Love it.
I recently purchased the Amazon Basics 3-Way Smart Dimmer Switch and I have been extremely impressed with its functionality and ease of use. As someone who has been slowly converting my home into a smart home, I have tried out various brands and products, but this switch from Amazon Basics stands out as one of the best.First and foremost, the installation process was surprisingly simple. I was worried that I would have to hire an electrician to install the switch, but with the help of the detailed instructions provided, I was able to do it myself in just a few minutes. The switch does require a neutral wire, so make sure to check your wiring before purchasing.Once installed, I was able to connect the switch to my WiFi network and link it to my Alexa device without any issues. The 2.4 Ghz WiFi connection is strong and reliable, and I haven’t experienced any connectivity problems or delays in controlling the switch with my voice commands.The dimming function is one of the standout features of this switch. I love being able to adjust the brightness of my lights with just a simple voice command or through the Amazon Alexa app. It’s a small but convenient feature that adds a touch of luxury to my home.Another great aspect of this switch is its sleek design. The white color blends in seamlessly with my home decor, and the compact size (2.91 x 4.65 x 1.62 inches) means it fits in standard wall box. It also has a soft LED indicator light that is not too bright or distracting.Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my purchase of the Amazon Basics 3-Way Smart Dimmer Switch. It’s a high-quality product at an affordable price point, and the fact that it’s from Amazon Basics gives me peace of mind in terms of its reliability and customer service. I would highly recommend this switch to anyone looking to make their home a little smarter and more convenient.

Works & looks great
Bought this during the Prime Day sale, mostly from a decorative viewpoint as Iâve been gradually replacing the switches around the house.I wasnât looking for a âsmartâ switch but the price was right & Iâm glad I did. Itâs used in the bedroom & now I can control it without getting up – perfect for when Iâve finished reading!Easy installation, nice quality, standard size. You can calibrate the dimming.5 stars.

Work great, but be careful about Amazon Warehouse items.
These switches work great with Alexa and in my smart home. I have installed 14 Amazon switches (combination of 3-way dimmer and 3-way switches) over the past 30 days. Hardest part for 3-way wiring is always figuring out which wires in the electric box go to what. If installing a single pole (non 3-way), it is pretty straightforward assuming you have ground and neutral wires in the box (check before ordering, as no way to install without them!). If installing as a 3-way (all of my 14 but one!!!), you need to be handy with a tester and tracing wires. For all of my circuits, I used one Amazonbasics smart switch and one standard 3-way switch (I used the AmazonCommercial 3-Way Paddle switches.) No need to use 2 smart switches on each circuit.Since I was installing so many, I thought I would save a few bucks and buy some of the 3-way smart dimmers from Amazon Warehouse. DON’T DO THIS!!! IT ISN’T WORTH IT!. Apparently Amazon Warehouse takes back the switches that customers can’t figure out and ships them right back out without testing. This wasted SO MUCH of my time. Most of these were missing faceplates, screws, wirenuts, or all of the above. One dimmer switch would control my lights, but not connect to WiFi. A second dimmer switch would talk to WiFi/Alexa, but not send power to the load (light). A third box contained a single pole switch, even though I had paid for a 3-way and the box showed it was a 3-way. It was also missing everything except the switch and instruction manuals. I tried to exchange the two defective switches, but the only option I was given was to read lots of articles on how to troubleshoot! When I replace the switch with an identical one that works, and then try the defective switch in another circuit that was working, I don’t need to read articles. It’s a bad switch! :(For comparison, I have some Gosund smart switches that work very well also, but they require a third party app to set-up and communicate with Alexa. These Amazonbasics switches work directly with Alexa and make set-up and operation seamless. I’ll use and recommend Amazonbasics to anyone using the alexa environment.Again, I am thrilled with the new Amazonbasics smart switches that I installed. They work great and I will purchase more and recommend these to everyone I talk to. I will NOT purchase these switches through AmazonWarehouse again.

I must admit, I approached the Amazon Basics Three-Way Smart Switch with a hint of skepticism, but it turned out to be a delightful surprise. As a master electrician, I hold my gadgets to high standards, and this switch delivered in spades.The pairing process was a breeze, taking minimal time and effort. But what truly impressed me was the build quality. I was initially taken aback by-all plastic construction and how the chassis is thicker than the all metal counterparts on other switches. To my delight the switch sat flat on the box and the thickness still allowed the switch plate to lay flat.After a week of use, I can confidently say it’s a game-changer. Seamless integration with Alexa adds a touch of sophistication to my home. The switch feels durable and capable of standing the test of time. As a master electrician, I give it my seal of approval without any hesitation. Alexa integration at its finest.Amazon Basics, you’ve got a winner with this one!

Seems to work well

A pesar de ser un producto de Amazon Basics, cuesta mucho configurarlo. El switch no está habilitado en México y no hay forma de sincronizarlo al menos que cambias la ubicación de la cuenta de Alexa a US. Sin ese proceso, el producto no sirve.

A diferencia de otras marcas, cuentan con su propia app para sincronizar y programar, en este caso se supo que es directamente la app de Alexa, pero no te aparece el modelo de contacto, la opcion de scaner del codigo QR no funciona …. y te tardas 10 veces mas tiempo en programarlo que otras marcas, por lo cual no lo recomiendo.
