Owner of this switch for a week, I have the following to say:

Visually, it is nice with a glass and illuminated connection indicator for WiFi and button (the button is not very prominent, but there is no chance you won't see it in the dark)

Installation:
Definitely requires a neutral wire to work. I was lucky because I had a socket below and I pulled a line. It also only has screws and not ears like traditional switches. This means that if you don't have the new boxes that have screw holes, you will have to find a workaround to secure it to the old box. Personally, I used two wood screws on the right/left and it worked fine.

Connection:
First of all, it only connects to the 2.4GHz band, so forget it if you only have a 5GHz router. My router works on both bands, so it connected. I connected it through the compatible device mode from the eWelink app, not quick pair, because I would have to change the name of the 2.4 network and I didn't want to. It guides you step by step for the connection.

I have it connected to Google Home and it added an on/off button. The response to pressing the button is immediate and systemically, and of course, without any disconnections so far. Time will tell how long it will last. For now, it is a good and useful purchase for me.

The product is very nice in appearance, as shown in the photos. However, its functionality is not the best. First of all, in terms of durability, I installed the switches throughout the house. After the initial installation, out of the approximately 20 switches, four of them did not work with the touch system and needed to be replaced. I bought new switches to replace them, but one of the new switches also stopped working. It is important to note that these specific switches may not work in all houses, as they require the installation of a neutral wire, which can be a problem if you do not already have it installed. Another major issue is the lack of switches for dimming. Unfortunately, there are no switches from the company that support dimming, so in the bedrooms and living room, where switches next to the bed or sofa are necessary, the lights cannot be controlled from just one point. The only solution is to use the company's RF remote control, as shown in the photo. Overall, I regret not installing simple switches, as I know how to use them and what needs to be done for them to work. However, most users in the house, as well as guests, struggle to use them because the touch function requires a specific touch at a specific point and with a specific pressure. I hope that in the future, switches will be developed that solve all these issues.

  Very good switches.
  The touch and WiFi connectivity (2.4GHz), as well as the eWeLink application response, work perfectly (those who want can flash them with custom firmware).
  The only negative for me is that they are intended for drywall, so they do not come with screws to be securely mounted in a cement wall, only with a patent (either with a quality hot glue gun, or with a plastic/wooden base, or with wedges, etc.)

  Very good. It solves your hands. Attention, it synchronizes at 2.4 frequency and not 5. That means you need to have 2.4 on your mobile to set it up. If you use 5g, it won't detect it.

  Attention: Neutral wire required!
  Otherwise, the connection both with the wiring and with the network and the application was easy and trouble-free. Its installation requires a plasterboard box (the ones with holes for screws on the left and right) or any other preferred method. Some suggest using silicone or hot glue, while others recommend screwing it onto the wall. Personally, since I wanted it for outdoor lights and for use with a timer or remote control, I used double-sided adhesive. I believe that for frequent manual use, it would require better anchoring.

  Excellent product and it has never lost connection. Trustworthy 100% (8 months of use). As you can see from the other comments, the neutral line installation is necessary, which should be pulled from a socket near the switch. It worked for me because I wanted the switches to be below the socket

  It doesn't work and it needed replacement. Generally, from what I saw in various forums, it is a common phenomenon. I will not buy this product again nor recommend it.

  I bought a total of 14 switches, replacing all the switches in my house, and both of them had problems. One did not light up the LED on the button, and the other would disconnect periodically and even get stuck as a switch. As the switch is divided into two parts, I found that one had a problem with the front and the other with the back. So I ended up with a broken switch, which was immediately replaced. The devices have been working flawlessly for a month now. I definitely recommend it.

  I have installed 9 of these single switches. 3 of them were not working and needed replacement. Generally, from what I have seen on various forums, it is a common occurrence. My advice, therefore, is if you buy it, try it as soon as possible by CONNECTING IT WITH THE eWeLink APP before the 14-day return period expires.
