Pros and cons

βœ“ Pros

  • No wiring at all, so it sticks anywhere: beside a bed, on a headboard, at the top of the stairs
  • 12 touch actions from 4 gangs, so one panel can run scenes across several rooms
  • Rated 4.9 by 199 owners, a solid feedback pool for a niche product
  • Being a Zigbee remote rather than a mains switch, it is a safe first buy for a renter

βœ— Cons

  • Does not switch mains power itself, so it only controls devices you already made smart
  • Needs a Tuya Zigbee 3.0 gateway, an extra box to buy before it does anything
  • Battery powered, so it is one more cell to replace around the house
  • The listing does not state a warranty period

The SMATRUL Zigbee wireless scene switch is our Best Scene Controller: 12 touch actions, no wiring at all, and it sticks anywhere. Around β‚±636 as of August 12, 2026. It does not switch mains power itself.

What does it actually do?

It sends commands, not current.

This is the one thing to be clear about before buying. There is no relay inside and no mains wiring. It talks over Zigbee to devices that are already smart, and triggers scenes. Point it at ordinary lights on ordinary switches and nothing happens.

So it is the second thing you buy, not the first.

Why buy a switch that switches nothing?

Because houses are wired where the electrician felt like it, not where you live.

Nobody put a switch beside your bed, on the headboard, or next to the sofa. This sticks there in a minute with no chasing, no conduit and no electrician. Once your lights are smart, the missing piece is usually a control in the right place, and that is exactly what this is.

12 touch actions across 4 gangs is enough to run scenes in several rooms from one panel by the door.

Is it good for renters?

It is the safest thing in this ranking for one. No mains wiring, no plate swap, no hole, and it leaves with you. Nothing about it touches the landlord’s electrical work.

What are the downsides?

It needs a Tuya Zigbee 3.0 gateway like every Zigbee device here. And it is battery powered, so it is one more cell to remember around the house.

Is this smart switch sulit?

Around β‚±636 as of August 12, 2026, plus a gateway. Check the latest price on Shopee.

That is more than several switches that actually carry current, which looks wrong until you price the alternative: getting an electrician to run a new switch drop to your bedside costs far more than this. 199 owners rate it 4.9, a solid pool for a niche product.

Who this smart switch suits

Buy this if your lights are already smart and the control is in the wrong place. It is the right choice for bedsides, headboards, stair tops and renters. If your lights are still dumb, buy a wired switch first and come back to this.

Other smart switch options to compare

Need something that actually switches the light? The SMATRUL Tuya Zigbee no-neutral switch runs on the same gateway and does the wired half of the job. Want a wireless panel without buying a gateway? The SMATRUL EV1257 RF433 wireless touch switch is around β‚±339 and pairs with an RF receiver instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this switch the lights by itself?

No, and this is the thing to understand before buying. It has no mains wiring and no relay. It sends Zigbee commands to devices that are already smart. If your lights are still on ordinary switches, this will not turn them on. Buy a wired switch first, then this to control it.

Where would you actually put it?

Anywhere a switch should exist but does not. Beside a bed, on a headboard, at the top of stairs, next to a sofa. Because there is no wiring, you stick it where the room needs it rather than where the electrician left a box thirty years ago.

Is it safe for a rental?

It is the safest thing in this ranking for a renter. No mains wiring, no plate to swap, no hole to make, and it comes off the wall with you when you move. Nothing about it touches the landlord's electrical work.

What does 12 touch actions mean?

Four gangs, each responding to more than one gesture, giving twelve separate triggers on one panel. In practice that is enough to run scenes across several rooms from one spot by the door or the bed.
