Highlights
Quality
I just installed a pair of these and super impressed with the grouping functions
This was a great surprise great ingeniosity was used to design this product
I didnt intend to buy the one with the motion sensor but it was easily disabled
I wish it worked with the smartlife app
Competitiveness
Works better than other 3way switches dimmer i tried amazons brand doesnt brighten as much works easily with google and alexa
It also has a lower profile than leviton so i found them an easier fit
The intended app is terrible to use in its current state and lacks features found in competitors smart lineups
Its also more expensive in canada than in the us even taking into account the exchange rate
