DID YOU do a video on when your wife kept switching the power switch on and it resets all your colour bulbs? Have you a link to it please ive lost where i saw it and thought the device would be great for my kitchen as ever time some one comes to repair boiler or waser they reset all by bulbs 😱🙅♂️🤣🤣🤣😊 Thank you love your channe and advicel!🫠
Seems to be buggy! could it be that the wifi signal is weak and losing connections as I messed about again to see if I could detect it again and it did not connect it just worked again so not had enough experiences to know what going on here seems a wifi issues to me but need to ask? :-)
No thats not me
Zigbee maybe a better option
@@GeekStreet I have a Zigbee hub but I don't think the range is good on it!
Hello. I've just started a smart home setup with the new Echo gen 4 speakers, will i still need a zigbee hub on top of these? My wall switch has no neutral - any other switch suggestions welcome.
Thanks for the informative videos
Hi, thanks for your videos. I have purchased the tuya gateway + some smart switchers wihtout neutral wire, all works fine. I have also bought an Aqara wireless switch and I cannot pair it to the tuya gateway. Do you think if it's possible to do so? thanks!
Every day new informative video..well done . Well done 👌👌
Thanks bro, your comment is really appreciated.
Well done
I heard that the "with neutral" switch from Mijia does function, at the same time, as a Zigbee mesh/router, whereas the "no neutal" version doesn't. Is it also the case for Tuya/Yagusmart? Any idea? Thanks in advance! Cheers
I have HIVE installed and this also uses Zigbee with a hub. Does anyone have experience of running two Zigbee networks and Hub. Any contention ?
Good informative video.
Please do the review about neutral wire aqara swich😘
Quick question: if you have your echo and light switch assigned to a room/group can you just say lights on and get the lights turned on in that location, rather than have to add room in front?
This style of smart switches is my favorite. They come in many variants, i.e. brands, indicator LED colors, wireless radios (WiFi and Zigbee). Thanks for reviewing the Zigbee version! Can you please share where you got yours and how long the delivery to the UK took? Cheers!
Thanks for the comment, details in the description.
Hi, Any Idea if these are able to be controlled by home assistant ?
Thanks again for the helpful video! You mention no Neutral wire but does it need one of them capitors in the light switches to the live and nuteral?
Thanks, no thats not required.
is there no way of reversing the indicator LED? That the LED is ON when the light is OFF? Such an indicator seems more useful in the dark when you are looking for the switch rather than when the light is already on.
Did you find something out about this?
@@epyhemina2084 nope, perhaps if you flash them with custom firmware. It doesn't bother me anymore tbh
@@h3liumb0y k, thanks
Hi, after we set timer schdule, is it possible to run the schdule when there is no connection wifi?
If write on device box only zigbee wifi and I want for only wifi switch can I connect like wifi switch without module, for explain I ask about module becouse zigbee version usually use with module
Usually, the "no-neutral" switches require a minimum load. So if you have a 4W LED bulb (rare case for lighting the whole room), it might not work.
Thanks for the comment and info, useful to know.
@@GeekStreet Slap a 400v 4uF ac capacitor across the load might want to put a 470k resistor across also for the capacitor to discharge through, works for led and fluorescent, I've also just purchased a no neutral light switch that uses everyday wifi.
djbare9 were do you install the capacitor? On live and neutral before light?and the ressitor?thanks
Always check data sheet about minimum load ;-)
yes good point but what about outdoor lighting how would it inpack this?
Nice video and a nice looking switch. Do you know how deep it is? Will it fit in a standard UK shallow back box? PS: I the AliExpress link is broken
Thanks for the comment, its 2.5cm deep and the average UK back box is 2.5cm. Best to measure before you buy. Thanks for the heads up on the link I'll get it updated soon.
Does it work as a Zigbee repeater? The Aqara wall switch H1 No Neutral doesn´t
Another very clear and precise video explanation. Is there any advantage to using a zigbee hub as opposed to just Wi-Fi as shown in some of your previous video's.
Thanks you for the comment much appreciated. One thing I missed in the video is testing timers with the internet disconnected. That is one of the biggest advantages of using a hub system like the Philip's hue these things still work. Let me test and get back to you to confirm if it works.
And just to add, one massive advantage of this switch is the fact you don't really have to mess around with electrics for example change wiring adding things to the existing wiring, it's just a simple simple replacement.
@@GeekStreet Ok thanks for the info.. I do have a two gang yagusmart Wi-Fi switch controlling a ceiling light and a pair of wall lights and it's great with alexa.
Does it have to connect to a gateway first or I can connect it to alexa
As ever great review, just one question, If you lose internet can you switch light on by just using switch just like a normal switch or is it wifi dependant?
Thanks for the comment, much appreciated. Yes it will work as a normal light switch if the internet goes down!
@@GeekStreet does it works with LAN (no internet)
What happens if the entire electricity goes off for some time and then goes on ? Does the switch reset and the light goes on ? Does it remember the latest state?
Hey, I've ordered a couple of Lonsonho-branded models of this switch (looks identical, same Tuya platform etc.) I just wondered if you knew if a 2 or 3 gang switch could be used to control a physical light and a smart light. Let me expand; in our lounge we have two ceiling pendants and some Hue-powered wall lights. At present there is a physical 2-gang switch and a Hue Tap on the wall controlling each element. My plan was to wire in a 3-way version of this switch, with two of the switches controlling the physical lights and the third a "logical" switch linked to the Hue lights. The only downfall I could see is if the third switch needs a switched live to activate it or if the unit simply having power from the other two gangs will suffice.
Yes the is possible, with ifttt. Take a look at this its another option.
ruclips.net/video/WnwC6UYG-ng/видео.html
@@GeekStreet thanks for the reply. My Lonsonho-branded switches turned up today (they are the same X71X a devices as yours, the last X signifies the number of gangs so I think yours were X711 and mine are X712 and X713 for 2 and 3 gang respectively). I connected the 3 gang up today but could not get it to pair with my deCONZ gateway (and don't really want a 3rd party gateway) but I'm wondering if I had my wiring wrong because both switches turned on both lights in my room but if I used switch 1 they stayed on but if I used switch 2 they came on briefly then turned off. There was a also a really annoying buzzing from the capacitor in the light fitting.
Did you fit the capacitor and do you hear any noise from it?
I've ordered a live wire detector from Amazon to make sure I have my switched lives the right way round (I assumed they were correct at the switch but best to double check). I had to put two wires into common and then one each of the switched lives into L1 and L2 for each light fitting.
Almost certainly got my wiring back to front - on the switch I took off, red was in L1 and black in common so I wired it the same in the switch - it worked but not correctly, so I presume (but will wait for my tester to arrive) that actually, red is common and black is L1/switched live (as per various wiring diagrams I've seen since). I wonder if the capacitor buzzing was related to this.
@@igorkovacevic9664 they can be used as virtual switches no problem.
Another informative video, do I need a Benexmart Zigbee hub, or will other manufactures hubs work ok?
Thanks for the comment much appreciated, in theory any Zigbee hub should work but just to note I couldn't get it working with the Philips Hue bridge.
Actually not all zigbee talks to each other. Like at first I tried to get tuya gateway with Aqara sensor. They don’t work. So I’m wondering if this work with smartthing
The Ali Express link isn;t working. Does anyone have a valid one? Can't seem to find it.
Hey, I've seen the 1-3 gang versions on Amazon. How do you rate this switch? Been looking for a ZigBee light switch with no neutral.
If not, are there are any others you'd recommend? Want to keep it all ZigBee to keep it separate from WiFi devices. I also have a Hubitat and HA.
Thanks!
I do like the build quality of the lights, I prefer this to the no neutral with a capacitor. Its definitely a good option.
Great video mate.
So this doesn't need a capacitor on the light fitting?
Thanks for the comment much appreciated. Yes that's right...no messing around fitting a capacity! Just need to get a Zigbee Gateway.
@@GeekStreet Nice! You're the man!!
@@GeekStreet so you just fit it like your replacing any old light switch, no neutral and no capacitor??
I tried this with multiple lights and soon as I install it the light just starts blinking! Any suggestions would greatly help, thanks.
This might sound like a dumb question, but is there a maximum range where the zigbee gateway can operate? ie if my gateway and switch are in rooms 100ft apart will they work? Or is there some sort of repeater technology in each zigbee device that helps with connectivity to the gateway?
I've read online maximum range upto 200ft. Obviously walls etc can affect that.
Hi
Is there anyway to add this switch to smartthings hub
Can it work with philips hue hub ?
Will it work with the Sonoff EWeLink πω zνeegbe ;;
can i use it at my fan
Hi, I have a question. This is a no neutral solution, so am I right that if you turn it on with application on your phone, and after you turn the switch off with your finger, the status of the light in your phone remains like turned on? I mean, do google assistant knows whether that switch is turned on, if you turned the switch on manually by pressing the wall switch?
Yes I'd like to know this as well
Please can you do a review about xioami aqara hub and their smart switches. 👍
I'll add that to my list of items to get.
@@GeekStreetSuperb. I hope you buy it soon.
Apple HomeKit??
Hi dear,this key suitable for the scenario? I want to use a motion sensor or door sensor.
Yes it should work with that!
Will this work with ZHA
link of the uk isn't working
Dear friend, good morning, thank you for your video. I know its been a while since you posted it but I would like to know if it is still working fine up to now, and if I can make it work with my Echo Studio zigbee hub. Best regards!
Yes working fine but unfortunately doesn't work with the Echo zigbee hub.
@@GeekStreet oh no, I should have waited for you answer before ordering one 😅
Oh no 🤣😂
Hi there Geek Street. I have the same switch in 3 gang configuration. One switch is connected to a 7W LED spotlight. I'm encountering flicker issues. Would a capacitor or maybe a higher capacity spotlight, say 12W solve this issue? Thanks for reading.
That flicking is related to the bulb, I was testing out recently and found that when I flipped over to using wifi spotlights or a different bulb it didn't happen. I think a capacity may help in your situation as thats why they give it with some no neutral switches.
@@GeekStreet Thanks so much for your reply. Looks like I have to get a capacitor. My smart switch did not come with it. Thanks again.
@@ShuenRayLee you're welcome.
Very useful video,
Do you know if WiFi version of switch requires zigbee hub ?
Thanks for the comment the wifi version does not require a zigbee hub.
@@GeekStreet Important note: WIFI Versions of these switche always need Neutral wire !
HI! So for this particular light switch, there is no need to install a capacitor ? Thanks.
That's right you just need to get a zigbee hub.
@@GeekStreet many thanks for the quick reply. looks like I'm buying this then. The zigbee light switches are little more expensive than the regular wifi (no neutral, but with capacitor) switches though.
@@GeekStreet oh btw- I have a Philips Hue hub (which runs on zigbee)...do I still need to get a separate hub? Thanks again.
@@yringler in theory it should work.
I have a smart switch for the bathroom and it required a capacitor.. however this has made my light flicker annoyingly. Will this method using the hub fix this issue? Thanks to anyone that can help
Does it flicker even after putting the capacitor?
Hello will this work directly with amazon echo plus or echo show
Yes
What If I bought 2 gang switch, will it turn of lights individually or all at same time, when I use it as smart switch.
Individually
Geek Street Thanks a lot for quick respones! Great videos!
@@Ivan0001 you're welcome, anytime.
If i don’t use zigbee hub... will the switch still work using my standard internet wifi router?
No
Is a Zigbee gateway required for the switch to connect to WiFi?
Yes
Is the wall switch going to work when internet is down? Like a "dumb" switch?
Yes, I've already tested and it works.
I have several rooms where I am interested in fitting these, for reference I'm in Ireland so the setup and regulations would be similar to you. My halls are of particular concern though and I was wondering if you knew what way if at all they could work. I have an upstairs and downstairs hall. upstairs there are 2 single switches to turn on and off the the upstairs light. Downstairs there are also 2 single switches for the downstairs light. At the bottom of the stairs though there is a double switch where 1 switch does upstairs and 1 does downstairs. My question which I'm hoping you may have an idea on is how would these operate if I was to replace all of the switches in the hall. The result would be that I would have 3 of these on each light.
Can they operate that way? Is there interference? If I switch on the upstairs light from from the double, would the 2 singles know the light is on and know that the next press of the switch would be to turn off the light.
All of my switches have no neutral so these are looking to be the best option I can see.
This video shows a way of doing what you're after.
ruclips.net/video/W2pcYp2pPWA/видео.html
As a suggestion you may have to remove the 2 way lighting curcuit wiring.
Is this need/install with a capacitor ?
No need, just need a Zigbee hub.
Any idea if this works with Home Assistant?
I think it does if you check out the documentation for Home Assistant and look for Tuya integration.
Excuse Me, Does It Require to Use the Additional Capacitor on the Bulb…? 🙏
No not at all just a zigbee gateway. Its the best and i have to say the safest solution.
@@GeekStreet, Thanks So Much for Your Information, and May GOD Bless You Always Sir…… 🙏
Does all zigbee smart switch no need capacitor? Or it depends ie the zigbee mechanical switch need capacitor and zigbee touch switch don't need capacitor?
I've never come across a zigbee light switch that requires a capacitor, as they don't require a neutral connection.
Thanks for the swift reply!
@@luviedoggie no problem!
is this just on / off switch ? can it control dimable gu10's ?
Just on / off, no dimming option.
Can the switch be controlled from any location just like WIFI?
Yes
How do I wire in if I have two switches in the room, so it’s 2 way?
Take a look at this video, it will give you an idea.
ruclips.net/video/W2pcYp2pPWA/видео.html
Geek Street I watched that video and it’s a very clever way around the issue. But I’m confused as to how that works with this particular switch, as there’s no neutral.
Will it fit to Indian Roma switch plate
Only if its a 1 Gang back plate.
How stable has this product been for you so far? I heard that no neutral wire devices are less reliable
Mine has been fine no issues, so far.
Be aware about the minimum elctrical load the switch needs. Check data sheet for deatils. Example: AQARA Switches needs at least 3W load .
you say i need a Zigbee hub for this to work, I have the SmartThings Hub would this work it ? or do i still need yet another hub...
Sorry for asking but im new to all this smart tech. I thought once i got the SmartThings hub that would do for just about everything i needed to use..
In theory it should work but I've not tested it.
I'm really strugglibg to understand which hub to use as I have 2 already and no clues on the tuya instuctions on how to connect it plus the added frustrations of the way the old lighting is fitted too very old way and there wireing is not the best organized way for me to figure the L1 l2 com on the two way switch can you help any further on this for me please? I have sent a message to Tuya who are also not being very helpful! Thanks
I've used with both of these products
ruclips.net/video/_mM9WZmE9Nw/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/5xXorxPrRuI/видео.html
You mention L1 L2 COM are you using on a 2 way hallway switch? If so this isnt going to work it's only for a one way switches. Let me send you a video link on how to do this for a 2 way switch.
This is the easiest methed
ruclips.net/video/W2pcYp2pPWA/видео.html
A slightly more complex one is this

@@GeekStreet Brilliant thank you so much! Yes its a two way switch!
This is the one I got! (MOES Tuya ZigBee Smart Touch Switch, Requires Tuya ZigBee Hub, No Neutral Wire No Capacitor Needed, also Works with L & N wire, Compatible with Smart Life Tuya App Alexa Google Home, 2 Gang, White)wil it be ok? I tried to connect but had hub issues but this might be down to me not testing the right hub! Id also be wanting to have it in Smartlife App as I like everything in one place! Thanks!
@@GeekStreet Also the internet connectivities are not brilliant at this location for the switch. At the Moment I have it turning the downstair light on bu teh bulb and sensors and teh switch as to be on all of the time so I thought might some how to use a switch but now I'm not too sure!
If you don't have internet is that physical button works?
Yes it will work
@@GeekStreet thanks for the quick reply
Did you have any issues with flickering led lights with this?
That sounds odd, I've not experienced that.
It seems to be a common experience with smart light switches that do not use a neutral from my research so far. People are having to place a suppressor of some king across the live and neutral in the light fitting
@@MrOlleyOlley do you mean flickering when off or on?
I think when it is off. I don’t have any switches yet I’m just researching
@@MrOlleyOlley now interesting you say that I tested on a 150W equivalent LED bulb and I did notice a flicker when the bulb was off but to note I didn't get that with LED spotlights!?
Would it work without the internet?
Yes, it work without internet as well as without connection to the zigbee hub, nice manual fall back in case automation is in trouble

I would like to know too. 😂😂
Hi I have several with Smartthings hub only. Just search and will show as Thing. Change Name and set to Zigbee switch within ide. Only issues i have are flickering bulbs.
Karl Edlin
Hi.I’d like to buy this switch.Does it have this flickering issue with any kind (wattage) of led bulb?if you tried it...Thank you
@@karledlin5277 you mentioned to changed in ide can you explain please
Why put "WiFi" in the title of a video about a Zigbee switch? WiFi and Zigbee may operate on similar frequencies, but are very different animals. A "geek" channel like this one should know the difference (most Amazon/eBay sellers don't).
You know what I've been doing so many videos lately completely missed that, thanks for highlighting....let me update.
DO NOT use the aliexpress link. it points to a different switch which requires neutral and looks exactly the same! I got mistaken and bought the wrong one due to this!
Hi apologies for this. Have corrected the link and it now points to the right one. Thanks for pointing this out!
