Easy Setup, Question Amp Rating
I use these in Home Assistant with the Zigbee2MQTT integration. Super simple, just turn it on. They say they are rated at 16A, as does the relay inside. It felt like the trace on the circuit board was too thin for that so I plugged in a 1500 watt heater and let it burn for several hours. The relay got hot at about 130deg, but the circuit board traces that I was concerned with did not (FLIR). I would not trust it at 16A unattended, but at 750W it has been running for weeks with no issues. I like that it is rated for 16A if you were switching a home circuit at a wall switch rather than having it be a weak link. I never loaded it further to see if there was a safety shutdown.

Switch inputs do not work, design is flawed
edit: I removed the board and took some measurements to try and see why the switch inputs do not work. The reason they don't work is because the circuit was poorly designed. When the switch contacts close, an optoisolator is powered from a half wave rectification of the 120V power input. This was presumably intended to pull an input on the controller to ground, but this doesn't happen because the optoisolator only pulls the input down to ~1.65V, which it would still see as a logic high. Either they miscalculated the current required for this opto, or they are using a substituted part with different operating parameters. Either way it just doesn't work and I am returning it. I verified this by manually pulling that input low and it triggered the relay.I want to say first and foremost that the switch inputs do not work. I bought this to put behind a wall switch so that I could control it either manually or remotely. The wiring diagrams shown indicate that the two switch inputs form a simple on-off type switch. I can short these contacts out with steel tweezers and it does absolutely nothing. Using a multimeter I see 120V on one contact and presumably neutral on the other. Obviously they are not directly connected to the live input power or it would have shot sparks in my face when I shorted them. The only way to know what is really going on is to take it apart and see how they designed it, but I don't buy things so that I have to diagnose why they don't work as intended. I buy them to make this task easy. Perhaps it's defective, I read a few other reviews who experienced this problem as well, so if it is a defect they have a pretty bad QA system. But this will bother me until I take it apart and inspect it so I will find out soon enough. Just want potential buyers to be aware that this may not work as a switch. I would have passed on it had I known. I will update once I figure this out.In every other respect, this worked just fine.

If you're comfortable doing the wiring, these work great with homeassistant
I installed these for some workbench lights in my garage.They instantly went into pairing mode and I picked them up, fully functional, with homeassistant in just a few seconds.Pros:* flex button on the side for manual control* (Compatibility) immediately picked up by homeassistantCons:* Wiring diagrams for the product are pretty confusing. They should look identical but they lead you to believe the wiring for L and N are different if you add a button.

Works great
I've been using this for a month and it's been flawless. Not sure how long it will last, but it was easy to install and use.

A little slow, can't use as doorbell.
I tried to use this as doorbell. The manual switch requires longer contact. It works just fine as a switch. Works in alexa and hubitat.

Simple little Zigbee smart switch
Basic switch, can handle up to 16A and was simple to wire up and use with an old lamp I have. I just cut up an old extension cord, wired the plug to the input and the outlet side to the output. I am not using the S1 and S2 connectors but those can be used to work with a 2 way switch.I am using this with my Echo Plus with Alexa and it works well. Easy to set a timer or just tell it to turn on and off. Had no issues connecting it and it seems reliable so far. Nice little switch that should work with any Zigbee hub, although I haven't tried it with Hue or a SmartThings Hub. Instructions are included but it's so simple to connect, I didn't need them. Since it works for devices up to 16A, it can be connected to kitchen appliances to program them to turn on or off at a certain time. Good product, no complaints.

Very cheaply made
I bought two of these zigbee switches. The first one paired up nicely but the wall switch could not turn it on or off. The second one was defective and would not tighten down on the electric wires.

Doesn't work with Hubitat
Tried everything, didn't work.
