smart switch

App-controlled light controller

A smart switch is a light switch or electrical switch that connects to a home network, allowing remote control via smartphone app or voice assistant.

Unlike smart bulbs, smart switches control the fixture itself: I installed smart switches so the whole house responds to voice commands.

They typically require a neutral wire for power.
