GE C by GE On / Off / Dimmer Smart Switch, 4-Wire, 1-Pack (Packaging May Vary)

These work as they should. Initially, I had purchased gosund(g-home) dimmer switches and they would only dim about 10%. Also, I like the appearance of the circle ring light when it's dark.

Great product

I have recently been experimenting with various smart switches. I'm going with switches rather than bulbs because I have a LOT of bulbs and most are already LED. These GE switches caught my attention because they're one of the few solutions which also have on/off TOGGLE switches and are multi-way capable. I was hoping that these would work out great, however, due to the horrible C by GE app and their dependency on Bluetooth mesh, I decided that these are much worse than other switches that I have tried so far. Physical button issues: - Dimmer switch has a recessed on/off button. This is more difficult to press and requires more focus. Not that it is difficult, but you have to consciously think about it more. - Dimmer's dim/bright levels can't be adjusted. The minimum dim level was comparable to other switches 10-15% levels (my bulbs are GE bulbs too). - Toggle switches have no on/off status indicator (actually this seems to be the norm for smart switches). Usually its not a problem, but in my case I wanted to control some outdoor lighting which isn't visible without walking into a bedroom to look out a window. The toggles have a tiny LED light, but that is ONLY used to indicate an issue with wifi connectivity. There is no option to do anything else with it. Software issues - The switches and the app depend on bluetooth to be configured. Bluetooth has a fairly short range, but these seem to be able to relay off other bluetooth mesh capable devices similar to how z-wave/zigbee devices work. In theory, not bad, however these still have a much shorter range than some z-wave switches which I have tried. - Of all my smart devices, only the C by GE devices frequently loose connectivity. - C by GE app offers very sparse options. Next to no customizations. - C by GE app can't be used for scenes and schedules unless within close proximity to a C by GE device and bluetooth is enabled (at least it didn't work for me). The good: - Well, the buttons have a nice click to them and the switches are very easy to wire up. - They have wifi toggle switches which don't require me to swap out our decorator wall plates. - Dimming was smooth and flicker-free (with my GE LED bulbs...)

Don't be deceived by the description like I was. These switches require a neutral wire for installation, despite the fact that the description specifically states "no neutral wire required" (see photo). I opened the box to be met with instructions clearly stating "Neutral wire required for installation." Walmart needs to update the description of this product to accurately reflect what they are selling. Zero stars.
