Does this switch have any type of status led indicator that is viewable in a dark bedroom at night?
Jack A
on Dec 15, 2019
BEST ANSWER: There is a tiny blue indicator LED at the bottom left of the switch, but it turns off when the switch is off. If you dim the light to 0% instead of turning it off, the light stays on, It's not particularly bright either.

yes, it has a small blue LED at the bottom when it is on. I like it. It is not obnoxiously bright as some others are, and it is only on when the switch is on. Oh, and it is green during setup and pairing.

There is a small blue led indicator that illuminates on the switch when the light is on, but it turns off when the light is off, so there is no indicator in the dark.

Only once you have the switch configured. Initially the switch works as a normal switch with no led, after connectivity with the app the led will be blue(ish).

Will this dimmer switch support having more than one LED bulb connected? I was stunned to find out that the TP-LINK dimmer switch does not support more than ONE dimmable LED bulb per switch! I need a switch that has no problem with supporting (and dimming) multiple dimmable LED bulbs per fixture.

How do you dim the light from the switch?
Michael C
on Jun 20, 2019
BEST ANSWER: When the light is on, to lower the brightness just press continuously on the low side of the 'paddle'. To increase the brightness press continuously on the top end of the 'paddle'. Note: If you do a quick short pres,s the light will turn off, so be sure to keep the press for a longer duration.

A quick push up and the light turns on to the last dim level set. If you push and hold the light you can change the dim level. A quick push down and the light will fade to off.

WIll a future version support 3-way wiring using the integrated "traveler" wire connection?
jim m.
on Jan 17, 2019
BEST ANSWER: While this isn't an answer about this product - iDevices dimmer switches are one of the few that work as 3-way smart switches. However, they do NOT use the traveler wire. That wire gets capped, and they use BT to communicate with each other. The way it works is it basically converts your 2 switches into only 1 switch that controls the light, and the other switch tells the first switch over BT to turn the light on/off. Only reason I state it here is for those that are looking for 3-way capabilities out of a smart switch. Unfortunately they are WAY more expensive than these.

While I haven't purchased this switch yet (I plan to just to try them out since they are so cheap comparatively), I do have some of the stitch outlets and I was NOT able to add them to my Harmony remote setup. I wanted the ability to turn my subwoofer on by pressing one of the programmable buttons on my Harmony remote. That was a no-go. Harmony really didn't support much as far as 3rd party devices.

Works good once you get it setup.
Setup took a long time and was not easy. Will most likely be pitching them and going with a brand that works with Samsung Smarthings hub. It's one of those things...you want to do all Monoprice smart outlets/switches or all something else so you don't have 2 apps running everything. If these worked with Smarthings - would be 5 stars. Even still, setup was a pain.

It's NOT a 3-Way!
Pretty simple, I'm an electrician and have wired thousands of devices. I saw this item and quickly read the description, looked at the pictures, read a couple reviews... should work for what I needed.
I received the switch, wired it up, doesn't work as a 3-way! Why not just put that in the description or the specs? Only found out after installing it and having to get out the instructions where it says in tiny little letters "...Despite the presence of the Traveler line, this dimmer switch does not support 3-way switch function...".
My indication that it would work is looking at the pictures where it clearly shows the traveler screw, why have it there if it's not functional?
Super irritating !!!

Only issue I had... was me.
A couple months ago I upgraded three recessed lights to LED, and I got the highest lumen units I could find because more is more, right? I installed them and noted that it was considerably brighter than we were used to, so a dimmer switch would give us more flexibility over the lighting, and while we're at it why not try dipping my toes into home automation?
Installation was a snap because I own a screwdriver, I know to turn off the breaker, and there was a common run to the existing switch (you should probably confirm that before buying one of these; it is required to power the WiFi connecting piece). The switch worked manually right out of the gate. Connecting to the 2GHz AES WPA2 WiFi on my Mikrotik smart switch proved much more daunting, however. For some reason the light would go from flashing to solid, like it had connected to a valid WiFi AP, and yet the app would never ever find the switch. I fought with it for a couple hours, reset the light switch lots of times, changed my WiFi settings to TKIP, WPA, no security, all to no avail. I gave up, vowing to mess with it again later when I had time to call up and complain.
Two weeks later I was connecting an old Kindle Fire which used to work but hadn't been used in awhile. It connected just fine to a cheap 5GHz WiFi router provided by the cable company, but it was unable to connect to the 2GHz on my much-more-powerful-but-lacking-5GHz-capability router. Then it dawned on me: I had at some point set up mac address filtering, and that's why nothing new was allowed to connect to the 2GHz. Added the mac to my security profile and sure enough, it was working just fine if I'd just remember enough to get out of my own way.
So long story short, I avoided calling and complaining about issues that support couldn't have helped me with anyway, and this device works perfectly provided you've got two wires run to your light switch and 2GHz WiFi, preferably secured with WPA2 AES, because anything less is just asking to have someone borrow your home internet connection without telling you...
