General

What is a glowswitch?

A glowswitch is a small device that screws onto your existing light switch, seamlessly automating it without messy electrical work or expensive smart bulbs. It uses a motor to physically press your light switch, making it compatible with any type of light while still offering smart home integration.

How does glowswitch work?

Glowswitch devices use a servo motor to physically press your light switch. This approach means:

  • No rewiring or electrical work required
  • Works with many types of light switch
  • Automate many lights with just one device
  • No smart bulbs needed

The device screws onto your existing switch plate and connects to your Wi-Fi network for remote control.

Pairing

Is glowswitch compatible with my smart home system?

Glowswitch WiFi devices are compatible with Matter hubs, including Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit, Home Asisstant and more. We don't yet support Google Home.

Why does the device show as 'Uncertified'?

We don't yet have an official Matter certification from the CSA, so our WiFi devices may show as 'uncertified' in some apps. However, this does not impact functionality.
