Evvr In-Wall Relay Switch, Product Review

Smart lighting is quickly becoming a standard feature in homes throughout the world in the twenty-first century. The Evvr In-Wall Relay Switch is described by its developer as "the most compatible no-neutral smart relay switch" on the market. It is also billed as the easiest device of its kind to install, as it lacks reliance on a neutral wire.

This innovative In-Wall Relay Switch, according to Evvr, "opens the door to intelligent smart lighting control for all sorts of houses, regardless of age or existing wiring layout." Importantly, this is one of the few devices of its sort that does not require a neutral wire to be pre-installed in the home.

But how well does the Evvr In-Wall Relay Switch work in practice, and is it truly the most user-friendly smart lighting controller available?

The Basics of the Evvr In-Wall Relay Switch

The Evvr In-Wall Relay Switch easily turns any single-bulb or multiple-bulb configuration into a fully functional smart lighting system, through a combination of a smart relay and a smart switch. The system can be used to control your existing lights using your existing switch panels, the Evvr App, Siri/Alexa voice commands,or the compatible third party Apps such as SmartThings, eWelink, Hubitat, once it's been installed.

With Apple HomeKit support, connecting Evvr's smart lighting system to your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple Watch, or Apple TV requires no extra bridge or hub. You can also use Amazon Alexa, SmartThings, or Google Assistant to control your lights, depending on your current configuration or preferred hubs.

Installation is a Breeze

The Evvr In-Wall Relay Switch is second to none in terms of ease of installation. It was designed to work without the use of a neutral wire, which is crucial because not every home has one. The Evvr In-Wall Relay Switch is as simple to install as any traditional light switch, and is compatible with almost all home wiring systems - irrespective of the age of the property.

The full installation process takes no more than a few minutes, with no need to lay new cables.

Perfectly Paired Simplicity and Sophistication

When put to the test, the Evvr In-Wall Relay Switch delivers on its promise of all-new simplicity in smart lighting. Remote access is possible using your HomePod, HomePod mini, or Apple TV as a home hub, and the switch may be connected directly with your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple Watch.

All lights linked to the system can be controlled collectively or individually, allowing for precise alterations to brightness and intensity. At the touch of a button, you can create your own custom themes, creating the ideal atmosphere for a family movie, a romantic meal, or a night in with friends.
