Pros
- Weekly schedules can be set around routines, including off-peak tariff periods.
- App control and voice assistant support provide alternatives to operating the switch manually.
- Boost and countdown provide timed operation without relying only on recurring schedules.
Cons
- The listed 500W LED and 1kW halogen limits are lower than the stated 13A resistive limit, so load type matters when checking suitability.
