Smart Switch

A smart switch replaces a standard wall switch to allow remote or automated control of lighting and other loads. It communicates over Wi-Fi, Zigbee, or Z-Wave and is wired into the mains circuit. Many models require a neutral wire, and ratings must match the local voltage and load.

⚠️ Note: Neutral requirement, ratings, and protocol support vary by model and region; values are indicative and must be verified against the specific product and local electrical code before installation.

FAQ

Can a smart switch work without a hub?
Wi-Fi smart switches typically connect directly to the router without a hub, while Zigbee and Z-Wave switches usually require a compatible hub or gateway.
Will a smart switch dim any light?
Only if it is a dimming model and the connected load is dimmable; check compatibility with LED, CFL, or incandescent loads to avoid flicker.
