Q. Do a Smart Light Switch saves money?
A. The answer is: YES
There are several brands in the market, but one feature of Kancy Smart light Switches is that it has the ability to read the power consumption of the devices connected to the switch, this way you can eaily know if a devices is On, Off, or broken.
You will be able to know what devices are the most used and at what hours. This inclusive serves as a tool to know is someone is using an appliance or a light where you are miles away.
Think about this: with a conventional light bulb, you only know that it has a power comsuption of X quantity of watts, but you will never know how many times that light was On, the same for a ceiling fan or whatever device you have connected to the switch. With a smart light switch you will have all that data right on your mobile phone or web app.
Q. Do all the Smart Light Switches need a neutral wire?
A. This in fact is a good question.
And the answer will depend of what country you plan to install the smart light switch on, let me explain.
According with the EU (European Union), electrical regulation, there is no need for a neutral wire, but the thing is a way different if the switch is going to be installed in the United States of America where a neutral wire is needed.
The good news is that th Kancy Smart light Switch comes prepared with a socket for a netral wire, so no worries, you can install this switch everywhere.
Q. Do Smart Light Switches Still Work With Smart Bulbs?
A. The answer is yes, but let me explain...
A smart light switch gives you smart control over "dumb" light bulbs already in your home; not only can you switch them On or Off from thousand of miles away or from just accross the room, you can also adjust the brightness and, in some cases, colour. If you have any lighting fixtures in your home that are incompatible with smart bulbs, a smart switch is your answer.
There is nothing that impides to connect a smart bulb with a smart switch but the thing it has not much sense to have them both on the same system. It is better to use smart bulbs where you cannot install a smart switches or you want to keep using your old standard bulbs.
