It has a touch interface which is responsive and can work without connecting to the internet making the overall design very robust . The app interface is also very good & provides many useful features .

Hello elleyes company ke board me ye smart switch fit nahi go rahi hai to kyaa ham board ko thoda niche se cut kr karke lga skte hai kyaa ?
Only your electrician can guide you in this matter.
Does this switches fit with the Phillips Reo board?
You will get a list of compatible switches on their website
Hello sir. I know i'm commenting after a long time. I want to know if i can use this swtich for my 65 inch QD-LED TV? The TV operating volatage is 210-240 watts
You can definitely do that but have to choose the switch wattage & model accordingly
@@ItsMytake I've bought this exact model that you reviewed in the video - but 2 gang switch instead of 4. The specification of the model that i bought says Wattage: 1000 Watts and Current Rating 15 Amp. But the TV shows Votlage 240 Volts and Wattage 260 Watts. The socket that i bought has Operating Voltage 240 volts and Ratings 10A/20A. These numbers are confusing me on whether the 2 gang switch and socket will work with the TV or not. Sorry for the long questions. And thanks!
@@gauravdorjelama it will work as as per them each switch can handle 1000w in 2 gang switch n tv is just 260w dont worry.
@@ItsMytake thank you, sir!
@@gauravdorjelama welcome
What is your take on connecting with Home Assistant? Can it be done?
Definitely that's the whole point , I am using it with google home
Also when power is off and on can the switch stay in last state? I. E. before power failure if it is in on state then after power resumes it should be in on state only or if it is in off state after power resumes it be in off state only.
yes you have option in app where you can choose which state switch gets after power failure .
Does inching function work on the app? Since I tried it but it didn’t work for me
I have not used it , but i guess it only works for solo control switches but not sure or may be a software glitch
Can you program the switches?
For example, I have a smart fan which doesn't respond from regulator, only from alexa, remote, or app
I want that on pressing the button on the panel it will send a message to alexa and alexa will increase/decrease the fan speed
As in can we decide a software to run on pressing 1 of the switch?
you can directily tell alexa or google home to switch on or off the switch just like any other smart home appliance but no advance program possible in switch you can do it through google routines .
Can I configure 1 switch as momentary on switch? (Like when I press the switch it is on for 30 seconds and off automatically?
yes you can by going in timer function then selecting switch & choose inching function for that particular switch . in inching function you can set time after that time passes swatch will switch off automatically .
Do we need switch for fan or the switch is included in regulator ?
Well I have not purchased it as I have atomberg smart fans but I don't think you need separate switch
Plz suggest me best switchs Norsiys or northwest?????
Smart switch lene ke bd to smart socket nhi lena pdega ? Suppose agr srf switch lga le to ac me work krega?
Yes sir . Smart socket not required
Is there any tactile feel for the buttons? Does is vibrate slightly, or give a click feel? or is it completely just a capacitive touch?
its just a touch no feedback , but you can hear a click each time you touch it due to the relay switching on n off.
Homemate does not have universal socket
Is smarteefi switch boards good?
Are smarteefi and homemate both comparatively same?
Plz visit the official homemate website they have given the entire list of compatible brands . Also you can call there customer care number for precise answers.
Are ismei apnei atomberg ka fan connect kiya hai kya ?
Mai bhi leneka soch raha hu,
Apko koi problem hua abhi tak aur iska range kitna hoga roughter se ?
yes i have connected atomberg fan too. Regarding the range it depends on your Wifi route not switch. but mostly u need router or access point in each room .
@@ItsMytake ok bro i have a concern that i have a normal modular switch board full size it will be ok in every modular board? Or specifically for roma ?
@@a.cgamerz8311 no its compatible with many boards the entire list is given on homemate website plz go through it.
Sir ek switch se multiple mobile connect ho sakte hai kya, jaise living room ke switches se mera or papa mammi dono ka mobile connect ho skta hai ek sath???
Yes you can add family members after creating home & adding switches in app
Thank you Mandar Ji for a fabulous review. You have explained every conceivable question very clearly. I have Legrand Mylinc and Myrius switch boxes. Please confirm if the HomeMate smart switches are compatible. Thanks
Sir they have mentioned many switches on their website with which these are compatible but i would suggest you ask them on amazon or their helpline for precise answer.
one question. I light indicator for turning off/on etc, can the indicator itself can be turned off??? Like when I have to sleep, I don't want to see either white light coming or blue or whatever. I want the indicators to be off. Is that possible? and if yes, can u make a video abt it and show??
Also if the indicators can be off only when the switch is off, is there a possibility in the app where I can keep the switch ON while turn the indicator off??
No that indicator can't be turned off
put a black tape on the iights. no one will notice the tapes.
1.) Do you get turn on/off notifications on your phone?
2.) Can you restrict access to certain switches via phone?
1.. thankfully you dont get on off notifications.
2.. i dont think thats possible .
@@ItsMytake Thanks for your prompt reply. This is a deal breaker for me.
Its possible do automation that when switch is on turn it off
@@himanshududhankar you can set advance control in google home using "routines"
Hi, Can i power ON/Off these switches from abroad through my mobile phone?
Yes via internet. Both you & switches needs to be connected
THank you, could you let me know which one is better: Homemate smart devices or Wipro smart devices?
both are different Wipro makes devices which plug in on existing sockets while homemaker are smart switches making normal sockets n devices smart.
oh right, Homemate at switches which Wipro doesn't have, but I see there are common devices also like plugs and modules. Basically which ecosystem is better?
@@SantoshTHM i would definitely vouch for smart switch as its a instigated solution and doesn't add a extra layer . but all this solutions only give you ability to switch on and off and schedule for rest functionality you also need a smart device and in that case a normal switch is good choice.
Can we operate all 4 switches saperterly using google home? Or it just turn on all the lights at once
Yes ,you can control each switch out of the 4 individually using google home by naming them .
Sir, har 1switch ko alg nam de skte hai kya
Yes you can
Are these switches durable? Lifecycle of these switches?
Yes mine are working fine almost for 2 years now
Kya hum isko 2 ton ac k liye use kr sakte hei ?
Yes with the higher capacity 24A switch
Mobile hotspot pe easyly work karega ye or accurately reading deta hai ye ??
If you want it to work seamlessly and for long term local wifi is necessary
Kindly tell I want purchase 24amp but it is outstock of Amazon where can buy
You can directly buy from Homemate web site too
Will this be compatible with gold medal air series plate
sir the detailed compatibility list is given on there website you can confirm it there .
Can We Still Control The Fans or Bulbs when there is no internet. i did the similar thing but can be controlled without internet too
Yes, but using manual / physical touch interface
@@ItsMytake such as two way switches right!
@@SanjeevStephan no sir just like normal switch as 2 way switches have control buttons on 2 locations here either you can control it by voice , app or by physical touch but switch is present only on 1 location
Will it fit in Anchor Ziva series...?😊
A detail list of compatability is given on Homemate website
@@ItsMytake could you please share link..
@@akshatpandey7473 homemate.co.in/product/wi-fi-4g-touch-panel/ you can even have a whats app chat on website its given on bottom right
Whether switch works manually without wifi?
Yes they do via physical touch interface
if we have turned ON few switches and then power goes OFF later we leave house and then power comes back ON so, all switches will turn back ON, is there any alternative to turn them OFF after power is gone?
another scenario where few switches are ON in room1 and power is gone and you have moved to other room2 and you want to turn ON few switches in room2 and switch OFF switches room1 when power comes back on
There is a setting for that.
Agar switch chalu ho aur power cut hoke wapas power hone par auto chalu ho jati hai ya fir se chalu karna padta hai
There is setting in app where you can choose the default state in case of power cut .. on off or last state
Thanks for this more informative video
My pleasure
Sir, Can you tell me, are these switches rain proof/ waterproof/ weatherproof?
no they are not weather proof , these are for indoor use only .
@@ItsMytake Thank you.
welcome
When I use timer turned on inching and go back to main menu, it doesn’t save preset, when I open again inching option it’s on default mode again every time
That's new for me. I use schedule not inch mostly for high amp switches installed on my geyser n it's working fine. Plz try n contact the customer care n get it sorted.
How connect inverter wire to smart switch and also 2 way connection?
I don't think it has 2 way connect as you don't need it now you have google home & app support. Regarding inverter I think customer care can guide you better.
Kiya ye DC inverter carrunt pe kam karegi..?
I dont know about Dc but it will work with normal home inverters.
Can each switch be renamed? So i have 2 fan, 2 tube light.. so can it be renamed left fan, left tube and right fan, right tube?
Yes in 4 gang switch you can name each switch.
@@ItsMytake 4 gang switch means 4 types of lights can be connected into one board right?
@@AkashSingh-fu7bv 4 gang means our normal 4 buttons on switch board so you can connect devices accordingly ideally 4 .
@@ItsMytake got it, thank you.
@@AkashSingh-fu7bv welcome
Is Every point need independent neutral ????
Each switch needs 1 neutral connection
Does it shows how much electricity consumption it is making ?
No .
Can i connect celling fan that consume 56w ?
Yes
@@ItsMytake Thankyou

Happy 10k

Jiske Ghar me wifi nhi laga he wo kaise use kar skta hai. Kya mobile data se chal sakta hai
no then they have to use with physical touch like normal switch .
Which one is better, smart switch or smart plug for geyser?
Smart switch whenever you can use it as smart plug is a 2 layer solution while other is lvl 1 solution. Also smart switch looks better.
@@ItsMytake thanks bro. Does it consume electricity when not in use? I need to provide the solution for 3 bathrooms and am in a little confusion which option to go for as the cost doubles, your opinion on homemate smart plug ?
@@SonyTv701 it will take some electricity but it will be very nominal . If your existing switch board permits to install smart switches go for it . Smart switches is a more streamlined solution than a smart plug .
Does it work with Inverter?
Yes
iski light off krne ki koi option hai kya wo white nd blue light
no . those are to show switch status is on or off .
Bina wifi ka use kar sakte h kya
Yes like normal switches by touch
Can we use it on Hifi board
Dint get your question n hifi board

Multiple device how to connect and how to another mobile to share
You can share it via home management. The primary account can add other family members accounts n invite them to control the home
स्विच के अंदर जो लाइट जल रही है क्या वो हमेशा ग्लो करता रहेगा??
yes when its off in white color n when its on in blue color but if you are thinking of cost , if all your switches are like this also according to me it will not cost you more than 300 to 400 a year
