Easy to install and pair to Google Home using the GHome app. *by B***E on May 18, 2026* Works well. Easy to install and pair to Google Home using the GHome app. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ UL Approved & Software Updates keep it working steadily *by K***K on May 5, 2025* They are UL approved or listed, I forget which one but I did look it up. They're relatively straightforward to install. YOU NEED A NEUTRAL WIRE. I've installed 3 of these in my home, and likely will look to get the 3 way switches at some point. We've had one issue where the physical button didn't work and I had to flip the breaker. When I went into the app to check on it afterwards, there was actually an update waiting for that EXACT problem. I had it on auto-update, but there are certain ones that do not auto-update. The quality feels a bit cheap, the look is nice, though I am not the biggest fan of their branding on the wall plate, those are cheap and easily replaceable. I wish the switch itself was a toggle up or down rather than a physical button push, but as I have not used any other smart switches, I don't know if this is a universal design or typical to GHome. I bought into this product when they were named Gosund and use a few of their smart receptacles for standing lamp lights. The LED light is app-controllable, you can set it to be on when the lights are off, on when the lights are on, or off entirely. ## Frequently Bought Together - GHome Smart Switch, 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi Switch Works with Alexa, Google Assistant Single-Pole,Neutral Wire Required,UL Certified,Remote/Voice Control and Schedule, No Hub Required, (2 Pack),White - GHome Smart Mini Plug Compatible with Alexa and Google Home, WiFi Smart Outlet Socket Remote Control with Timer Function, Only Supports 2.4GHz Network, No Hub Required, ETL FCC Listed (4 Pack), White --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/448282074-switches-for-lights-wifi-smart-light-switch-works-with-alexa](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/448282074-switches-for-lights-wifi-smart-light-switch-works-with-alexa) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-04*
