MOESSmart Toggle Light Switch, Single Pole & 3 Way Wall Switch 2.4G WiFi, ON/Off Style, Neutral Wire Required, Smart Life APP Remote Control, Work with Alexa/Google Home, No hub Required White

We have a number of wifi wall switches and receptacles throughout the house that we have interfaced with Alexa, but until now I had not tried inserting one in any of our 3-way circuits. With 3-way wifi switches costing about twice (or more) what regular single pole switches cost, we had focused on the light circuits having only one switch. However, reading the vendor's description of the Moes switch, it sounded like they may have circuitry that senses current actually flowing because they claim that in many cases only a single switch is needed for a 3-way circuit. So, I recently purchased one to check it out.The answer is: this switch works great as a single wifi switch in a 3-way circuit without needing to change the existing second switch as long as the neutral wire for the circuit is available in the box that will contain the switch. There will be circuit wiring configurations where this unit can't be used at one end of a 3-way circuit because there is no neutral wire available, but assuming you select the box where either power enters or the load exits (or both), it will work fine. This switch has connections for line (or load), neutral, the two travelers, and ground. The 3-way circuit where I've installed this switch has wires for both line and load in the same box (making it a tad crowded), with the other switch simply switching power between the two traveler wires. With this configuration, I had to install the Moes switch in the more crowded box containing both line and load wires (again, because the neutral wire for the circuit is available).I connected the Moes switch to line (power), neutral and ground in the box containing it; connected the two traveler wires to the cable running out to the distant existing switch (red and black wires); and then connected the returning switched power wire from the distant switch (the white wire with a couple of black electrical tape stripes wrapped around it) to the load. FYI, if you have no idea what I'm talking about, get some help! :-)In this configuration, the Moes switch knows when the lights are being powered and when they're not, regardless of switch positions. So switching the distant switch in either direction will change the state of the lights from whatever state the Moes switch is in, and if you tell Alexa to turn the lights off or on, they will always go off or on correctly, independent of which position the distant switch happens to be in... just like 3-way switches are supposed to work.I more recently installed another of these switches in a 4-way circuit, and it also works great in this circuit with the other existing switches. This circuit is wired with the line wire entering one end of the three switch chain, and the load wire (running to a string of recessed ceiling lights) exiting the far end. The remaining midway 4-way switch simply exchanges power between the travelers. Since neutral is available in both end boxes, I installed this switch in the box nearest my wifi router. It could not have been installed in the box containing the 4-way switch as neutral isn't available there.In truth, you probably CAN install this switch in ANY box associated with a 3-way, 4-way or more-way circuit because ground is always available in every box (at least since the 50's), and neutral is nominally at the same electrical potential as ground, barring any wiring failures. However, using ground as neutral is not code compliant, nor is it generally advisable in some circumstances. Ground wires are not intended to carry current as part of a circuit's normal operation, so don't do this... just select a box that has neutral available.Set up of the switch was straightforward, although it took two attempts to get the app to see it for some reason. But on the second try it configured correctly, and then Alexa connected easily. The app itself works well by itself for remote control if you don't do Echos and Dots, but with Gen 2 Dots selling for $20 right now, there's no reason not to set up voice control. We've had this switch in use for about three weeks and it has operated dozens of times with no issues.The only real issue with this switch is that it's face dimensions are a few thousands larger than a standard switch plate, so it's likely you'll have to trim or file the switch plate hole a small amount to get it to fit. While it's an annoyance, it's easily done. Actually, a second minor concern is that this switch has five short wires coming out of it rather than having "ports" in which to clamp wires like some other wifi switches... meaning you must use wire connectors to connect it into the affected circuit. The downside of this is the amount of space these wires and connectors may require in some installations. One of my installs is in a 3-gang box containing three 3-way switches fed by two different feed wires, and it was a bit of a challenge to get all the wires tucked into the box.Hopefully it holds up well over time. Assuming it does, I highly recommend this wifi switch for 3-way applications.

I recently upgraded my home with the MOES Smart Light Switch, and I must say it has been a game-changer in terms of both convenience and ease of installation. What sets this switch apart is its remarkable compatibility - no neutral wire, capacitor, or hub required!The installation process was a breeze, and I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly I had it up and running. The absence of the need for a neutral wire or capacitor made the installation hassle-free, even for someone like me who isn't particularly tech-savvy. The included instructions were clear, concise, and made the entire setup process a walk in the park.Pairing the MOES Smart Light Switch with the Smart Life app was equally straightforward. Unlike some other smart devices I've struggled with in the past, these switches connected seamlessly and quickly. The Smart Life app itself is user-friendly, allowing me to effortlessly control and customize my lighting preferences.One of the standout features of the MOES Smart Light Switch is its compatibility with AI assistants like Siri and Alexa. Being able to control my lights wirelessly using voice commands has added a new level of convenience to my daily routine. The responsiveness of the switches to voice commands is impressive, and the integration with popular AI assistants enhances the overall user experience.In conclusion, the MOES Smart Light Switch is a fantastic addition to any smart home setup. Its installation simplicity, compatibility with popular AI assistants, and overall reliability make it a top-notch choice for those looking to upgrade their lighting control. I wholeheartedly recommend this product to anyone seeking a smart home solution that truly delivers on its promises.

I installed two of the Moes Wifi switches. Both have no neutral wire. They install easy and connect to your cellphone via the Smart Life App. The issue is every once in a while, they go offline on the Cellphone. When this happens, they need to be reinstalled. The issue I am having one switch reinstalled and the other I cannot get back online. I have reached out to Moes service department and have gotten no response. Their service is terrible. You want to buy these switches be prepared in times of needing support there is none.

Have this setup on an Tuya app for outdoor light. Works great.Only thing I don’t like is the wires that are connected inside box. I prefer to do that myself. This way I know it’s done correctly.

Installation is pretty easy however the instructions are kind of vague and somewhat confusing. It took about 45 minutes to install. The app is clunky and confusing. Translation from Chinese is poor. It does work fine with the Alexa Echo Dot.

The switch hardware is good, no problems and relatively easy to install. But the app that controls it is confusing, poorly executed, very difficult to use. Look for other options.

Great if you have an older home without neutral wires. The only issue is with metal gang boxes. I have 2 installed, both in metal boxes. One of the older metal boxes is touching the top of the switch which renders the wireless capabilities inoperable at times. I'm going to replace the box as soon as I get more done on the to-do list. Love these switches though, thinking of buying a few more.

el producto no funciona ya que no apaga por completo el foco, se quede prendido muy tenue, con luz casi inperceptible pero de noche se ve claramente que el foco queda prendido, con otra lampara de queso se queda parpadeando todo el tiempo al estar apagada ya configurado.
