WiZ Portable Smart Button - Works Only with WiZ Smart Lights - Comes with 2 AAA Alkaline Batteries - Wireless Light Switch - Control with Wiz Connected App - 1 Pack

The media could not be loaded. Quick review:This button does exactly what you hope it would do. It's easy to install via the 3M sticky tape on the back of the wall mount, so no need for drilling or holes! Programming it in the Wiz app (v2) was straight forward and took less than 2 minutes. A bit of technical knowledge is useful when programing, but if you're adding physical buttons to your smart home, you [probably] already know that. It also functions as a dimmer switch, as well as full-on, full-off single button presses.You can link this button to a single lightbulb, rooms, or even multiple rooms full of lights. It's nice that you can remove the button from the wall mount and use it as a mobile remote. Just place it back in the mount when you're done and the magnets will hold it in place until the next time you need it.Longer Review:If you're like me, you love the concept of smart home automation. And if you're even more like me, you refuse to pay Philips Hue pricing for lightbulbs and peripherals. This lead me to buying multiple Amazon deals and sale items over the years, which meant I had to have 3-4 different apps on my phone to run them all. Yes, these apps can all be managed in groups by Alexa, Google Home, etc., but the fact is, there was no overall device that can send a lighting cue to multiple different brands of lights via Google or Alexa (that I found, anyways). It's also a drag when people who are visiting, and perhaps a bit less tech savvy, want to turn lights on and off with no physical switch in the room. It's unreasonable to expect my 65 year old father-in-law to bust out his phone, which he barely uses, to open an app and fumble around looking for the proper lighting groups in the house.That's where Wiz has changed the game. They sell plenty of different lighting and outlet options that all link to a single app (a very well designed, user-friendly app, might I add), that you then link to your Smart Home service of choice. They are affordably priced and the build quality seems on par with what you'd expect. The colors of the lights are accurate enough, although not as rich as Hue lights. But I can buy 8 Wiz bulbs for the price of 3 Hue bulbs, so I can live with that.We have since converted nearly all of our smart bulbs throughout the house over to Wiz and it's been a dream. We use this particular wireless button to control 4 bulbs in our living room (see the video review), and some of their wireless remotes throughout other rooms in the house to control different sections as needed. I was initially shocked at how simple these were to pair and setup via the Wiz V2 app. As mentioned before, programming and setting these up isn't for everybody, but chances are you will find their instructions easy enough to follow along.It runs off of 2 AAA batteries, which I haven't had to change yet (purchased this about 3 months ago). And stays connected to my wifi with 0 issues.If it has any weaknesses at all, I would say that the magnets in the button and wall mount could be a tad bit stronger. I have knocked it out of it's mount by mistake, but that falls under "user error", in my opinion. Under general use with proper care, this switch should last a long time.All in all, my family and guests have been very happy to have a physical button to press when they need lighting control, and I would recommend to anyone who's invested in the Wiz line of smart bulbs in their home or business.

I installed this to control some Wiz lights I put into an overhead fan in my office. I used a 3M Command Strip instead of the sticky pad to mount to my wall, as I was afraid it would damage the paint if I wanted to move it. Beyond that, it synced right up and does exactly what it should. It's not customizable beyond which room lights it controls, so don't expect anything more than on/off and you should be happy. I can now more easily make use of my fan lights and don't have to fumble around with my phone or tablet anymore.

The 2-gang wall box in our 3 year old house needed to be trimmed to receive the WIZ dimmer switch because the bottom left edge of the dimmer rear cover crashed into the wall box housing mounting flange preventing the dimmer from seating properly. I was able to trim the flange to make it fit. See pictures.I've removed and replaced dozens of switches/dimmers/outlets/GFCIs in old and new homes over the years and never had this occur. Just a minor glitch in design I suspect.Otherwise, it works as advertised, though the auto detect function did not work and it had to be added manually to my network.Overall very satisfied.

I installed the wall dimmer switch after purchasing LED Halo brand can light inserts with Wiz technology. After installation, I realized that in order to get the can lights to dim with something other than an app (so my kids could use it without a phone), I'd need a smart switch on the wall.So I turned to Wiz since I figured it would work best if I kept the manufacturers the same, and purchased this wall dimmer switch.Installation was straight forward, although the unit is rather bulky and trying to get it to fit in an outlet box can be problematic if you have a bunch of additional wires to jam in there with the box.Unfortunately the dimming function from the switch didn't control the lights. I could control the dimming on the app, and the app reflected the fact that I was moving the dimming on the switch itself, but the brightness of the lights weren't changing.So I got on the app and did started a real time chat with customer service. This experience was miserable. I clearly explained what the problem was, and even took pictures of the lights, screen shots of the app, and a short video with narration of the problem. The only thing the tech support person on the chat could do was get into my account and tell me what percentage the lights were dimmed to, in near real time. This person clearly didn't understand the problem I conveyed to them, even after sharing video, pictures and screen shots. It was clear this was a waste of time, after I'd already spent an hour searching the web for troubleshooting help.Gone are the days where you can wire up a switch in a few minutes and be done with a job. Gone are the days when you can wire up a smart switch product and expect it to work without taking a ton of time trying to figure out how to make it work or troubleshoot it.Stay away from Wiz.

We have several Wiz bulbs in our house, but couldn't install the smart switches because our house doesn't have a neutral wire. This portable button was the perfect solution for our bedroom and living room where we have multiple lamps and just want to turn them on quickly without pulling out our phone or talking to Google/Alexa.I also like that it's detachable if you want to move it to your night stand while you're sleeping, but that might not be the best feature if you have someone in your household that loses things easily.We've been using them for about a week now and they work perfectly every time. I foresee buying more as we convert more rooms to 100% smart bulbs.
