Brilliant – worked first time !
Really pleased with this. Finding a no neutral switch is not always easy.Used my erro 6+ coupled with Alexa app to get it connected. Very straight forward.Needed two spacers as home back box was not very deep. .

Excellent Smart and Dumb Switch
Has been working faultlessly for months now, so it seems pretty durable. I have it integrated into home assistant, so that I can control it using automations from within HASS. But it also works very well as a normal standalone switch, with messing up the automations.I did need to get my electrician to install a deeper back box, as mine was an older, shallower type originally and this switch is only compatible with deeper back boxes. So keep that in mind.

Does not work with Hubitat Elevation
All my Z-Wave and Zigbee devices are controlled by my Hubitat Elevation C8Having fitted several of the wireless MOES switches, they have all worked flawlessly. Included 1st time etc. However the wired version does not. The double switch will only switch BOTH on or BOTH off even though it creates 2 child devices ok. A pity, as the option to have the led light up on active switches OR vice versa would have been very useful to me.

Works well. Shame it is so bulky
Worked well to replace existing light switches. Had to buy a surface box as the switch is deeper than the old switches. Does work as a virtual multiway switch through the app.

Make sure you’ve got at least 35mm back boxes
This is an easy product to use, but doesn’t support two way operation. You don’t need the neutral wire but I think I can notice a flicker without it. The back is deep, so you’ll need plenty of room, or get yourself a Schneider spacer, and if you’ve got connection blocks, swap them for Wago’s to give more space.THESE DO NOT WORK WITH ALEXA ZIGBEE BRIDGE IN THE ECHO. Possibly won’t work with the show either as it’s not Tuya. I had to buy a bridge because through the echo 4 I bought specifically for the bridge I could only see one switch on the two gang.

Good when works
So purchased this with intention of replacing a 2 gang switch, some things to know as I had specific requirements:- I paired this successfully with the Lidl Silvercrest Zigbee Gateway, using the Tuya app (not using the Lidl app).- I had one side of the switch which was also a 2 way operation, this switch doesnt support 2 way at all, so I had to diagnose the cabling to essentially return the switch back to a one way operation for this to work with this switch.- Once all setup and integrated I then imported into Google Home and setup the necessary routines turning the lights on an off as i required.Build quality seemed decent enough.Finally I had the switch plugged in working for one day after which it failed and as such have had to return. Now debating if its worth re-purchasing the same brand or considering another…

Just works (with Echo Plus Zigbee Hub too!)
If you need a smart switch for a no-neutral wiring situation, buy this one! Because it is a low power ZIGBEE device, a Capacitor is not needed in the light fitting, even for very low wattage LED bulbs. It just works. Just to confirm another review (and disprove another) – this device pairs perfectly with the built-in Zigbee hub in the Amazon Echo Plus (2nd generation), so probably all other Echo devices with Zigbee capability (check carefully, many do not). Just put the switch into pairing mode (blue light flashing) and get Alexa to discover the device from the Alexa App (choose Other, Zigbee). Rename the switch to your choice and that’s it. Faultless!

works seamlessly with Smart Life and Alexa
Having used broadlink switches they became troublesome with connection issues, these Moes units are a perfect replacement, working seamlessly with Smart Life and Alexa, highly recommend.

Impressive product once installed after some issues
I bought this switch to replace a 2-gang switch in my hallway which had one integrated time and light sensitive controlled gang being used to automatically switch an outside porch light. The old switch was unable to control LED bulbs so was effectively obsolete.I expected to control the new switch from my Amazon Echo Dot (5th Gen) speaker.It was easy to install the new switch in place of the existing switch and confirm that it could function as a dumb switch turning the two connected lights on and off via the switches. The little blue LED on each switch is lit when the respective light is on.The switch unit as a whole is put into pairing mode by holding down either physical switch until the left hand LED blinks. But I was not able to get my Echo Dot to “discover” the switch. Further web research eventually uncovered that although Amazon introduced integrated ZigBee hubs in the 4th and 5th generation Echo speakers, they did NOT put them in the Echo Dot. So I purchased a Moes ZigBee Gateway.I also purchased a Schneider Electric spacer ring because the Moes switch needs a deep (35mm) backing box and my existing fitting had a standard 28mm backing box.The Moes hub is a tiny box of minimalist design with a single reset switch and two LEDs. You need to download the SmartLife app to your mobile to set up the hub. This Gateway uses a 2.4GHz wireless channel to connect to your home router and you need to connect your mobile with the SmartLife app installed to the same 2.4GHz channel on your router when setting up the Gateway . Once I did that, setup proceeded smoothly, the Gateway was automatically discovered and updated with the latest software from the internet. When setup is complete, the phone can be put back on the 5Ghz wireless channel, if that is the normal one used.Even with the Gateway setup, it was still not possible to get the switch to be recognised. I tried moving the Gateway to the same room as the switch but with no luck. Eventually I disconnected the switch and wired one gang into the light switch in the same room as the router and the gateway. Once all the power was back on and the switch put into pairing mode, the Gateway immediately detected it and registered the device. After yet another round of switching off the power, moving the light switch back to the intended location in the hallway and reconnecting the power, the switch was still visible and controllable in the App.It proved a bit of fiddle to install the switch neatly. The faceplate screws provided in the box are not the correct size for UK backing boxes but luckily I had some spare ones. Also the Schneider ring is not quite the same faceplate profile as the swich so the two do not fit seamlessly one on the other. I intend to fit a 35mm backing box and ditch the spacing ring once I’ve psyched myself up for some chiselling…Overall I am very pleased with the combination of Moes switch and Gateway coupled with Alexa and the Echo Dot speaker. • I can use Alexa to switch either light on and off by voice command • I can ask Alexa to tell me whether either light is on or off – an added bonus I did not expect • I have set up routines to switch the outside light on just after sunset and off just before sunriseAssuming the gateway and switch work reliably long term, I will be very happy. I expect to install two more of these switches for other locations around the house.

Neutral IS REQUIRED
I have had a few of these over the last few years, and although they look the same and have the same model number, clearly the design has been updated.These used to work perfectly fine with no neutral wire, however the new version appears to have some voltage bleed between circuits if you get the 2 or 3 gang ones. So, despite being sold as ‘no neutral required’ and ‘no resistor required’, if you are using LED bulbs at least, you do in fact either need a neutral or resistor for correct operation.
