A smart light switch that’s easy to install
Switchmate’s manufacturers say the setup only takes one second, and that may not be an exaggeration considering all you have to do is attach it to the screws on your existing light switch’s wall plate. It’s all magnetic, so you might not even need any tools unless the packaging gives you trouble.
Once it’s attached, you can connect the Switchmate to your smartphone using the iOS or Android app. The app lets you set timers and operate your light switch remotely(Opens in a new tab). If you’re on vacation but want your home to seem lived in, just flip a few switches or set a timer that turns out the lights around bedtime.
When you’re home, you don’t even need your phone to operate your Switchmate. All you need is your voice. No voice hub is required to use the Switchmate’s voice controls, but you can pair it with the Smart Power Outlet(Opens in a new tab) if you want to connect it to your Google Assistant or Alexa.
Control your lights with your phone
You can make your home a little smarter without getting into the wiring, and there’s no need to worry about an apartment landlord when uninstalling the Switchmate. (In fact, you should probably take it with you.) If you buy before February 23 at 11:59 p.m. PT, you can get a Switchmate 2.0(Opens in a new tab) on sale for $15.99 (reg. $29). No coupon needed.
