COOLTOUCH Z-Wave Plus Smart Wall Light Switch with Glass Touch Panel,Requires Neutral Wire and Hub,Works with SmartThings Wink and Alexa (3 Buttons, White)

(Note: I moved this review from a comment I added to another review to make it more visible for anyone who is interested).I have been unable to Z-Wave include the switch with a Fibaro Home Center Lite gateway 2 metres away in clear line of sight.I suspect the instructions in the installation leaflet that comes with the switch are wrong (or prehaps the Z-Wave radio in the switch is not a Euro frequency version?)(1) Switch light on - yep easily done(2) Long press light switch for 8 seconds until white light pulses fairly quickly - yep(3) Press the light switch 3 times in a second - I suspect you would have to be a robot to achieve 3 presses in 1 second ;-)I tried other permutations - 3 presses with 1 second gap but that just resulted in the light switching off.The switch itself does look pretty cool with the blue circular light around the switch when off but I bought it to integrate with other Fibaro scenes that I have written rather than just be a fancier looking switch.I have emailed the company but had no response.Update: I have decided to give up with this switch. As someone else has pointed out, the aesthetics of the switch are not as good as they could have been (the faceplate is not that slim and the bottom section with the Cooltouch logo could have been more subtle). However my main reason is an inability to use this with a Fibaro hub/gateway.Anyway I have ordered a Vitrum Wireless (Z-Wave) switch which is stupidly expensive in the UK (it costs 4 times what the Cooltouch single gang switch does) but the aesthetics and build quality are better (which you would expect for the price). Hopefully the Z-Wave inclusion functionality works with that switch.

The product itself is nice looking and easy to install. The only downside is that I can't get it to connect to my Z-Wave network. I've tried everything about 100 times but nothing. I've even gone and bought another Z-Wave usb dongle as I thought that might be the fault (even though my other Z-Wave devices work fine with it).The only video online showing how to put the switch into inclusion mode doesn't match the instructions supplied. I've tried to follow the instructions and follow the online video but neither work.At the moment it's a very expensive, albeit fancy looking, dumb switch.

For those who know and use Zwave. This device requires a neutral wire. Simple live/neutral/load wiring. To pair, set Zwave controller into include-node mode, hold button for 8 seconds until rapid white flash and then tap, rapidly, three times in succession. On/off functionality, but no dimming capability. Aesthetically pleasing, solid feel, loud click on action and rather bulky for when fitting within wall pattress box.

The light switch looks amazing and worked correctly as a simple light switch. However, as a home automation light switch it just didn’t work. Using the instructions provided and trying to connect it to a SmartThings hub via the Z-Wave protocol it just didn’t work. There is basically no documentation online so do not buy for home automation. If you want a laugh check out their YouTube product video!

Nice switch. Easy to wire but cannot get it to pair to smartthings or alexa even after extensive research and videos watched. Lack of pairing instructions are very frusteating
