SONOFF BASICR2 WiFi Switch 3-Pack Wireless Remote Control Electrical for Household Appliances,Compatible with Alexa DIY Your Home Via iPhone Android App

This unit works great! Mmm, usually…
At first I was hesitant of these because I was used to using the plug in modules that were Alexa based (VeSync, etc.) and that we’re plugged into outlets. Boy was I wrong, I love these more now.Once you add the app to your Alexa, “eWeLink“, this unit rocks. I have all my wiring in the house hooked up in my attic per these modules. You can also share permissions for particular switches if two of you use different amazon accounts and different Alexa’s. Which, really helps as I talked her into buying most of the dots my children use… :-)At first, I was frustrating hooking these units up to the wifi, because directions changed for different versions, but now it is pretty simple as they made a simple hold down variable. Also making that tiny screw a Phillips head, WOW, the frustration saved in the attic with only one screwdriver needed! Thanks!!! For the hardware update!!!I currently have 6 units in my attic controlling various light switches around my house, both of and newer versions, and just ordered three more for other rooms. Best option I would recommend is to change your power on state to “on”, so that it works with the power switch when wifi is acting wonky… You’ll always have light via the switch.Second suggestion for the company, make the Shell have more ruggedness vs the current casing, as it needs to be a little thicker to make it more rugged, as it feels cheap… Had to waste one unit because I was trying to secure it to the board, the mounting slipped off the motherboard before I secured it properly, and it took out the “long” program button. This was hassle, which you think the component would be secured better? Nope, with the component being surface mounted, …… if you know solid state components I’d usually thin, doesn’t help anything grip into the motherboard.Btw, I’m an engineer, so I’ve worked with plenty of hardware, also if it’s over your head, just remember I like this unit a lot. It’s fairly easy to use and you can even put this o. The cord of your lamp and it will work to turn it off and on, no need to go into the attic for that.Third info you need to know, software needs updating!! Having this thing on a schedule is a pain, but this company is updating its software on a semi regular basis, and should change in the future with software updates.Fourth, this one may be a glitch? Turned off all my lights in the house with the “house off” verbal command, and we had units that aren’t hooked up to “house” turn off. This might be the biggest bug yet, don’t know how this happened, but it did, as my daughters went to their bathroom which is NOT hooked up to the house group, and their lights were off via the hand switch.I went and reconnected them with a verbal command and figured they somehow turned off maybe by hearing me incorrectly? with the “bathrooms” command for off, instead of house off command??? Most likely the cause but I’ll look into it.Besides that, having the app and being able to turn off everything remotely (outside of house and driving around) via the Amazon app or eWeLink app is nice.They Just need to work on that timer function or away function more to be concise and more user friendly, instead of an 80’s video game of “hope you guess it” functionality.

Easy Setup, cost effective. Installed for under cabinet lights in kitchen
I was looking for an alternative way to make the under the cabinet lighting for my kitchen smart. I was thinking of adding LED strips, but that meant re-doing all the lighting that was already on place (I have some halogen under the cabinet lighting already). I found this alternative and gave it a try. Easy to setup, replaced my existing manual switch using all the existing wiring and just literally changing the controller.It was very easy and it worked right off the bat, and I was able to use alexa to group it with my existing switch in the kitchen so i can turn on and off everything with my voice command.The only comment was the lids that were included. At the end i didn’t use them as my cable was thicker and also the screws were very little and fragile. No big deal.For someone who has an existing under the cabinet lighting and want to make it smart very cheap and easy, this is the way to go.

Great reliability
Love this product! I have them all over the house to control lighting and they perform flawlessly. Never loses wifi unless the internet goes down. Easy to program schedules and set up is a breeze. I’ve had other devices (Wemo) that gave me fits with connectivity and not that easy to program.

works well
Used these as wired in switches for alexa control. Works fine and very reliable. One can get some nice very customized results by mounting these to electrical boxes or to the chassis of what you are trying to control. If you do not have the knowledge and skills to do this safely you may be better off with a smart plug.

Funciona a la perfección

Me costo mucho configurarlo a mi wifi, pero ya quedo y función muy bien
