Smart switches are advanced electrical switches that allow users to control their lighting and other devices remotely through a smartphone app or voice commands. They connect to a home’s Wi-Fi network, enabling automation and scheduling features. This means you can turn lights on or off, dim them, or set them to operate at specific times, enhancing convenience and energy efficiency. These devices often integrate with smart home ecosystems, such as Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple HomeKit. Many smart switches also support features like energy monitoring, allowing users to track their electricity usage and make informed decisions about their energy consumption.
