hands or senior care!

Eaton Wi-Fi Smart Voice Dimmer Switch is unique and fills multiple needs with its included, added technology. This dimmer has Amazon Alexa embedded. When initially walking into or out of a room, if hands are full simply say “Alexa, turn off the lights” or “Alexa, turn on the lights” and Alexa acknowledges the request with a voice response. See attached videos (light is at the top center of the screen). If a senior resident has this switch installed and has some background using Alexa, the...

Alexa now lives in the wall

I have a number of echo dot devices deployed around the house but one problem with them is that they take up space on a desk or nightstand, they collect dust, and they have power cords and wall-warts so they need to be near a power receptacle of of some kind. I also have a number of remote-controllable light switches/dimmers. This nifty product by Eaton combines that functionality into a tidy and tiny package and eliminates the ugliness of cords. It takes a bit of skill to install, but not t...

Smart switch is quite dumb

This switch will not connect to my wifi network. We have spent several hours trying different ways to connect. The switch tells me that our wifi password is incorrect- it is not. Every other device we have connects with no difficulty, just this stupid switch. Upon investigation, it is apparently a known, common issue. No wonder Lowe's has this piece of garbage on sale for half off. No doubt an Eaton rep will respond saying they would love to get in touch to troubleshoot this issue. No thanks, re...

Works great!

I wanted this smart switch for my dining room. I was excited to see it works with Alexa as I use Alexa to control all of my smart lights and outlets. As I unpacked the item and was organizing what I needed to install, I realized the cover plate was NOT included with this item. I was hesitant to install it since I wasn't sure where to get the cover plate. I did find from the Eaton website that Lowe's carried the product. It was in stock at my local Lowe's for $3.84. The switch I was repla...

Frustrating

I installed and tested this item on the first rainy day after receiving it (today). My first surprise was that it had five wires - including a "load charge wire". Eventually I figured that the black hot wire and the "load charge wire" were the main wires needed and connected the black hot to the hot wire that goes to the circuit panel, and the "load charge wire" to the black hot wire that goes to the light. The light dimmed and brightened as expected. I then loaded the Amazon Alexa app, and log...

Smart Dimmer Switch with Alexa built into it

Having a Smart Dimmer Switch with Alexa built into it was a perfect addition to my Kitchen. I have an older home so most of my light switches do not have a neutral or ground wire (which is required) so it could not be installed elsewhere. But I recently had my Kitchen outlets and ceiling lights updated which now have a ground and neutral wire. Being able to control and dim my ceiling lights via the Eaton Smart Dimmer switch has added a nice level of convenience and usefulness. Now that Alexa ...
