Classified by control technology

        1.Wi-Fi Smart Switch: Connects smart devices like smartphones and tablets through home Wi-Fi networks, offering fast data transfer, widespread adoption, and convenient remote control. For example, if you realize a light is left on after leaving home, simply open the corresponding app to remotely turn it off. However, during unstable network conditions, there may be delays or failures in the control process.

        2.ZigBee Smart Switches: Utilizing the ZigBee wireless communication protocol, these devices feature low latency, low power consumption, and strong interference resistance. Multiple units can connect to form networks, enabling complex smart control scenarios. In smart home systems, multiple ZigBee switches can work with sensors and smart curtains to create integrated smart environments. However, ZigBee smart switches require an additional ZigBee gateway to connect to home networks.

        3. Bluetooth Smart Switches: These devices connect to smart home devices via Bluetooth technology, offering easy setup and pairing for short-range control scenarios like lighting control at your bedroom bedside. Some models support Bluetooth Mesh technology, enabling multi-device networking to expand control coverage and functionality. However, their limitations include a restricted control range of approximately 10 meters and require minimal physical space between the smartphone and switch.

        4. Power carrier intelligent switch: It transmits signals through power lines without additional wiring and is easy to install. However, it is prone to interference from power line noise, resulting in unstable operation and loss of control of the switch. Moreover, it is relatively expensive and often needs to be paired with addit

ional equipment such as wave blockers and filters.

        5. Intelligent Bus Switches: These devices transmit signals through dedicated wiring, offering exceptional stability and strong interference resistance. Unlike traditional systems that required centralized wiring with separate signal lines to each switch position, modern bus systems have simplified installation processes. This innovation has made them widely adopted in large-scale buildings and environments demanding high operational reliability.

        Classified by wiring mode

        1. Zero-wire version smart switch: Requires connection to live wire, neutral wire, and lighting control wires. Its complex internal circuit design ensures stable performance due to the neutral wire providing reliable power supply. The device operates reliably and is compatible with various lighting fixtures, including high-power smart devices. However, installation must ensure proper neutral wire routing. If the original switch position lacks reserved neutral wire space, rewiring becomes necessary, increasing both construction difficulty and costs.

        2. Single-pole smart switch: Requires only the live wire and lamp control cable, eliminating neutral line requirements. Ideal for traditional wiring setups without neutral wire provisions, this model offers easy installation. However, single-pole operation relies on partial current drawn from the lamp circuit during both off and on states, making it susceptible to flickering or failure to shut off properly depending on lamp power ratings and models. Additionally, it supports fewer lamp types compared to the neutral-pole version.

        3. Wireless Smart Switch: Powered by battery power and utilizing wireless communication technologies (e.g., Wi-Fi, ZigBee, Bluetooth), this device operates without wires. It can be easily attached to convenient locations like bedside tables or coffee tables for controlling lighting and appliances, while also enabling scene control through smart device integration. However, its limited battery capacity requires regular replacement or charging.

        By functional use

        1. Smart Lighting Switches: Primarily designed for lighting control, these devices go beyond basic on/off functionality to support mobile APP remote control, voice commands, timed operation, and integration with other smart devices. Some models feature dimming and color adjustment capabilities, allowing users to customize lighting brightness and color schemes according to different scenarios and needs.

        2. Smart electrical appliance switch: used to control all kinds of electrical equipment, such as TV, air conditioner, fan, water heater, etc. It can remotely control the switch of electrical appliances through mobile phone APP, and turn on or off electrical appliances in advance to realize intelligent scene linkage, such as turning on air conditioning for refrigeration or heating in advance when returning home.

        3. Scene Switching: Each button can be paired with a specific scene mode. For example, the movie-watching mode allows one-click operation to turn off main lights, activate ambient lighting, lower projection curtains, and switch on projectors. The "Away" mode enables instant shutdown of all lights and appliances while activating security systems. The "Homecoming" mode automatically activates lighting and adjusts indoor temperature, providing users with convenient and personalized smart living experiences.

        4. Smart Dimming Switch: Designed to meet varying lighting needs at different times, this device controls the on-off state of AC power by adjusting the phase angle of thyristor/MOSFETs and modifying the effective input voltage. It features two dimming modes: Front-edge phase-cut dimming (starting from phase 0, chopping the input voltage until a specific phase moment occurs) and Back-edge phase-cut dimming (starting from phase 0, cutting off input voltage only when reaching a specific phase moment). These solutions are commonly used in spaces requiring sophisticated lighting ambiance, such as bedrooms and living rooms.

        5. Smart Human Detection Switch: Utilizing thermal sensors to detect human presence, this device automatically activates lighting or appliances when someone enters its range, then automatically deactivates after a preset delay. Commonly installed in areas like doorways, corridors, bathrooms, and balconies, it ensures lights turn on when people arrive and off when they leave, providing both convenience and energy efficiency.

        6. Voice-Controlled Smart Switch: Featuring integrated voice recognition technology, users can control lighting and appliances with simple voice commands. Compatible with smart speakers and other voice-controlled devices, it eliminates manual operation – perfect for busy hands or those with mobility challenges – enhancing daily convenience and smart living experiences.

        7. Smart Touch Screen Switch: This innovative solution replaces traditional physical switches with a touchscreen interface, enabling users to control device functions like turning lights on/off, adjusting brightness levels, and switching between different scenes through touch interactions. Featuring intuitive design and user-friendly operation, the interface displays real-time device status and information while allowing customizable layout configurations and feature settings. Designed to enhance home decor with tech sophistication and premium quality, these switches are typically installed in prominent locations such as living rooms and bedrooms.
