Great!!
The Merkury Innovations Smart 3-Way Switch Kit is great! It makes it so easy to replace switches and make your life better in the process. The kit has helped me so much, especially since I can access it directly on my device! The design of the switches is very simple and fits perfectly in any room. Connecting these two switches to whichever light makes it easy to turn it on and off whenever you please. With the app, you can even get the light to turn on and off just depending on your location! The technology put into this product is impressive and it functions really well. I really like these switches and they're very useful in everyday life. I can set them up in my living room and easily turn the main light on and off whenever I please without even getting off the couch! All of the directions to use the switches are simple which I like as well. I highly recommend this product.

Waste of time and money
The instructions are confusing, the app doesn't communicate to the switch correctly, and I just wasted over an hour having a friend install it for it to turn out to be garbage. Only good thing about it is it is a nice finish and looks prettier than a standard light switch.

    Works but not quite
    I am in the Belkin Wemo camp with my WiFi smart home switches. But since Wemo is relatively expensive, I had to try Merkury 3-way Light Switch they have. I couldn't say that I dislike them because their app is better than I thought. The problem is the implementation of the 3-way switch. I got this very cheap when Walmart had a clearance (luckily). But for the price, I would say it's still not worth it. First of all, the two switches connected must be ON if you want the light switch to be ON, and if one is OFF, then the light will be in OFF state. This is fundamentally wrong because what's the point of the 3-way if you have to go to the other switch in order for the system to be in a correct state. Furthermore, your voice assistant will now be confused if switches are in a wrong state. So you end up saying TURN OFF the light to the voice assistant in order for you to TURN it ON. Beyond that, I refuse to make anymore testing as I have spend a lot of hours to make the system work. I am just waiting for me to find another Wemo switches to replace this. I also got this connected at first, both smart switch connected to each other as 3-way switches and then afterwards, when the app recognizes both switches as separate entry, I disconnected the other one and replace it with a standard 3-way switch, in order for me to name that light switch accordingly. Still the behavior was the same. But, you don't have to use both light switch to the same 3-way light. By the way, the quality isn't good. They are noticeably plastic looking and the click has a very unsatisfactory feel to it. That maybe a personal preference so this could be ok with you, since the design is not that bad. Eitherway, I cannot recommend this until they fix this fundamental problem.

    Easy App, but did not work the lights
    We tried this on two different light switches and couldn't get it to work. So, say, I can't recommend this product. However, the app is user friendly and easy to use. The light switch did not work on my plant room or in my bathroom. Hopefully, you will have better luck. I had my husband install it, and he couldn't get it to work. Then, I had a handyman come over to install it. He also could not get it to work. Great concept, but we just couldn't get it to do what the box said it could do.

    Really Useful Gadget
    Replacing a light switch is pretty easy if you understand what you're doing and how it works. Putting this light switch back into the gang box on the wall was a little tricky. It was large and trying to properly squeeze all of the wires back into the box was not easy! I image not everyone will have that issue but be warned that this switch is large Other than that this is a high quality product that works as described and looks nice once it is installed. I used it in our hallway upstairs and the foyer downstairs. My family and I travel a lot so being able to control the lights from anywhere on an app is a great home safety feature for us. Using your home Wi-Fi, use 'Schedules' to set your switch to automatically turn on and off or dim while you're home or away. It is so nice not have to come home to a dark house. I definitely plan on buying more for my home.

    Awesome!
    I am writing this review on the Merkury Innovations 3-Way Kit Wi-Fi Light Switch with Voice Control, Requires 2.4GHz WiFi. This is an amazing product! I love being able to control the lights for my bed and not having to get up to shut them off. I can either use voice control or an app on my phone. I highly recommend this for all homes. I will be replacing all of my switches with these.

    Nice 3 way switch!
    The Merkury Innovations 3-Way Kit Wi-Fi Light Switch is a convenient part of any home. It can be used like an ordinary traditional light switch by touch or it can be controlled by your voice. It works anywhere with the geeni app! You can even pre-set it on a schedule. It comes with two switches because the light can be controlled from two locations. This 3-way light switch is ideal for hallways and stairways. I would recommend this light switch.

    Great!
    Got it pretty fast with no damage to its packaging box. The product itself is durable and well made. The light switch came with wall plate and the switch itself is very nice and sensitive to touch. It didn't take long for my husband to install it. It comes with instruction manual too. It came with accessories as well so all you really need are tools to install in on your wall. Works well with our alexa/echo and with our phone. We love it. Helps so much when we want to go to the kitchen at night when its dark...dont hesitate to buy! Works well!!

    Absolute life Saver
    This device is easy to install and operate, simply download the app and control it from your phone. I actually use in my hall while on vacation to deter burglars. I will turn it on once it gets dark so it appears that someone is home. Wifi is required for the light switches to actually work.
