The Italian styling and long feature list do come at a hefty price though.
The sleek Italian design is eye-catching, even without the added visual appeal of the backlight.
In the UK, both the one-gang and two-gang switches retail for 99.90 and are available atAmazon.
It’s alive, it’s alive, it’s alive, it’s alive, IT’S ALIVE!
There are, however, some complexities worth noting.
That aside, I can share some of my experience installing the switches.
They appear to be made of bubble gum; expensive Italian bubble gum, but still bubble gum.
It turns out, only one of the two gangs needs to be physically connected to the wiring.
The other gang, I assume, uses witchcraft…
They also work as a pulse switch for a gate or garage door.
Naturally, they also work well when used as a physical touch switch.
My home automation setup is based aroundAppleHomekit, and I found the Siri shortcuts to be a real plus.

Don’t buy it if…
Youre on a budget.
Phillips, Amazon, and Samsung all use Tuya.
Its kind of hard to avoid.
I use a Raspberry Pi running Homebridge to connect these devices to Apple Homekit and bring them all together.
I investigated the Homebridge Tuya plugin, but it involves creating a cloud development project and other convoluted steps.
It was easier to add the devices to SmartThings and use the Homebridge SmartThings plugin.
Ive been using the iotty smart switches as the main light controls in my home for six weeks.
