I’m very impressed with this technology to the point where I’ve now put LightwaveRF light switches in every room of my home and have started to change some of the basic electric sockets to LightwaveRF. I’ve been using the system for a number of years and they have have worked perfectly. It works seamlessly with my Google Home setup, where I have a NEST Hub Max in each of the main rooms. The setup is easy and there are fairly regular firmware updates. The app is easy to use, but to be honest I only ever use that to set up the devices and routines, I use Google assistant to control them either from my phone or the Google Home devices. I prefer LightwaveRF over some of the other systems as you can use your existing lights and light bulbs, in most use cases there is no need to change, which means you have access to far more variety of light fittings, than say a Phillips Hue system. You do need to also purchase a Link Plus device, which is the router that connects the devices to the internet. but you only need one of these per home for all of the devices. I have a fairly large home and it hasn’t failed to reach every switch.
I can’t recommend the system enough.

Easy to install well written instructions. Did have an issue with one side of the switch would switch off and on but the lights remained on, thought it was a faulty switch so managed to get a replacement (great service) fitted the new one and still had the same issue. Wish I had checked bulb compatibility as this proved the problem, basically I had two lights circuit controlled by the 2gang switch when you swapped the wires around you still had the same problem. I found it worked fine if you have a combined load of over 10 Watts so I used dimmable led bulbs @ 7w each. Very pleased with it. The whole system with the link plus was easy to setup and works great with the echo. Dot.

5.0 out of 5 stars Use the correct bulbs

We have a number of these installed and they work well. Ours are linked to Google assistant enabling us to control our lights by voice. Only negative we have found is that if the switch is controlling a single bulb it can struggle with certain bulb types if the electrical resistance is too low. This can cause the light switch to reset itself and need recalibrating. Solution is to find a suitable bulb or get your electrician to add resistance in the circuit.

It’s as far as I’m aware the only smart dimmer switch available that you don’t need to use a neutral wire for.
Installation is easy and the the switch reports it’s status back to the hub.
Auto calibration is a bit hit and miss but easily adjust using the app.
I get on with it perfect. All that said it is a very expensive system.

I live in a rented flat and the light fittings are sealed units with 15 spot lights in four zones in the lounge. Replacing all of these with Hue or other smart bulbs wasn’t an option for me. After a little too-ing and fro-ing with tech support to figure out the wiring diagram against the standard UK home wiring setup (it’s not quite as logical as you’d imagine but makes sense once explained) to a complete novice, I now have 4 zone smart lighting I can dim from anywhere. I’m using the LightwaveRF (autocorrect is on form today!) hub as well. I’ve hooked these up via Google home so I can use voice control. My LEDS aren’t supposed to work with this type of dimmer and flickered during initial setup but some fine tuning of the top and bottom end of the dimming range has cured this.

If you just want a route into smart lighting and can’t replace every bulb or live in a rented place you want to easily remove the switch from when you leave this is a great produc

Beautiful design, simple(ish) to install, unless you’re trying to fit a 2-way switch which Lightwave convenient doesn’t mention in BOLD that if you wire it like you would a normal switch you would irreparably damage it, but luckily I realised before attempting to do so. The wiring symbols are also completely different to conventional UK light switch diagrams, would be great if there was some comparable guidelines for wiring. Something simple like: COM = L, L1 = X, L2 = S. There, I saved them the trouble! Very responsive control from the app though, but the hub is enormous and hangs off the router like a tumor. The metal buttons on the switch itself feel a little loose too. Just missing out on the 5th star due to the lack of examples for various wiring setups (e.g. 2-way, UK standard symbols etc) given the cost.

A very solidly built two button smart switch. Simple to use either smartly or locally via the buttons (tab either button to turn on/off or push and hold a button to adjust dimming).

If you’re going into a backbox with much less than 35mm you will need the spacer. It’s a great finish but does make the switch protrude a little – it doesn’t bother me but if you want a flat-against-the-wall switch make sure that backbox has plenty of room.

The instructions for fitting in the box are good for the electrical size of things and the warnings on how to wire and not to wire. Getting the switch to sit in the spacer and “snap” all four corners of the chrome front plate into place was a sodding nightmare, and eventually took two of us to apply a ton of pressure all around (and the handle end of a screwdriver behind a cloth) to get the last damn corner in. This was despite having removed and checked out alignment, flatness against the wall/spacer and so forth.

Once it’s on, looks really does look great and that finish is solid and polished – I’m really happy with it.

Pairing with the hub is easy (although in my hub setup originally Alexa couldn’t find the switch until multiple hub resets and calls to LW support – but that’s a hub issue not a switch issue), and if their is a pairing problem it’s easy to reset them (although that instruction isn’t in the box – if you need more info there’s various docs on the LW website)

The only slight niggle I’ve noticed is that when at the switch you tap the down button to turn it off, the light flicks off, comes back a bit and flicks off. I’m using Phillips bulbs, and there are many posts from Gen 1 that talk about the need to use good quality bulbs – so bear that in mind. Turning on the light however, no issues at all.

I’ve not put one in a bedroom yet, but be warned that the blue LED on the light between the button goes red when it’s off, and stays red whilst it’s off. It’s not hugely bright, but in a pitch black bedroom, may annoy folks that are light sensitive.
