Awesome
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. Gotta love thess smart dimmabe wifi switch. It's touch sensitive control and also can be turn on/off and set dimming level by voice command with Alexa as well. My husband had a blast with these, no need to get up to control them anymore.

These WORK with LED lights
I had just finished installing two FEIT switch dimmers from Costco, only to discover elec leakage which causes LED lights to remain on 24/7. This is common with dimmers and lighted switches designed for incandescent bulbs which will not light with a little leakage, BUT with efficient LED lights, even a little voltage will light up LED lights. Replaced these and they worked PERFECTLY. They turned OFF completely and even appeared brighter at 100%. I wish the dimmer would go softer before turning off, but that may be function of LED light fixtures. Very easy to install and add to GOOGLE home.

Great dimmers for the price!
I have a few different smart switches and these work great for the price. They connected easily and work great with Alexa. There is a very slight delay when you push the bottom until the light turns on or off, but not a big deal. Other than reliability the main difference between smart dimmers is just how they look. You can see in the photo I attached what they look like. The one on the right is switched on to around 60%, the one on the left is also set at around 60% but currently switched off. They're pretty cool, you can either drag your finger up and down to adjust the dimness, or just touch it to set it wherever you want it.In the SmartLife app you can basically turn them on of off, add a schedule, and adjust the dimness. They do support scenes, which is nice because some smart devices I bought do not. Other than that, nothing fancy, to do anything beyond that you'll need a hub or a different app.

Mostly quick and easy installation!
Aside from an issue with existing wiring, this was a painless installation.I have reasonable residential wiring experience. The unit itself is well setup. Maybe it could use definitions regarding the wires or some more diagrams. But that was not the issue. Mainly, I ran into an illogically and unlabeled wire mass within the switch's "outlet"/switch box. Such that I had to figure out what was upstream, downstream and load wires. Note: They come with flags/labels for the wires. I suggest adding a label for something like "Next room/outlet".Once that was figured out, the dimmer went right in and I had it configured and working in about 15-30 minutes. Part of that was installing the Gosund app on my phone and computer and having Alexa fetch the Gosund skill. Ensuing switches will go considerably faster.After that "Alexa, office switch on." ... "OK". "Alexa, set light to 100%." "Alexa, set light to 10%." "Alexa, set light to 5%."Sweet. Now the rest...

Can work with tasmota, with a little work.
Great switches with a touch-bar center that allows you to dim (PWM) lights on the switch. Also has a hard-click button to allow a full-switch for a hard-off, not just PWM down to 0.With a bit of work, you can get these to work with tasmota. It's a bit of a pain, since you need the scripting plugin to get the touch-bar to work. If you don't care about that, you can still set the dimmer via online, just the touch portion only operates the on/off part. With scripting though, the touch-bar works fine, just like the original.Note that Gosund has started flashing all their products with a OTA update resistant firmware of late. These switches tend to turnover a little slower, but if the firmware is updated, it takes opening the case and soldering to get tasmota on it.

Great quality
The quality of this product is awesome. After 2 week of usage of would really recommend the switch of you are looking for a smart switch. The dimmer is changing by touch mode, basically, like you are changing the volume on your ipad. Very nice!

Good price, good looks, easy to use, and works with Alexa.
After buying a few Gosund plug-in smart switches for my Christmas lights, I decided to scrap my small fleet (six wall and plug-in switches) of problem-prone units from another vendor and replace them with Gosund switches. I'm glad I did.These Gosund smart dimmers are easier to configure and connect to Alexa, which acts as my home's smart hub, and they stay connected. The wall switches, like these dimmer switches and the non-dimmer Gosund wall switch I bought at the same time, are also slightly smaller. Their smaller size in the electrical box made a world of difference because I didn't have to install them with a clunky box extender to get them to fit. The physical controls are intuitive and easy to operate, and I like the touch-sensitive LED bar lights that tell me at a glance what the dimmer's current settings are.There's really only one thing I wish Gosund would do differently, and that's to add a 3-way dimmer unit to their lineup. I had to buy a 3-way dimmer unit from another vendor. I'll mention who in my "Installation notes," below.Last, these switches are less than half the cost of the switches they replaced.Pros:* If you have basic handyman skills, these are a snap to install* Configuration is easy once you download the app.* Alexa discovered and can now control all my Gosund devices.* Manual controls are intuitive to use.* The Decora-like design is sleek and attractive.* Fingerprints and dirt are easy to clean off with a slightly damp (NOT WET) sponge or cloth.Cons:* Gosund does not, at least as I write this review, offer a 3-way dimmer switch.* Not having a dimmer switch means I had to purchase my 3-way dimmer from another vendor, download and track another smartphone app, another user accounts, another password, and another account connection to Amazon Alexa to control my attic lights.Installation notes.1) If you've replaced a wall switch before, you'll probably find installation is a breeze. But do remember to turn the power off at your breaker panel and check you got the right breaker flipped by flipping whatever switch you are replacing on and off.2) I bought Decora wall switch cover plates that don't have clearly marked "Gosund" branding.3) To help keep my private home LAN private, I use my router's "Guest" network feature to isolate my home's smart devices from the computers I use for work, to log on to financial websites, and other activities my various smart home devices and their vendors and hackers don't need access to.4) After looking around, I found a "MOES 3 Way WiFi Smart Light Dimmer Switch" here on Amazon that does the job and has a very similar design ethic. The MOES 3-way design does not, however, allow users to manually dim or brighten the lights, just turn them on or off. I also don't like needing to have two smart home switch applications on my phone, two different vendor accounts & passwords, and so on. It's a hassle.
