Pros and cons

โœ“ Pros

  • A real button you press, so it feels like a normal switch to anyone who has never used the app
  • Runs off a single live wire, the simplest possible retrofit in an old box
  • No bypass capacitor needed, which is the part most no-neutral installs get stuck on
  • Built-in timing in the app, so porch lights can run themselves

โœ— Cons

  • EU style round body, which does not sit flush in every Philippine wall plate
  • Needs a Tuya Zigbee 3.0 gateway, an extra box to buy before the switch does anything
  • Needs bulbs of 5W or more without a neutral, so a tiny LED may flicker or glow when off
  • The listing does not state a warranty period

The SMATRUL Zigbee EU wall button switch is our Best Push-Button pick: a real button, a single live wire, and no bypass capacitor, rated 110-250V. Around โ‚ฑ799 as of August 12, 2026.

Why buy a button instead of touch glass?

Because a button works for everyone in the house.

Touch panels want a light, clean, deliberate press. That is fine for you. It is less fine for a guest, for your lola, or for anyone coming out of the kitchen with wet hands, and you end up watching people poke a wall.

A button clicks. Nobody needs teaching. On a switch in a hallway that the whole family uses, that is worth more than a glass finish.

How simple is the install?

About as simple as a smart switch gets.

It runs on a single live wire, so an old box needs nothing pulled through it. And SMATRUL states no bypass capacitor is needed, which removes the ladder-and-ceiling-rose step that catches people out on no-neutral installs.

The catch is shape. The EU body does not sit flush in every Philippine wall plate, so measure before ordering.

What can it drive?

Rated 110-250V, so both Philippine mains and older 110V circuits. The standard no-neutral rule applies: 5W minimum bulb load, so skip tiny decorative LEDs.

App timing is built in, which makes it a decent porch or gate light switch that runs itself.

Is this smart switch sulit?

Around โ‚ฑ799 as of August 12, 2026, plus a gateway. Check the latest price on Shopee.

Mid-priced for a Zigbee switch here, and you are paying for feel rather than features. If the switch is in a private room, the cheaper Wi-Fi panel does the same job. If it is on a shared hallway where six people use it daily, the button earns the difference.

Who this smart switch suits

Buy this if the switch is somewhere the whole household uses and you want it to stay obvious. It is the right choice for hallways, stairs and kitchen doorways, especially in a house with kids or older relatives. If you are the only one using it, buy on price instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose a button over a touch panel?

Because everyone already knows how to use it. Touch glass needs a light, clean, deliberate press, which confuses guests, older relatives and anyone with wet hands. A button clicks. If the switch is somewhere the whole family uses, that matters more than the look.

What does single live wire mean?

It means the switch runs off the one live wire an old switch box gives you, with no neutral needed. That is the simplest possible retrofit: you are swapping the plate, not pulling new cable through a concrete wall.

Will the EU body fit a Philippine wall box?

Sometimes. The EU pattern is round-fronted on a square plate, and it does not sit flush in every Philippine box. This is the main risk with this switch, so measure the plate you have before ordering.

Do I need a gateway?

Yes. It is Zigbee, so it needs a Tuya Zigbee 3.0 gateway before it will do anything smart. Factor that into your budget if this would be your first Zigbee device.
