Tap Smart Wi-Fi Light Switch, White (4-Pack)

I just finished replacing my old timer switches with these Geeni TAP light switches, and honestly it could not have been any simpler. You must have a neutral wire for them to work, so this was a very simple replacement process for me. The wires are labelled on the back of the switch so there is no confusion. Once wired and the breaker turned back on it was as simple as pushing the "restart" button to begin the pairing process. Pairing took under a minute for each switch. The phone app picked them right up and I was all finished in less than 15 minutes. It took longer trying to jam all the wires back in the box as it's a little crowded in there. When off the WIFI symbol stays blue so you know they are connected, and when on the switch has a green light in the middle. I set schedules to turn the lights on at dusk and off at sunrise. When we turn the clocks ahead I can adjust my schedule in seconds from my phone, not having to go to the switch and remember a confusing process to update. All in all I couldn't be happier.

Energizing, Automation, Ecosystem-integrated. The Geeni TAP, White, No Hub Neutral Wire-Smart Light Switch can be installed into a single pole switch to add a sleek designer light switch that can be integrated into major smart assistant applications. Using the Geenie mobile app its easy to add security function, hands-free, and scene function to an appliance, room or connected load. The LED indicators under to switch show current WIFI connection status and the state of the outlet. The minimized reset and restart buttons are inconspicuous and serve as a safety should they be needed. Was able to be installed in about 15 minutes with taking the necessary precautions of cutting power and testing lines for live and load identification. Using the Geeni app you can add more function and integration into the Geeni ecosystem or other smart home automation scenes. The all plastic design is simple and durable and even allows for removing of the outer plate for painting though replacements will have to be requested through Geeni directly.

Ok, this is really cool. Finally I get to control some lights in my house using Alexa! It is pretty easy to install...there are 4 wires (yes 4!) Ground, Neutral and two hots (one to power the switch, and one to feed the light) This means that you should first open up your box and make sure you have all the wires you need inside the box. I have an old house and in some of the boxes there are only two wires (to complete the leg of the light and make it turn on) The other thing to watch out for is this is a pretty big unit. Make sure there is plenty of room in the box. Once installed, it is super easy to connect to Alexa and get it working. I am delighted to have these! My next step will be to create a routine for when I am not home that will turn the lights on and off to make it look like someone is here/

The Geeni tap smart WiFi light switch in 4 pack gets you into controlling multiple lights in short order. These are single pole switches so be aware they will not work in a 3 way or 4 way setup. While they look like a traditional rocker switch, there is only a push button operation to turn the switch on or off, which is indicated in the Tap name. The app is straightforward and easy to connect to your WiFi. It also easily connects to Google Home for voice control in my experience. From a design standpoint of the physical switch, one thing I do not like is how the face plate connects. It has tiny plastic tabs that click into place on the switch face instead of using traditional screws. This seems like a way to reduce cost instead of an improvement in anyway. This might be problematic if your installation is in the least way irregular as there is no way to adjust the plate for coverage if the socket is not perfectly aligned, which is the reason for the 4 star rating.

The Geeni TAP is a good simple smart switch. Great for setting schedules for turning lights on and off when you aren't home or for exterior lights to come on at dusk and off at dawn. Relatively easy to install and set up, but no dimmer capability. Everything you need is included. Wire connectors, faceplate covers, and instructions that are quite basic. You need to install the Geeni app to set these up to your home network. Then you can connect to Alexa or Google Home, and these are voice activated for hands free turning on or off.

I have Geeni products throughout my whole house and they are exactly what you are looking for with wireless equipment. First of all, they are easy to install with the pigtails coming off the back of the unit, its super simple to connect to the wires coming out of the wall. Second, they are easy to connect to the interest. It rarely takes more than one try to run through the app set up process to get the switch connected to my wifi. Third, they look great and blend into the house. I also love the Alexa integration. I have it set up now where I ask Alexa to turn on my lights and the whole house lights up. Even better when heading to bed and with a simple command, all the lights turn off.

The Geeni TAP Smart Wi-Fi Light Switch - 4 Pack gives me the voice control I want on light fixtures without the expense and hassle of changing to smart bulbs and fixtures. Physical installation is no different than a standard light switch and should be easily within the ability of any competent person without the need to hire an electrician. The switch is bulky and it was a bit of a challenge to get the wires to not interfere with fully seating the switch in my house's 60 year old wall boxes. Old metal boxes are not as roomy as the current plastic boxes. After it's in place, TAP has a one time setup in the Geeni app and then, if you're using a voice controller such as Alexa, a one time setup in that app. Once that is done, the hardest part is over. The first switch I installed was in my kitchen. If desired, I could set a schedule for these light via the app. For my purpose, I am able to turn the lights on and off, or dim them, all with voice commands using Alexa. I've identified two issues with these light switches. First, it only works over 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. This is falling behind the competition as dual-band devices are preferable to people that have a lot of Wi-Fi connected devices. Second, these switches cannot replace a standard switch that is tied to a ceiling fan with a light. TAP will only allow you to have all on or all off; switching off the light while leaving the fan running is not an option unless you use the manual pull-chains on the fan which defeats most of the convenience of having TAP.

The Geeni Tap Smart Wi-Fi wall switch allows on/off control through the Geeni app, the Alexa app, or simply at the switch. The instructions were well documented and the 4-wire (line, load, common, and ground) installation was easy with parts included. The Geeni app made for a simple connection and connection to the Alexa skill was seamless. By adding it to a group, I can now remotely control the entire room at one time. The Geeni schedule function allows me to schedule on/off times automatically. The light switch is attractive and fits in with the decor.
