The media could not be loaded. Quick review:This button does exactly what you hope it would do. It's easy to install via the 3M sticky tape on the back of the wall mount, so no need for drilling or holes! Programming it in the Wiz app (v2) was straight forward and took less than 2 minutes. A bit of technical knowledge is useful when programing, but if you're adding physical buttons to your smart home, you [probably] already know that. It also functions as a dimmer switch, as well as full-on, full-off single button presses.You can link this button to a single lightbulb, rooms, or even multiple rooms full of lights. It's nice that you can remove the button from the wall mount and use it as a mobile remote. Just place it back in the mount when you're done and the magnets will hold it in place until the next time you need it.Longer Review:If you're like me, you love the concept of smart home automation. And if you're even more like me, you refuse to pay Philips Hue pricing for lightbulbs and peripherals. This lead me to buying multiple Amazon deals and sale items over the years, which meant I had to have 3-4 different apps on my phone to run them all. Yes, these apps can all be managed in groups by Alexa, Google Home, etc., but the fact is, there was no overall device that can send a lighting cue to multiple different brands of lights via Google or Alexa (that I found, anyways). It's also a drag when people who are visiting, and perhaps a bit less tech savvy, want to turn lights on and off with no physical switch in the room. It's unreasonable to expect my 65 year old father-in-law to bust out his phone, which he barely uses, to open an app and fumble around looking for the proper lighting groups in the house.That's where Wiz has changed the game. They sell plenty of different lighting and outlet options that all link to a single app (a very well designed, user-friendly app, might I add), that you then link to your Smart Home service of choice. They are affordably priced and the build quality seems on par with what you'd expect. The colors of the lights are accurate enough, although not as rich as Hue lights. But I can buy 8 Wiz bulbs for the price of 3 Hue bulbs, so I can live with that.We have since converted nearly all of our smart bulbs throughout the house over to Wiz and it's been a dream. We use this particular wireless button to control 4 bulbs in our living room (see the video review), and some of their wireless remotes throughout other rooms in the house to control different sections as needed. I was initially shocked at how simple these were to pair and setup via the Wiz V2 app. As mentioned before, programming and setting these up isn't for everybody, but chances are you will find their instructions easy enough to follow along.It runs off of 2 AAA batteries, which I haven't had to change yet (purchased this about 3 months ago). And stays connected to my wifi with 0 issues.If it has any weaknesses at all, I would say that the magnets in the button and wall mount could be a tad bit stronger. I have knocked it out of it's mount by mistake, but that falls under "user error", in my opinion. Under general use with proper care, this switch should last a long time.All in all, my family and guests have been very happy to have a physical button to press when they need lighting control, and I would recommend to anyone who's invested in the Wiz line of smart bulbs in their home or business.

These work great to allow guests that don't have the wiz app to control lights in a room. (Or for quick control when you don't have your phone handy). They work flawlessly and you can assign 4 different "scene" controls to the 4 buttons, which is really nice.

The Wiz remote light switch works with Wiz Smart Bulbs to allow you to turn them off and on and set one of four programs. The remote is the size of most remotes for TVs etc. and has a few buttons on the face. You can connect it to a single light bulb or to all the bulbs in a room. (When you install Wiz Smart Bulbs you can choose a room that they are in and then control all the bulbs at once based on the room.)The basic function is on or off. However there is a button for "night light" mode and a + and - control for brightness and four other buttons. Each of the four buttons can be programmed to set the light(s) to a pre-determined setting such as daylight, warm white, relaxing, etc. When the bulbs are installed and connected to the app you just go into the app and add the remote switch. Then while in the app you choose what each of the four customizable buttons does. It makes it easy to choose from one of the presets.After connecting everything up (bulbs and remote switch) which takes only minutes and choosing the programs for the lights the switch is ready to use and you don't have to use the app to control those settings. However all the same things could be done using the app on your smart phone.The one drawback and the reason for four stars instead of five is the the remote can be used for only one room. If you have set up multiple rooms and want to use a remote for each room you will need to have a remote for each room, you can press a button and switch the remote to a different room.I have found the remote to be reliable, it has never failed to control the lights in the room we set it up in. Connectivity is great and easy to set up. The price is good (so purchasing more than one isn't a big expense but mark the in some way so you know which goes where!

Very convenient. Works well, no problems connecting. Downside is that it can only control one "room"
