I was a bit concerned about the delay that some mention. To be clear, the delay is in the automation. There is no delay for the appliance directly wired to the switch. So if you are connecting it same as the switch it replaces, it will work same. Only the automation you attach to on/off events will have a substantial delay. I have several that are not physically connected to any appliance. That takes a little getting used to as there is not the instant feedback and you wonder if it worked. The upside is well worth it. Easy to install. Check your boxes to ensure there is a neutral wire. Without that, they will not work at all. Shouldn't be an issue for any but very old homes or non permitted renovations. They do take up a lot of space. If you have a very crowded box, that can be an issue. I started with one and keep finding places for more. Can't help but think that lack of multi gesture and slide feature is a miss. I immediately wanted to assign different scenes for double tap, two fingers, slide up and down for dim. Seems it could easily do so much more.

The Best of all the Smart Switches

I've bought more of these. They're well designed and work flawlessly as the other Eve Homekit products I've purchased. I'm an old programmer dude that's had X-10, Insteon, Z-Wave, WiFi-Enabled and these Bluetooth LE products. It's my opinion these are superior in every way. - Security. WiFi devices put your whole network at risk if not properly fire-walled. Ring's doorbell was caught sending audio to China. Many other unknown branded wifi switches have been caught sending data to China. With Bluetooth LE, they are just not capable of anything like that. - Energy. The BLE devices use almost no energy. I've had Eve's Weather Monitor running on AA batteries for over a year and they've still got a good charge. This is while using the Eve app to download the data at regular intervals for monitor graphs. WiFi enabled devices consume a few watts of power. Not a lot but it's a huge amount more when you add it up 24x7x365. - Reliability. This is the most important factor for me. I tried Leviton's WiFi switch (DH15S) because I needed a 3-way switch. It would go offline (reddit and Amazon are full of complaints) and not be useable. The company sent me a new one at no charge but this one was also unreliable. I finally replaced with the Eve switch and rewired so it was no longer 3-way. Inconvenient but now it's reliable and I can always switch from my phone app. - Downside. Only one I can think of is distance which hasn't been a factor for me. I've got 3 levels of concrete and steel and have never had unresponsiveness. But I can imagine some extremely large homes where a wifi mesh network would work better. They don't make a multi-way switch which is not as important with voice control but it requires joining red and black wires in the other switch box.

Rock solid performer. Even after 2 years.

Update: after two years. I still love this switch. It is rock solid. It is always connected to my WiFi. I have multiple routines that turn my fan off and on and various times of the day. And this switch has never failed. I love the HomeKit integration. It is always the first to appear in my Apple home app, whereas other home products o have take a few seconds to appear “toggle-able” in the iOS home app. This one is always ready for me to turn on or off. I love this switch. I want more. Original review from June 2017. I have this set up on a ceiling fan in my living room. It doesn’t adjust the speed. It is either on or off. Which I knew that. I’m just telling others. My house gets hot in the day and parts of the night. I need his fan to circulate the air so it doesn’t become stratified in the upper living area. I’m using the app and Homekit to turn it on and off during different parts of the day. It works great. I’m much more comfortable now!

Very Nice Implementation

The switch is elegant and works perfectly with HomeKit. It does not have a traditional rocker mechanism. It is a touch sensitive panel. I find this to be very cool. It has a LED in the middle of the switch that can be configured to be on and off however you like it. This is the 3rd or 4th Eve product I've purchased, and I'm impressed with every one. Eve has become my go-to brand for HomeKit hardware. The Eve app that works with this, and every other HomeKit product, is the best app I've found for my HomeKit system.

Great reliable switch

Updated 2019 Review (five stars) This switch works perfectly and gets the little things right. Now that my house if full of Homekit devices from a lot of brands, I can much more accurately review a product and better judge its performance. The fact that this switch uses bluetooth instead of wifi brings on a whole lot of trade offs. It increases the latency of the device, but it also uses less power and doesn't clog up my wifi. Typically, I have everything setup to use automations that run... automatically. If some device is delayed by 7 seconds, it has no effect on the outcome of that automation. When using this switch as a trigger for an automation, it works flawlessly, and with about the same latency as a wifi device. Bluetooth also means it will work even if my router is malfunctioning, but the range is limited to the bluetooth reach of my phone and AppleTVs. If you are all in on Homekit, you are also likely all in on Apple, and this should not be an issue. I really appreciate the indicator light on this switch. I also have wall switches from Sylvania (great, but has a rocker paddle with on/off and that is now a deal breaker for my wife), Koogeek, and Insignia (do not buy Insignia homekit stuff from best buy, total junk). All three of these other brands have indicator lights that are not programmable. They all illuminate green when on, and they turn off when off (Sylvania turns dim blue when off) when off. The Eve switch allows you to make its green light be: 1. always off, 2. on when the light is on, or 3 on when the light is off. I use option 3 so that it is easier to find in the dark. If it was in my bedroom, I would probably choose option 2, and/or use the other feature of choosing from one of three levels of brightness. One thing that I'm a little frustrated with about this device's app, and many others including iDevices, Koogeek, and Sylvania is that they try to be your "everything" homekit app. They show you all of your devices and have no real filter to just show the devices from this specific company. The main thing I use a device specific app for is adjusting settings for that specific brands devices, and for firmware updates. I have the native Home app, and several third party apps that are great for generally controlling arbitrary hardware. When I go into the Eve app, I want to check for Eve firmware updates and possibly change device specific settings. Pros: * Bluetooth - Does not clog up your wifi, uses less energy when doing nothing. * Programmable indicator light. * Simple touch to change the state of the switch (instead of discrete on/off switches). * No moving parts to wear out * Reliable Cons: (this list is really hard to fill, so I'm super nitpicking) * Doesn't look like a normal Decora switch (maybe a pro to some) * Bluetooth can lag 1-7 seconds * Does not track power consumption, but it can be inferred from the bulb rating and the time kept in the app. Original 2017 (four stars) Review This switch works perfectly fine, but being bluetooth, and not having any sort of physical button make it not as transparent as it could be. I basically bought this because I was too impatient to wait for the dimmer switch from iDevices (IMO the gold standard in HomeKit). Also, this was 1/2 the price of the wifi switch from iDevices. Basically, the capacitive or whatever it uses for sensing the on/off works well enough, but we have a lot of misfires. The bluetooth LE nature of the device means that it changes state about 3-6 seconds after requested from the phone. When touching it, it switches state immediately, unless you don't touch it just right, and then you have to touch it again. It is also a bit baffling how they include on/off monitoring, but not power monitoring. This was a great addition to our HomeKit home, but it is not perfect. I'm looking forward to the similarly priced switch I just preordered from Koogeek, which is wifi, rather than bluetooth.

Elgato products are great, this one is no exception!

Installed 2 of these bad boys earlier today, and they work flawlessly, as has everything I've used made by Elgato. Installation went without a hitch (except for the switch next door in the multi-gang box, which I re-installed upside down because I am apparently a moron), and the wireless capabilities work well despite me having metal face plates on the boxes. It is true what they say - any old faceplate will fit over these switches. The green led light is not distracting on the wall of my darkened bedroom. I had been concerned about that, but didn't need to be. Not that I needed it for this product, but I have had occasion to deal with Elgato's customer service for another thing, and they could not possibly be more receptive to customer needs. I'm very picky about customer service but they're totally outstanding. I promise I don't work for them although it probably sounds like I do - I'm just a very satisfied customer!

An affordable and easy to use smart switch

I love the ease of use. The app is fantastic. You can set a timer to have them go on and off. The ability to control my lights from anywhere in the world with an internet connection is awesome! The actual switch is attractive and matches my other paddle switches in the house. O thought the small green indicator light that glows when it’s off would bother me but it’s been a great reminder to turn my porch lights on. I’ll defin be buying more of these as I automate more of my home

So far so good...

I wasn't very confident in my ability to wire electrical switches, but the instructions were quite clear and easy to follow. I just had to make sure that O had a neutral wire and I was cooking with gas. Wasn't sure if I could fit two of these in one electrical box, but I took a chance. They fit quite snugly next to each other, but otherwise fit well. I just went to a home store and got a $1.50 double-gang wallplate since the ones included are singles. As far as how they perform, I have an Apple TV 4th gen not 10 feet from where they're installed and save for a delay in activating, they work perfect. Not quite sure what others go on about, complaining about delays... it's not like your life depends on the light coming on the instant you tell Siri to do so... At any rate, software works well, easy to set up and configure. I totally recommend these switches. =)

Quick and easy install capacitive switch that works perfectly with Homekit

It took me about ten minutes to turn off the power, hook up the four wires (pos, neg, neutral and ground) and power everything back up. I then accessed the Homekit app on my iPhone, took a picture of the code and it synced effortlessly. I have a homepode setup and all I do is tell Siri to turn my lights on and off. If I so desire, I can touch the capacitive green glow to activate the light when I'm in my unlit bedroom. The switch is on the pricier side, but it's well built and one of the easiest setups I've had to contend with.

Works great

I've had this for a couple weeks now. The design is great, and the app is pretty cool because you can program it to link up with HomeKit and do a lot of things there. You connect to it via Bluetooth, not wifi. So you have to be within Bluetooth's proximity to have this device follow your commands; unlike wifi. But it mounted easily, I used it to replace the light switch in my double switch box for my ceiling fan/light. It has a very dim, pencil eraser-sized green light that is on when the source is switched off so you can see it at night. Its a captive touch, like your smartphone's screen, so theres no tactile click or switch to move, you just touch or tap it. Overall its a pretty cool product; however it'd be better if future switches become wifi and not bluetooth.
