Pros and cons

โœ“ Pros

  • Sticks on any wall with no chasing, no conduit and no electrician
  • RF only, so it keeps working through an internet outage or a router reboot
  • Up to 3 gang from one glass panel
  • Uses the common ASK EV1257 encoding, so it pairs with widely sold RF receivers

โœ— Cons

  • Needs a matching RF receiver wired at the light, which is a separate part
  • No app, no schedules and no voice control, since there is no Wi-Fi or Zigbee radio
  • RF range drops through concrete walls, so placement needs testing before you stick it down
  • The listing does not state a warranty period

The SMATRUL EV1257 RF433 wireless touch switch is our Best Wireless Panel: a tempered glass panel in up to 3 gang that mounts anywhere with no wiring at the wall. Around โ‚ฑ339 as of August 12, 2026.

What problem does it solve?

The switch in the wrong place.

Older Philippine houses put switches where the wiring went, not where you walk. Adding a second switch position normally means chasing a channel through concrete, conduit, plaster and repainting. This sticks on the wall instead and talks to a receiver at the light.

For a hallway you walk down in the dark, or a bedroom where the switch is by the door and you are in bed, that is the whole answer.

What do you have to buy with it?

An RF receiver wired at the light. The panel is a transmitter only.

Read the variant list before ordering, because some sellers bundle a receiver and some do not. This is the single most common way people get caught out on this type of product.

It uses ASK EV1257 encoding, a common scheme, so replacement receivers are easy to find.

What are you giving up?

Everything smart. No app, no schedules, no voice control, no remote access. There is no Wi-Fi or Zigbee radio in it.

The flip side is that it keeps working when your internet is down, which not every switch here can say.

Is this smart switch sulit?

Around โ‚ฑ339 as of August 12, 2026, plus a receiver. Check the latest price on Shopee.

Judged as a smart switch it is poor value, because it is not one. Judged against an electrician chasing a new switch drop through a concrete wall, it is a fraction of the cost and takes ten minutes. That is the comparison that matters.

Who this smart switch suits

Buy this if you want a light switch somewhere there is no wiring and you do not care about apps. It is the right choice for a second switch position in a hallway, a bedside, or a rental where you cannot chase walls. If you want scheduling or voice, buy a Wi-Fi panel instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to buy anything else?

Yes, an RF receiver wired at the light. The panel is a transmitter only. Some sellers bundle a receiver and some do not, so read the variant list carefully before you order or you will end up with a very pretty piece of glass that does nothing.

Is there an app?

No. There is no Wi-Fi and no Zigbee radio in it, so there are no schedules, no voice control and no remote access from outside the house. It is a wireless light switch, not a smart-home device. That is a fair trade at this price if all you want is a switch in a new place.

What is ASK EV1257 encoding?

It is a common 433MHz encoding scheme, which in practice means the panel pairs with widely sold RF receivers rather than only one brand's. That makes replacements easy to find years from now.

Will the signal get through a concrete wall?

Sometimes, and this is worth testing before you commit. 433MHz travels reasonably well but Philippine concrete and steel mesh cut range hard. Pair it and walk the distance you actually need before you stick the panel down permanently.
