Sense+ Smart Wireless Switch with Built-in Motion & Daylight Sensors (1PK)

5/6/25:I ended up getting the Aqara Wireless Mini Switch and the Aqara Smart Hub M3. Together they work great! Easy setup in Aqara's app and in Apple's Home app; the switch is quality; button clicks control my Nanoleaf bulbs quickly and reliably.4/16/25:Promising, but fundamentally flawed. The switch pairs quickly with the Nanoleaf app, but it won't allow me to control any Nanoleaf bulb.To do that, in the app you have to create a group that includes the switch and your bulb. When I try to create that group, I keep getting an error message that the switch can't be found, even though it's right there in the app, paired nicely, and able to be configured through the Devices screen in the app. I have tried resetting and re-pairing the switch multiple times with the app, but it always gets stuck when creating a group. Something must be broken.A workaround was adding it to Apple Home and configuring the two side buttons to turn a Nanoleaf bulb on and off, but you can't use the on and off button on the switch to do that; you have to use the side buttons. So weird and complicated. And it only added itself to Apple Home once. Subsequent attempts only spun forever at "connecting".I think there's something wrong with the device's firmware or the app. It doesn't feel like a hardware problem because the switch works well when I managed to navigate the labyrinth to get two buttons working.Speaking of hardware, this remote feels cheap. The buttons float around in their place and the click feels unsatisfyingly cheap. If you remove the battery in the back (not obvious how to do that and no instructions) and replace it, it often pushes the buttons on the front side out of place until you position the battery just so. Lutron makes quality switches. This ain't that.Disclaimer: I've been in tech for many years and have a solid, reliable, fast thread network at home. I know what I'm doing with smart home gadgets.I'd steer clear of this remote for now. It feels like a rush job, despite being in the making for a few years. Such a shame. I expected quality from Nanoleaf.Seems any wireless thread/Matter switch as of April 2025 is flaky and doesn't perform reliably. The only reliable one I've found is Lutron's Pico remote. Rock solid. But it has zero Matter/Apple Home integration. Switchbot has a Matter one, but it's terribly slow to respond. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not a switch...just a remote control. Plus, why would you want a hand-held remote that contains a motion sensor *and* a light sensor? I didn't buy it, and THAT is why.
