AUKEY WiFi switch

With technology so prevalent in our lives today having the ability to turn on a lamp, Christmas Tree or even a fan remotely is finally here. Yes you buy some cheap remote but those are limited in range. The AUKEY WiFi switch is different, since it is connected by WiFi you can turn on your lights without even being in your home! It is really simple to set up and you use either your Android or IOS device to control the switch. The app is free and simple to use, pairing the switch to the app is just as simple, you can even add multiple switches to the app and give them their own name so you can tell what switches are being used for.
In the box you get the switch, warranty card and an instruction sheet. In the instructions there is a QR code for Android and one for IOS so make sure you have a QR scanner on your device, scanning the QR code will take you right to the app for you to download. Once downloaded open the app, type in your routers password, plug in the switch, rotate the cover plate right to left(as seen in my video) the app pairs to the switch and you are done. Just follow the instructions and you will be fine. Now the two USB ports on the switch have an output of 5 volts at 2 amps plenty of power to charge your devices, even with the switch off power runs though the USB ports so no worries there.
I played with the AUKEY WiFi switch so much I was a bit late posting this review. I tested the switch with a fan, lamp, nightlight, stereo(an older one with a push button power switch), while I was out turned on the switch came home and saw that the switch performed perfectly and I was miles away. Now if I have a touch lamp, for example, the switch will not turn the lamp on, so you may have one or two devices that might not work with the AUKEY WiFi switch, it is not the fault of the switch but just how those devices work. There are many uses for the AUKEY WiFi switch and I am betting that you will have fun finding them. This is a device that everyone should own, either one or multiple it will make things in your home interesting!
