So finally I decided to dive into the world of smart home automation with the ORVIBO Smart Touch Dimmer Switch, and it's safe to say that my expectations were surpassed. The quest for a truly functional and aesthetically pleasing smart dimmer led me to ORVIBO, a brand that's new to my radar yet already impressing me with its commitment to quality and user-friendly design. The product boasts a sleek interface with a small OLED screen, offering various faces that integrate seamlessly into a larger ecosystem of smart products. What stands out is the meticulous attention to customer service and detailed instructions provided, ensuring a smooth setup process even for those not particularly savvy with electrical installations. The inclusion of a fully enclosed backside with shielded electrical shock hazards is a game-changer, addressing safety concerns that are often overlooked in similar products. This feature alone elevates my confidence in using the dimmer throughout my home, offering peace of mind for the safety of my family and property. Pairing this smart dimmer with my Alexa and Google Home devices was a breeze, showcasing its compatibility and enhancing my home's smart infrastructure. The manufacturer's forward-thinking approach is evident, making this dimmer a commendable addition to any smart home setup. Installation was straightforward, thanks to the clear instructions and the thoughtful inclusion of a 1/2 link for precise wrist size adjustment. Operating the ORVIBO dimmer introduced me to a new level of convenience and control over my home's lighting. The dimming functionality is impressively smooth, avoiding the flickering often associated with cheaper alternatives. The setup process was hassle-free, quickly integrating into my Wi-Fi network and readily accepting commands from my voice assistants. The 1.9-inch touchscreen not only adds a modern touch to the dimmer but also simplifies adjusting light levels and setting schedules or timers, tailor-fitting my daily routines. The ORVIBO Smart Touch Dimmer Switch does have its limitations, particularly for those seeking a more open system that integrates with a wider variety of devices like Z-Wave or Zigbee. Its reliance on the ORVIBO app and ecosystem may deter users with existing setups from different brands, but for those willing to dive into ORVIBO's offerings, this dimmer presents a compelling choice. The thoughtful design, enhanced safety features, and seamless integration with major smart home platforms justify its place in modern homes looking to embrace smart lighting solutions.

Where were these guys when I first started getting into this kind of automation product? Unfortunately, that was some time ago. Moving forward today I found a new company I will be looking at. These are sweet little units that are in the normal consumer price range. And with modern system on chips (SOCs) getting better and better and more cost effective I'm glad to see something like this finally come into market in that market space that's this feature rich is this unit is in.The interface on the unit is basically a small OLED screen that has numerous different faces available for it and these tie into a bigger ecosystem of other products that they have I'm highly impressed with the quality behind these and the forward-thinking customer service of the manufacturer. They are literally giving you every single possible thing that you need to understand how it works whether it be set up the app, using the app, or even installing the unit is right there in the box.When it comes to electrical, they give you all the instructions for a person that's not the most comfortable with electricity. Everything you need to go do this install with labels for wire identification they put step by step the instructions that are spot on perfect.HUGE DETAIL TO POINT OUT / MAJOR FEATURE POINT TO ME:The backside of these devices of these switch boxes is completely enclosed in a plastic polymer. No exposed terminal points or lugs. Exiting in this case that Shields all electrical shock hazards is 4 THHN stranded wires that work for two purposes. First there your termination points with no exposed lugs and they are away from the box giving you room to work. Now here's the huge part that makes this perfect. When you go to put everything back into the wall into the junction box you don't have to worry about some silly ground sliding around and hitting a hot terminal and causing a surge spark fire even possibly and damaging your gear and your home. You also don't have to worry about that ground possibly energizing other grounds in your home because it hits neutral even when they're on the same bus at the other end. At the end of the day this was an enormously forward-thinking ideology that should be an electrical by code but it's not yet maybe someday. I absolutely thank this manufacturer for doing it this way. Worked around electrical for a long time I've worked on many circuits while they're still hot and have had to. I would have felt so much more comfortable with the device like this. It makes your life easier, better, and safer. It is a peace of mind for your family your home and your belongings.So that being said this product is awesome the interface is great it's snappy it's responsive it uplinks to Alexa beautifully the whole future of this infrastructure is awesome. The manufacturer is very customer oriented and why wouldn't they be it's for their benefit. Good customer service leads to repeat customers myself included. I will definitely be buying into this platform. And it also leads to a great reputation that generates other customers. This manufacturer 's mission on this product line is defiantly evident in the quality and the over-the-top documentation that so easy to work with and the clarity in the products they sell. therefor I highly agree I would recommend this to anyone, even someone already deep into another platform. This is a job well done and I will be purchasing more of them myself.

This dimmer was not quite what I expected. If you like the features and want to install all Orvibo devices, then this will work fine for you. It can be set up as a switch or a dimmer. You will need to install the Orvibo App on your phone to set this up so it has access to the Internet where it can get weather reports. You can set which screen is displayed by default, either the dimmer control or the weather. I was hoping you could customize the screen and display other information, but you cannot. You can display buttons for scenes that you can set up in the App. The issue I have is that this is a closed system where you have to install only Orvibo devices in order for them to control each other. I was hoping it was more open so I could control other devices like Z-Wave or Zigbee devices. The device uses WIFI for communication.

Installation was pretty straight forward, and the back of the dimmer clearly indicated which was the line and the load, the neutral and the ground. Important point here, though, you have to have a neutral wire to connect to. I have an older (early 70's) manufactured home and there is only one light switch which has access to a neutral wire and that's only because I remodeled that room this past summer. Needless to say, that's where I installed the switch. Also, please note that the control box for this unit is pretty deep and you'll need a deep outlet box to put it into.Once installed, setup was quite easy with the only point being that the Q-scan code used to download their software took me to an inaccessible web page. I just went to the Google app store and searched for the software by name and found it without any problem. The unit connected to my home network, also, without any issues.Very nice unit!
