Smart Switches and Dimmers: Check Wiring, Loads and Connections
By SmartHomeWorkflow Team · Last updated 2026-10-23
Before buying a smart switch, confirm the circuit, supported load and functions you need. Neutral wiring, multiple control locations, fixture access and platform equipment can all change the purchase.
The table compares dated research records, including wired controls and battery remotes. Support labels describe documented connections, limitations and gaps; they are not electrical approvals or quality ratings.

IKEA BILRESA Remote Control (Dual Button) — the catch, per ecosystem ~$6.99 at time of research — never treated as a live price
✓ Amazon Alexa: Works — Basis is IKEA's blanket statement of compatibility with Matter systems from Amazon, Apple, Google, Homey and Samsung; IKEA publishes no per-ecosystem listing of which button actions (single, double, long press) each platform exposes. IKEA's own manual confirms the variability rather than resolving it: 'functionality depends on the type of product and the system it is connected to', and 'if the product is connected to another smart system that uses the Matter standard, check with the manufacturer for available features.' An on-page customer Q&A reports Alexa surfaces only single-press per button; that report is unverified against any official document.
◐ Google Home: Works, except button pressed — IKEA names Google among the Matter systems this remote works with, and it can be added to Google Home over Matter, which needs a Thread border router. The button press is the part Google leaves out: Google's list of the Matter device types Google Home supports has no entry for this kind of button, and Google says a Matter switch added to Google Home cannot be set up to control anything there. Pairing it directly with IKEA lights still works without Google.
✓ Apple Home: Works — IKEA's blanket Matter-systems statement naming Apple; button-action depth per platform is not documented by IKEA, whose manual sends you to the other vendor for it ('check with the manufacturer for available features'). Thread border router on the Apple side required.
✓ SmartThings: Works — IKEA's blanket Matter-systems statement naming Samsung; button-action depth per platform is not documented by IKEA, whose manual sends you to the other vendor for it ('check with the manufacturer for available features'). Thread border router on the Samsung side required.
✓ Home Assistant: Works — IKEA does not name Home Assistant. The path is HA's official Matter integration (local push); the CSA cert types this device as a Matter Generic Switch (0x000F), and no IKEA-specific HA listing exists.
Connection: Thread · Matter · Hub for full use: No (No hub is needed to use it as a remote for other IKEA smart products. IKEA's manual says: 'Pair it directly with a smart product from IKEA to use it without a smart system', and 'a maximum of 10 smart products from IKEA can be controlled with one remote by pairing directly.' A hub adds phone and app control, voice assistants and automations. For those, IKEA's page says 'you need a Thread Border Router to control it through your phone, for example our DIRIGERA hub', and IKEA names Matter systems from Amazon, Apple, Google, Homey and Samsung, each through that platform's own Thread border router.) · Works offline: Yes — the core function runs on the device or your home network

Aqara Wireless Mini Switch — the catch, per ecosystem ~$17.99 Price at the time of research, 2026-08-30, read from Aqara's own storefront as typed product data: $17.99, no crossed-out original price, in stock. Established rather than re-confirmed — this page carried no price at all before, because aqara.com/us is a marketing site that routes buyers to retailers and publishes no figure. No sale is running, so $17.99 is the regular price and not a discount that will lapse.
? Amazon Alexa: Inconclusive — Not established, and the reason is Aqara's own two-step. Aqara's compatible-platforms page does list Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings, IFTTT, Matter and Home Assistant — under a blanket footnote, 'Hub may be required for certain ecosystems or functionalities' — but it then explicitly refuses to be read as a per-device answer: 'Note: Not all Aqara child devices are compatible with all platforms. Please see details for each device.' The details for THIS device turn out to be no list at all: its own product page carries no compatibility section, and the single platform it names anywhere is Apple, in a feature panel about the Apple Home app. So Aqara routes the question to a page that never answers it — which is different from a page that answers 'no'. Recording 'full' would use a catalogue-wide list Aqara says not to; recording 'none' would read a denial into a page that lists nothing. Unknown is the honest value, and this becomes answerable the moment Aqara publishes per-device platform detail.
? Google Home: Inconclusive — Not established, on identical grounds to Alexa. Google Home appears on Aqara's catalogue-wide platforms page, which then says 'Please see details for each device' — and this device's own page publishes no compatibility list whatsoever, naming only Apple and only in a feature panel. There is no enumeration here to read Google's absence against. A Matter-bridging Aqara hub is the plausible route, but plausible is not documented, and a stateless button's individual press actions are exactly the kind of feature that survives bridging poorly.
✓ Apple Home: Works — The only ecosystem Aqara claims for this switch, and it claims it clearly: the product page carries a single 'Works with Apple HomeKit' badge and states 'Aqara Hub is required to enable this product to work with HomeKit technology.' The Aqara hub bridges the Zigbee button into HomeKit; iOS 10.3 or later. Note the basis — this rests on Aqara's word alone, with no Apple document confirming what a Home app automation can do with the button's individual press actions.
? SmartThings: Inconclusive — Not established, on identical grounds. SmartThings appears on the catalogue-wide platforms page and on no Aqara page specific to this switch. For sibling Aqara sensors the route is a Matter-bridging hub (M2 on current firmware, M3, M100 or G5 Pro) republishing the Zigbee device — but no first-party page applies that to this model, and a stateless button is not the same bridging case as a sensor.
✓ Home Assistant: Works — Home Assistant's own Xiaomi Gateway (Aqara) integration names this switch, model WXKG11LM, and turns its single, double, long and hold presses into events an automation can start from, over your home network. It reads the switch through a Xiaomi Mijia gateway (lumi.gateway.v2 or v3), not through an Aqara hub: Home Assistant lists the Aqara-branded gateway as unsupported, and says switching on the v2 gateway's local access can be hard, even needing the gateway opened up. A community route also exists: Zigbee2MQTT supports this switch on a generic Zigbee radio with no Xiaomi or Aqara hub, where single and double press are the dependable actions.
Connection: Zigbee · Hub for full use: Yes (Yes, and Aqara says it twice on the product page and again in the HomeKit line: 'An Aqara hub is required.' and 'Aqara Hub is required to enable this product to work with HomeKit technology.' This is a Zigbee device with no Matter or Thread radio of its own, so it never joins an ecosystem directly — the hub does that on its behalf, and which hub you buy is what decides how far the button reaches. Home Assistant users running their own Zigbee coordinator can skip Aqara hardware entirely, but that is a community route Aqara does not endorse.) · Works offline: Yes — the core function runs on the device or your home network

SONOFF iFan04-L Wi-Fi Ceiling Fan and Light Controller — the catch, per ecosystem ~$19.9 SONOFF's own US store listed the iFan04-L at $19.90 on 1 October 2026, the same figure as in August. The page labels it a 'Sale price', but the store shows no higher original price beside it, so we treat $19.90 as the ordinary price rather than a promotion. The 220 to 240 volt version, the iFan04-H, is listed at the same price and was out of stock that day. Price at the time of research, never a live price.
✓ Amazon Alexa: Works — SONOFF states it plainly on the product page — 'Works natively with Amazon Alexa and Google Home for hands-free voice control' — and repeats it in the product summary. Read the word 'natively' as SONOFF's marketing rather than as an architecture claim: the route is eWeLink account linking through SONOFF's cloud, so it depends on your internet and on eWeLink's service being up. SONOFF publishes no list of what Alexa can actually address, so whether fan speed steps and the light are separately controllable by voice is undocumented.
✓ Google Home: Works — Named in the same sentence as Alexa and carrying the same qualification: cloud-routed through eWeLink, with no published command list. Google Home is also named a second time in SONOFF's Matter-bridge blurb, but that is the eWeLink CUBE route described in the Apple cell, not a separate integration.
? Apple Home: Inconclusive — SONOFF advertises a route on this product's own page — 'Works With Apple Home Via Matter Bridge ... Seamlessly connect SONOFF WiFi devices to Matter via CUBE OS built-in Matter Bridge -- free, local, and ready for Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings, and Home Assistant' — and we leave this open because of what that sentence is actually about. Its subject is 'SONOFF WiFi devices' as a class, and neither SONOFF nor eWeLink publishes a list of which models the bridge really carries; eWeLink's own wording is 'many eWeLink-supported Wi-Fi devices', with 'many' doing real work. Two further things to know before treating this as an Apple Home product: eWeLink CUBE OS is separate software you have to run somewhere on your own network, not a feature of the controller, and what Apple Home connects to is a Matter BRIDGE rather than a Matter device — so what shows up in the Home app depends on what the bridge chooses to pass along. We leave it open rather than call it supported, because a statement about a whole product range is not evidence about this model.
? SmartThings: Inconclusive — Same situation and same sentence as the Apple cell: SmartThings is named in SONOFF's eWeLink CUBE Matter-bridge blurb about 'SONOFF WiFi devices' generally, with no per-model support list on either side, and reaching it means running eWeLink's self-hosted CUBE OS. SONOFF publishes no SmartThings setup article for this controller and Samsung's own materials do not name it.
? Home Assistant: Inconclusive — Not established, and the reason is worth reading before you buy. Home Assistant publishes no SONOFF or eWeLink integration of its own — the two pages such an integration would live at still do not exist, checked again on 19 September 2026 — so there is no official route from that side. The route the maker does advertise is its free eWeLink CUBE bridge, whose own page, re-read the same day, says it brings "many eWeLink-supported Wi-Fi devices, such as SONOFF products" into Matter for Apple Home, SmartThings, Google Home, Alexa and Home Assistant. That sentence is about a class of products with an open edge — many, such as — rather than about this fan and light controller, so it neither promises Home Assistant control nor rules it out. Community projects for SONOFF hardware exist outside Home Assistant's own documentation; we did not check their model lists ourselves, so we do not lean on them. We leave this open rather than call it a no, because a route is claimed and merely unconfirmed for this model, which is the opposite of a maker that names no route at all.

TP-Link Tapo S505 Smart Wi-Fi Light Switch — the catch, per ecosystem ~$44.99 for 2 The price is for a pack of 2, as the maker's store listed it on 2026-10-06. On that day the store's selling price was $23.99, marked down from the $44.99 shown here. Price at time of research, never a live price.
✓ Amazon Alexa: Works — Named in TP-Link's compatibility list as 'Alexa' and as a commissioning route - the Alexa app is one of the Matter-compatible apps TP-Link names for setup. Same Matter mechanism as the other three cells.
✓ Google Home: Works — TP-Link writes 'Google Assistant' in its compatibility list, which is the voice service, while naming the 'Google Home app' as the commissioning route - the app rather than the assistant. Both belong to the same Matter path; the wording is TP-Link's own inconsistency and does not change the mechanism.
✓ Apple Home: Works — 'Apple Home' is named in TP-Link's compatibility list, and the mechanism is stated rather than implied: the switch is Matter-certified and TP-Link tells buyers to commission it 'by scanning the included code with any Matter-compatible app, such as the Alexa app, Google Home app, and Apple Home app'. Transport is recorded local because a Matter-over-Wi-Fi device is controlled on the local network by the ecosystem's own controller, not through a TP-Link cloud. TP-Link separately names 'Apple Siri' among the voice assistants.
✓ SmartThings: Works — TP-Link says this switch is Matter-certified and lists Samsung SmartThings among its platforms. SmartThings supports on/off control for Matter devices, so turning the light on and off works in SmartThings over Matter.
? Home Assistant: Inconclusive — TP-Link does not name Home Assistant for this product. Its compatibility list reads 'Matter-Certified, Apple Home, Alexa, Google Assistant, Samsung SmartThings' and stops there, and the setup copy names three Matter-compatible apps without including one for Home Assistant. That list does not rule Home Assistant out, and the reason is the first thing on it: 'Matter-Certified' is not a platform but a certification, which is TP-Link saying the switch answers to Matter controllers as a class rather than only to the four it goes on to name. A list that opens with an open class has not told you what is missing from it. Stated so a reader is not misled by our own caution: Home Assistant operates its own Matter integration and does not need a vendor's blessing, so the practical answer may well be yes - but that would be this catalogue reasoning from the protocol rather than reporting a claim either party has made about this switch, and the two are not the same thing.
Connection: Matter · Wi-Fi · Hub for full use: No (No, and that is the practical difference between this switch and the Lutron alternative in the same subcategory. The S505 joins the house Wi-Fi directly and commissions into an ecosystem over Matter: TP-Link's own instruction is that 'Users can also set up Tapo S505 by scanning the included code with any Matter-compatible app, such as the Alexa app, Google Home app, and Apple Home app', with Bluetooth used for onboarding through TP-Link's own app instead. A Tapo Hub exists and is optional, needed only to bring other Tapo hardware into the picture: TP-Link states 'When working with smart sensors, the Tapo Hub is required' and 'When working with a Tapo Smart Button, the Tapo Hub is required'. Neither is needed to switch a light.) · Works offline: Yes — the core function runs on the device or your home network
GE Cync Paddle Dimmer Smart Switch (Matter) — the catch, per ecosystem ~$25.99 at time of research — never treated as a live price. Corrected 2026-08-08 from a rounded 26 to the published 25.99.
✓ Amazon Alexa: Works — Two real paths: Matter (local, no account — but on/off/dim only) or the cloud-linked Cync Alexa skill; the WiFi path is not 'direct', it requires the Cync app and account linking. Schedules, scenes, and advanced dimming config stay in the Cync app either way; legacy non-Matter Cync switches have only the cloud-skill path.
✓ Google Home: Works — Two real paths: Matter (local, on/off/dim only) or Cync-account cloud linking in Google Home — GE's guide requires signing into the Cync account, so the WiFi path is cloud-linked, not direct. No deeper Google-specific integration exists for the switches; app features stay in the Cync app.
✓ Apple Home: Works — Matter only, and only on the 2025+ SKUs — legacy Cync switches have no Apple Home path
✓ SmartThings: Works — Via Matter on the 2025+ Matter-generation SKUs only — GE's SmartThings support is Matter-only, so legacy WiFi/Bluetooth Cync switches have no SmartThings path at all.
✓ Home Assistant: Works — Works with Home Assistant over Matter, which handles turning the light on and off and dimming it, on your own network. Home Assistant also has a Cync integration that goes through your Cync account in the cloud and handles on/off and brightness too, but opening the Cync app briefly disconnects it.

Philips Hue Dimmer Switch (latest model) — the catch, per ecosystem ~$30.99 $30.99 on Signify's US Philips Hue store page, read 2026-10-23, where it was shown in stock. Never treated as a live price.
◐ Amazon Alexa: Works per the maker; details unconfirmed — Signify lists Alexa among the third-party systems on this product page, but does not say what this product does there or which route it takes. The same list appears across Hue product pages, so treat it as a statement about the Hue system.

Philips Hue Smart Button — the catch, per ecosystem ~$32.99 at time of research (philips-hue.com US product page) — never treated as a live price
◐ Amazon Alexa: Works; button pressed unconfirmed — This button reaches Alexa through a Philips Hue bridge: Hue connects the bridge to Alexa through the Hue skill in the Alexa app, and the button comes along with it. Hue doesn't say whether Alexa can use a button press to start a routine, so that is unconfirmed there.
◐ Google Home: Works; button pressed unconfirmed — This button reaches Google Home through a Philips Hue bridge, which you link to Google Home with your Hue account through Works with Google. Hue doesn't say whether Google Home can use a button press, so that is unconfirmed there.
◐ Apple Home: Works per the maker; details unconfirmed — Signify lists Apple Home among the systems this button works with, but does not say what the button can do there. The same list appears on every Hue product page, so treat it as a statement about the Hue system.
◐ SmartThings: Works per the maker; details unconfirmed — Signify lists Samsung SmartThings among the systems this button works with, but does not say what the button can do there. The same list appears on every Hue product page, so treat it as a statement about the Hue system.
✓ Home Assistant: Works — The one platform that documents what the button actually does is Home Assistant, not Hue. A Hue Bridge is required. Home Assistant's official Hue integration treats the button as a device with no on/off state of its own: each press sends an event you can use to trigger an automation, and the battery level shows up as a sensor. Presses reach Home Assistant locally, as they happen, on a V2 Bridge. One documented limit worth knowing before you build a double-press automation: Home Assistant's documentation says Hue limits each device to one event per second.
Connection: Zigbee · Bluetooth · Hub for full use: No (No for the basic job, yes for anything interesting. Without a Hue Bridge the button pairs directly to bulbs — Signify's setup guide is specific about the ritual: 'Hold the smart button up to the light you want to control. Stay within six inches of the light. Press and hold the smart button for three seconds until the green light starts to blink', repeated for 'up to 10 bulbs'. ⚠ Signify does not say which radio carries that pairing, and we do not guess: its Bluetooth explainer describes Bluetooth as the phone-to-bulb path and lists accessory-to-bulb pairing as a separate method that works 'without using the Bridge or app'. With a Bridge the button reaches up to 50 lights and, critically, becomes configurable: 'A Hue bridge is required to be able to change the way a Hue dimmer switch, smart button, or tap dial switch controls your lights.' So the Bridge is what turns a fixed on-off button into a scene cycler, dimmer or automation trigger.) · Works offline: Yes — the core function runs on the device or your home network

Zooz 800 Series Z-Wave Long Range Double Switch ZEN30 800LR (Light & Fan Combo) — the catch, per ecosystem ~$34.95 $34.95 for new stock, read 2026-09-21, against a $44.95 regular price the seller still shows. This figure has moved twice in a month: $34.95 in August, then the previous $24.95 read on 2026-09-20 when the seller had cut it, and $34.95 again a day later. Price at time of research, never a live price — on this listing more than most, check it before you plan around it. ⚠ The source is an authorised Zooz retailer rather than Zooz itself — Zooz's own product page publishes no price at all — so this is a seller's figure rather than the manufacturer's, and it is marked as such on the page. ⚠ Availability has moved too, and in the buyer's favour. In August every purchase condition on that listing — new, open box, refurbished and used — was sold out. On 2026-09-21 new is in stock and the other three are not, and two of those three are priced above new anyway: open box $30.95, refurbished $26.95, used $20.95.
? Amazon Alexa: Inconclusive — Not established, and deliberately not converted into a 'no'. Zooz's model page and its own manual never mention Alexa, and neither does the seller's listing. The manual gives pairing instructions for four hubs and names no voice assistant at all. But the architecture still forbids reading it as absence: Alexa reaches a Z-Wave device through the hub, and several controllers on Zooz's own compatible list carry Alexa bridges. Whether it works is therefore a question about your controller that Zooz has not answered and cannot. Unknown on both sides.
? Google Home: Inconclusive — Not established, for exactly the same reason as Alexa and stated rather than cross-referenced: Google is named nowhere on Zooz's model page, in its manual or on the seller's listing, Zooz's hub list covers hubs rather than voice assistants, and a Z-Wave switch's Google support is supplied by the controller. Several hubs Zooz names do offer Google integrations. The honest state is unknown on both sides, and a buyer who needs Google specifically should check their intended hub's device support rather than this product's page.
? Apple Home: Inconclusive — Not established. Apple, HomeKit and Siri appear nowhere on Zooz's model page, in its manual or on the seller's listing. As with the two voice assistants, that silence is weak evidence for a Z-Wave device whose platform reach is inherited from its controller — and Zooz's compatible list includes controllers that expose devices to Apple Home. What it does NOT include is any Apple-native route: there is no Matter here, no Thread, and no direct pairing, so any Apple answer would arrive through a hub doing translation. Unknown rather than none, but a buyer wanting Apple Home should treat this as a hub-shopping question and verify before buying.
◐ SmartThings: Works; on/off and brightness unconfirmed — Zooz's own manual names SmartThings among the hubs it gives pairing instructions for, so the maker says the switch joins a SmartThings hub. Neither Zooz nor SmartThings says what SmartThings can do with it, so on/off and brightness are unconfirmed there; on a two-load switch that also leaves open whether SmartThings shows the fan and the light as two separate controls. SmartThings' own partner list names a Zooz Double Switch ZEN30 without saying which version, so it is not counted for this 800LR model. How the connection runs depends on your SmartThings hub, not on this switch. The seller's listing adds that SmartThings needs a custom driver from Zooz.
✓ Home Assistant: Works — Works with Home Assistant's own Z-Wave support, and Zooz names Home Assistant (Z-Wave JS) in its own list of compatible controllers. It runs on your own hardware with nothing in anyone's cloud. Home Assistant's Z-Wave support lists light and switch entities, so the relay's on/off and the dimmer's brightness both come across, and the Z-Wave device list it points to names the ZEN30. You need a Z-Wave adapter plugged into the machine that runs Home Assistant.
Connection: Z-Wave · Hub for full use: Yes (Yes, and Zooz's channel states it without hedging: 'Z-Wave gateway controller required - sold separately.' This is a Z-Wave device — it does not join your Wi-Fi and it does not talk to your router. Without a controller it is a wall switch with no smart behaviour whatsoever, and the controller usually costs more than the switch. ⚠ The other requirement is wiring, and the warning published alongside it is the most useful sentence on the whole listing because it names the specific way people get this wrong: 'Check for neutral connections BEFORE you buy. A white wire from a 14-3 romex is usually NOT a neutral.' A white wire is the thing a non-electrician assumes is a neutral, and in a switch loop it frequently is not. Open the box and identify the conductors before ordering. One functional constraint that shapes what the device can do: 'You'll always need a separate wire to control another load from this device' — this is a double switch driving two loads, so both loads have to be wired to it. Physically it is accommodating: 'With a very slim profile of just over 1 inch and pigtail connections, the device is a breeze to install in almost any switch box.') · Works offline: Not checked — we have not established whether this keeps working without the internet

Leviton Decora Smart Wi-Fi Fan Speed Controller, 2nd Gen (D24SF-1BW) — the catch, per ecosystem ~$42.99 at time of research (Leviton's own store) — never treated as a live price
◐ Amazon Alexa: Works; on/off unconfirmed — Leviton's spec sheet for the D24SF says you can use your voice to set the fan to low, medium, high or max from Alexa devices and the Alexa app, so setting the fan speed works on Alexa. Leviton doesn't say whether Alexa can turn the fan on and off, and Amazon publishes nothing for this model, so on/off is unconfirmed there.
◐ Google Home: Works; on/off unconfirmed — Leviton connects this controller to Google Home when you link your My Leviton account in the Google Home app, and its product sheet says you can control connected fans with Hey Google or from the Google Home app, so setting the fan speed works there. Leviton doesn't say whether Google Home can turn the fan on and off, so on/off is unconfirmed there. For Alexa, the same sheet names the four fan speeds.
◐ Apple Home: Works; on/off unconfirmed — Leviton's instruction sheet says you can control the fan speed from the Apple Home app, so setting the speed works in Apple Home. Neither Leviton nor Apple says whether Apple Home can turn the fan on and off, so on/off is unconfirmed there. HomeKit is listed on the spec sheet, but taking Leviton's Matter firmware update REMOVES the existing HomeKit connection and forces re-pairing via a Matter code. Choosing Matter and keeping HomeKit are not both available.
✓ SmartThings: Works — Samsung's Works with SmartThings directory lists this fan speed controller (model D24SF) as a fan, so turning the fan on and off and setting its speed work in SmartThings. Neither Leviton nor Samsung says how it connects to SmartThings.
✗ Home Assistant: Doesn't work — Home Assistant's Leviton integration page documents Z-Wave models only (DZ6HD, DZ15S, ZW4SF, DZPD3, DZPA1, ZW15R). No official core integration covers the Decora Smart Wi-Fi line, and Leviton does not list Home Assistant.
Connection: Wi-Fi · Bluetooth · Hub for full use: No (No hub or bridge. The spec sheet states it connects directly to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. Schedules and settings are stored on the device and continue to run during an internet outage; app and voice control go through the My Leviton cloud.) · Works offline: Partly — some of it keeps working without the internet and some of it does not

Philips Hue Tap Switch Mini — the catch, per ecosystem ~$54.99 $54.99 for the Black listing on Signify's US Philips Hue store page, read 2026-11-06, where it was shown in stock. Never treated as a live price.
◐ Amazon Alexa: Works per the maker; details unconfirmed — Signify lists Alexa among the third-party systems on this product page, but does not say what this product does there or which route it takes. The same list appears across Hue product pages, so treat it as a statement about the Hue system.

Inovelli Blue Series Smart Fan/Light Canopy Module (VZM36) — the catch, per ecosystem ~$55 at time of research (Inovelli's own store) — never treated as a live price
◐ Amazon Alexa: Partial — Only via an Amazon Echo model containing a built-in Zigbee radio, which acts as the hub. Inovelli lists 'Amazon Echo (requires compatible version)' but publishes no dedicated Alexa setup article, so feature depth is undocumented.
✗ Google Home: Doesn't work — Absent from Inovelli's published platform compatibility list and from its help centre, and the module carries no radio Google Home can reach. Recorded as none on the basis of a curated manufacturer list that omits it, not an affirmative 'not supported' statement.
✗ Apple Home: Doesn't work — Absent from Inovelli's published platform list, no setup documentation exists, and the device carries no Matter or HomeKit radio. Recorded as none on the basis of a curated manufacturer list that omits it, not an affirmative statement.
✓ SmartThings: Works — Requires a SmartThings hub with a Zigbee radio; Inovelli publishes a dedicated setup article.
✓ Home Assistant: Works — Inovelli publishes setup articles for both ZHA and Zigbee2MQTT; requires a Zigbee coordinator.
Connection: Zigbee · Hub for full use: Yes (Yes, a Zigbee hub is required for smart control. One nuance: Inovelli documents direct Zigbee binding between a Blue Series wall switch (VZM31-SN or VZM35-SN) and this module, which it describes as near-instantaneous and able to operate without the hub once configured — but a Zigbee coordinator is still needed to perform the initial pairing and binding. Hub-free operation is a post-setup state, not a hub-free product.) · Works offline: Yes — the core function runs on the device or your home network

Inovelli Blue Series 2-1 Smart Switch (VZM31-SN) — the catch, per ecosystem ~$60 at time of research — never treated as a live price
◐ Amazon Alexa: Partial — Only via Amazon Echo models that contain a built-in Zigbee radio; Inovelli's chart says 'yes, but only certain hubs.' Feature depth on Echo is not documented.
✗ Google Home: Doesn't work — Google is listed as not compatible on Inovelli's Hub Platform Compatibility Chart; Google Home hardware has no supported path to this Zigbee switch.
✗ Apple Home: Doesn't work — Apple is listed as not compatible on Inovelli's Hub Platform Compatibility Chart; there is no documented Apple Home path, native or bridged.
✓ SmartThings: Works — Requires a SmartThings hub with a Zigbee radio ('only certain hubs' per Inovelli's chart); Inovelli publishes official SmartThings setup instructions.
✓ Home Assistant: Works — Officially supported via ZHA and Zigbee2MQTT with a Zigbee coordinator; Inovelli's chart notes 'we only support certain installations.'
Connection: Zigbee · Hub for full use: Yes (A Zigbee hub is mandatory for all smart features; the switch ships with no hub and has no WiFi radio. Officially supported platforms per Inovelli's Hub Platform Compatibility Chart: SmartThings, Hubitat, Home Assistant (ZHA and Zigbee2MQTT), Homey, and Amazon Echo models that include a Zigbee radio. The Philips Hue Bridge is explicitly listed as not compatible.) · Works offline: Yes — the core function runs on the device or your home network

Inovelli White Series Smart Fan/Light Canopy Module (VTM36) — the catch, per ecosystem ~$60 at time of research (Inovelli's own store) — never treated as a live price
✗ Amazon Alexa: Doesn't work — Inovelli says so itself, on the page selling the module: 'This switch is not compatible with Amazon Echo as their platform does not support the Matter Fan profile at this time.' The blocker is on Amazon's side, not the module's: a Matter fan device type that Alexa does not yet implement, so it could change without any hardware change. The same page adds that 'Amazon Echos are not approved at this time' as Thread border routers. Note that Inovelli's own help-centre manual lists 'Amazon Alexa' in its platform sentence; the two Inovelli surfaces disagree and the disagreement is published below.
◐ Google Home: Works; brightness unconfirmed — Inovelli lists Google among the platforms the module works with, with the note 'Requires a compatible device', meaning a Google speaker or display that acts as a Thread border router and Matter controller. Inovelli's list of the platforms that support separate fan-speed and dimming control leaves Google out, and its Matter certificate lists it as a fan, not a light, so dimming the light from Google Home is unconfirmed.
◐ Apple Home: Works, except fan mode — Works for the light; fan speed is the exception, and the limit is on Apple's side. Inovelli lists Apple among the platforms the module works with ('Requires a compatible device', meaning a HomePod or Apple TV acting as home hub and Thread border router), and its product page names Apple Home among the platforms that support separate fan-speed and dimming control. Apple's own list of the Matter accessories the Home app supports names lights and switches but leaves fans out, and the module is certified as a fan. Apple's list is the word on what the Home app supports, so fan speed is the exception here until Apple names fans.
✓ SmartThings: Works — Inovelli lists SmartThings among the platforms the module works with ('Requires a compatible device', meaning a SmartThings hub with Thread acting as border router and Matter controller), and its product page names SmartThings among the platforms that support separate fan-speed and dimming control. The basis is Inovelli's own page; SmartThings publishes nothing for this model.
✓ Home Assistant: Works — Inovelli lists Home Assistant and marks it 'Requires a Thread Border Router', and names it among the platforms that support separate fan-speed and dimming control. Home Assistant's own Matter integration is official and local push, and this device is CSA-certified Matter 1.2, so both parties document the path. Hubitat is also listed by Inovelli, excluding the C-4.
Connection: Thread · Matter · Hub for full use: Yes (Yes. Inovelli states it plainly: 'Yes, this module requires a hub that supports Thread.' In practice that means a Thread border router on the network plus a Matter controller for whichever ecosystem you use. Inovelli's compatibility list says Apple, Google and SmartThings each need a compatible device, and marks Home Assistant and Hubitat 'Requires a Thread Border Router.' The manual gives the radio budget as up to 100 metres line-of-sight between the module and the closest border router.) · Works offline: Yes — the core function runs on the device or your home network

Fanimation fanSync AC Motor WiFi Receiver (WFR50) — the catch, per ecosystem
✓ Amazon Alexa: Works — Fanimation documents the link in its own app guide and instruction sheet — 'Link with Amazon Echo, Google Home and IFTTT', performed inside the fanSync WiFi app under Settings > Connections — and points to Amazon's own help article for the account-linking step. Two limits worth knowing before you buy for voice: the route is an account link through Fanimation's cloud, so it stops when your internet does, and Fanimation publishes no list of what Alexa can actually say to the fan, so speed steps, direction and light behaviour through voice are undocumented.
✓ Google Home: Works — The same sentence and the same Connections menu name Google Home alongside Amazon Echo, with Fanimation linking to Google's own account-linking help page. Same two limits as the Alexa cell: cloud-routed, and no published command list.
✗ Apple Home: Doesn't work — Apple Home, HomeKit and Siri appear nowhere in any of Fanimation's three own documents for this product. That absence is evidenced rather than guessed at: the app guide devotes a titled section to the question 'How do I link my fanSync WiFi control with Amazon Echo, Google Home and IFTTT?', lists the Connections menu, then goes further and names the platforms you can reach indirectly — 'In order to connect with NEST, ECOBEE, Samsung Smart things, wink, etc. ... you must connect via IFTTT.' Apple is in neither list, direct or indirect. We record this as a no on the strength of a maker describing its whole control surface and leaving Apple out of it, not on an outright 'not supported' statement — which Fanimation does not make. The reason sits in the hardware as well as the paperwork: the receiver only speaks Wi-Fi, to Fanimation's own cloud service, and Fanimation names no HomeKit or Matter support anywhere, so Apple Home has nothing to connect to.
◐ SmartThings: Partial — Reachable, but only the long way round, and Fanimation says so itself: 'In order to connect with NEST, ECOBEE, Samsung Smart things, wink, etc. ... you must connect via IFTTT.' That means the fan is not a SmartThings device — it is a fanSync device that IFTTT can pass commands to, so it does not appear in SmartThings as a fan with speed control, automations route through a third company's service, and IFTTT's own account tiers govern how many of them you can run and how fast they fire. That is why we call it partial rather than supported. Fanimation publishes no SmartThings setup article, and Samsung's own materials do not name this product.
✗ Home Assistant: Doesn't work — Home Assistant publishes no Fanimation or fanSync integration, and Fanimation names Home Assistant nowhere in its own materials — so there is no supported route from either side. The nearest documented workaround is the IFTTT relay described under SmartThings, which is not a Home Assistant integration and gives you no local control. We record this as a no rather than as unknown because we checked it properly: neither of the two pages such an integration would live at exists, and we separately searched Home Assistant's complete list of integrations for both brand names and found nothing.

Hubbell iDevices Z-Wave Enabled Radio Frequency (RF) Decorator Fan Control (IDEVZ07W) — the catch, per ecosystem
◐ Amazon Alexa: Works; on/off unconfirmed — Hubbell names this platform on its own product page — 'Conveniently operated through other smart home integrations with Alexa, Alarm.com, and the Google Assistant' — and states the mechanism in the specification: 'Compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Home via Hub'. The support is not this switch's own: it comes from whatever Z-Wave hub you buy. Because Hubbell names Alexa and the hub route for this fan control, setting the fan speed counts as working there. Hubbell names no hub and lists no command, so on/off through Alexa is unconfirmed. Two households running it on different controllers can get different Alexa results, and a hub with no Alexa link gives none.
◐ Google Home: Works; on/off unconfirmed — Hubbell names this platform on its own product page — 'Conveniently operated through other smart home integrations with Alexa, Alarm.com, and the Google Assistant' — and states the mechanism in the specification: 'Compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Home via Hub'. The support is not this switch's own: it comes from whatever Z-Wave hub you buy. Because Hubbell names Google and the hub route for this fan control, setting the fan speed counts as working there. Hubbell names no hub and lists no command, so on/off through Google is unconfirmed. Two households running it on different controllers can get different Google results, and a hub with no Google link gives none.
? Apple Home: Inconclusive — Not established, and deliberately not converted into a 'no' despite the vendor's silence. Hubbell names Alexa, Alarm.com and Google Assistant and mentions Apple, HomeKit and Siri nowhere. But the architecture is exactly the reason silence cannot be read as absence here: this is a Z-Wave device whose platform reach is supplied by the hub, and several Z-Wave controllers do expose their devices to Apple Home. Whether that works for this switch depends on a controller Hubbell does not name and did not test. Unknown on both sides is the honest state — this is the same reasoning applied to the SmartThings cell.
? SmartThings: Inconclusive — Not established. Hubbell does not mention SmartThings, and no Samsung documentation naming this model was located. As with Apple, vendor silence is weak evidence for a Z-Wave device: SmartThings hubs include Z-Wave radios and pair certified Z-Wave devices routinely, so the plausible answer is that it would probably pair through the hub — but a probable answer is not a record. Unknown on both sides, and a buyer who needs SmartThings specifically should confirm against the SmartThings device list rather than against this page.
✓ Home Assistant: Works — Works with Home Assistant's own Z-Wave support, which runs on your own hardware with no cloud in the path. Hubbell never mentions Home Assistant, but Home Assistant's Z-Wave support covers fan controls and lists fan entities, so on/off and fan speed come across. Home Assistant does not name this switch, and the Z-Wave device list it points to has no entry for the IDEVZ07W; Home Assistant says a device can still work without one. You need a Z-Wave adapter, such as Home Assistant's Connect ZWA-2, plugged into the machine that runs Home Assistant.
Connection: Z-Wave · Hub for full use: Yes (Yes, unavoidably, and Hubbell says so in the same breath as the platforms: 'Compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Home via Hub'. This is a Z-Wave Plus certified device, and Z-Wave is not Wi-Fi — it does not talk to your router, it talks to a Z-Wave controller, and without one the switch is a wall control with no smart function at all. That controller is a separate purchase and this catalogue's other Z-Wave records show the range of what qualifies: a dedicated hub, a Home Assistant machine with a Z-Wave adapter, a SmartThings hub, or a security panel like Alarm.com's. ⚠ Read the name carefully, because it describes an architecture people miss: this is a 'Radio Frequency (RF) Decorator Fan Control'. The wall switch speaks Z-Wave to your hub AND radio frequency to the fan's own receiver — so the fan itself must be one this control can drive. Hubbell's stated compatibility is by motor type rather than by brand: 'Works with most Shaded pole and split capacitor driven motors'. That is a specification about your ceiling fan, not about your smart home, and it is the one to check first. Electrical ratings published: 2.5 A at 120 V. Hubbell does not state a neutral-wire requirement anywhere on the page, which is an omission rather than a 'no' — verify against the installation instructions before buying.) · Works offline: Yes — the core function runs on the device or your home network
Leviton Decora Smart Wi-Fi Dimmer, 2nd Gen (D26HD) — the catch, per ecosystem
✓ Amazon Alexa: Works — Cloud skill via My Leviton account; Leviton states existing cloud integrations are not impacted by the Matter update, so both paths can coexist.
✓ Google Home: Works — Cloud integration via My Leviton account; Matter is an alternative path.
✓ Apple Home: Works — Native HomeKit on stock firmware. Installing the Matter firmware removes the existing HomeKit connection; the dimmer must be re-added to Apple Home with its Matter pairing code from the My Leviton app.
✓ SmartThings: Works — Listed by Leviton among supported ecosystems; cloud-linked, with Matter as an alternative path.
✓ Home Assistant: Works — Home Assistant turns it on and off and sets brightness through its own Matter support, which runs locally, once the dimmer has Leviton's Matter firmware. Leviton offers that firmware through its early access program in the My Leviton app. Home Assistant's older Leviton integration is community maintained, works through Leviton's cloud and does not list the D26HD.

Leviton Decora Smart Wi-Fi Switch, 15A (D315S) — the catch, per ecosystem
◐ Amazon Alexa: Works; on/off unconfirmed — Leviton documents two ways in, and the one recorded here is the one that costs you nothing extra. Its own instruction sheet says you can 'set up your device with My Leviton and link your Amazon account, or you can use Matter to set it up directly in the Amazon Alexa app if you have a compatible Matter-enabled Amazon device'. The account-linked route needs only the free app, which is why it is the one recorded; the Matter route keeps the traffic on your own network, but only if you already own an Echo that speaks Matter. Leviton names Alexa for voice control and does not say which control Alexa gets on the account-linked route, so on/off is unconfirmed there, and Amazon publishes no product list we are able to read.
◐ Google Home: Works; on/off unconfirmed — The same two routes as Alexa. Leviton's instruction sheet: 'you can set up your device with My Leviton and link your Google account, or you can use Matter to set it up directly in the Google Home app if you have a compatible Matter-enabled Google device.' The account-linked route is the one recorded, because it needs no hardware you do not already have; the Matter route needs a Google speaker or display that speaks Matter. Leviton names Google for voice control and does not say which control Google gets on the account-linked route, so on/off is unconfirmed there, and Google publishes no product directory we can check for this model.
✓ Apple Home: Works — Coded differently from Alexa/Google deliberately, and the asymmetry is reasoned rather than arbitrary: Apple Home speaks only HomeKit or Matter, and Leviton documents NO native-HomeKit path for this model — unlike the 2nd-Gen line, which advertised HomeKit prominently. The instruction sheet carries no HomeKit branding at all and its single controller step is 'Connect to a Matter controller (optional)', while the product page says 'Matter ready out of the box'. Matter is therefore the only remaining path, not a guess. Full because on/off is this device's entire function and its certified Matter device type is On/Off Light (0x0100). Platform requirement, not a D315S spec: Leviton states that controlling Matter accessories from the Apple Home app and Siri 'requires an Apple Home hub such as a HomePod or Apple TV running the latest software', and that the Matter pairing code lives in the My Leviton app under Device Settings. Apple says an iPhone on iOS 18 or later can add and control Matter accessories without a home hub, though it recommends one.
✓ SmartThings: Works — Both companies now say it works, and there is one way in: Matter, through a SmartThings hub. Samsung's own partner directory lists this switch by its model number, and Leviton's instruction sheet says: 'For use with Samsung SmartThings, use Matter to set up your device in the SmartThings app and connect to a compatible Matter-enabled SmartThings Hub.' Unlike Alexa and Google, Leviton offers no account-linking route here, so if you do not already have a Matter-capable SmartThings hub, you will need one. That is a requirement of the platform rather than a limit of the switch, the same way Apple Home needs a HomePod or Apple TV, and on/off, which is this switch's whole job, comes through.
◐ Home Assistant: Works per the maker; details unconfirmed — Leviton lists Home Assistant among the platforms this switch works with, but it does not say how the switch connects to Home Assistant or what Home Assistant can do with it, so even on/off from Home Assistant is unconfirmed. Leviton's setup guide gives steps for Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home and SmartThings and none for Home Assistant. The switch is Matter-ready, but Leviton does not name Matter as the way into Home Assistant.

Lutron Caseta Diva Smart Dimmer (DVRF-6L) — the catch, per ecosystem
◐ Amazon Alexa: Works; on/off and brightness unconfirmed — Works through the Caséta Smart Hub, which is required and sold separately — this dimmer speaks Lutron's proprietary Clear Connect RF and has no radio of its own. Lutron names Amazon Alexa for the Caséta system on its Works With page, but it does not say which controls work through Alexa and publishes no per-model list, so on/off and brightness on Alexa are unconfirmed for this dimmer.
✓ Google Home: Works — Works through the Caséta Smart Hub, which is required and sold separately — this dimmer speaks Lutron's proprietary Clear Connect RF and has no radio of its own. With the hub, Google Home does the whole job: on, off, dim and scenes by voice. Google's own list of devices that Google Home routines can control names this dimmer by model, for on, off and dimming.
◐ Apple Home: Works; on/off and brightness unconfirmed — Apple Home support is a function of the Caséta Smart Hub: Lutron says the hub contains Apple Home technology, so Siri can control your lights. No hub, no Home app or Siri. Lutron does not say which controls work in Apple Home, so on/off and brightness are unconfirmed there.
◐ SmartThings: Works; brightness unconfirmed — Official Lutron-SmartThings integration. Lutron says it needs three things: a Lutron Smart Hub or Smart Hub PRO, at least one Lutron dimmer or shade, and a SmartThings hub of any generation. Lutron's SmartThings page describes SmartThings routines that turn Caséta lights on and off, so on/off works; it does not mention dimming, so brightness in SmartThings is unconfirmed.
✓ Home Assistant: Works — Official built-in integration (lutron_caseta), local push, but it connects to the Smart Hub, never to the dimmer directly.
Connection: Clear Connect · Hub for full use: Yes (Caseta Smart Hub (L-BDG2-WH) or Smart Hub PRO is required for app control, scheduling, scenes, and every ecosystem integration (Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home, SmartThings, Home Assistant). Without a hub it still works as a normal wall dimmer: slider at the wall, wired 3-way, and up to 10 directly paired Pico remotes. Hub price is not published on an official Lutron page.) · Works offline: Yes — the core function runs on the device or your home network

Lutron Caséta Smart Fan Speed Control Switch (PD-FSQN) — the catch, per ecosystem
◐ Amazon Alexa: Works; on/off unconfirmed — Works only through a Lutron Smart Hub, sold separately; the switch itself has no standard radio. Lutron lists Alexa among the platforms its Caséta hub works with, so setting the fan speed works through Alexa. Lutron's Alexa description mentions lights only and doesn't say whether Alexa can turn the fan on and off, so on/off is unconfirmed.
◐ Google Home: Works; on/off unconfirmed — Works only through a Lutron Smart Hub, sold separately; the switch itself has no standard radio. Lutron lists Google Home among the platforms its Caséta hub works with, so setting the fan speed works through Google Home. Lutron's Google description mentions lights only and doesn't say whether Google Home can turn the fan on and off, so on/off is unconfirmed.
◐ Apple Home: Works; on/off unconfirmed — Lutron states the Smart Hub contains Apple Home technology — the hub provides it, not the switch — and its HomeKit help article says fan controls are among the Lutron devices that show up in the Apple Home app, so setting the fan speed works there. Lutron's Siri sentence promises control of 'your lights, shades, and more' and doesn't say whether Apple Home can turn the fan on and off, so on/off is unconfirmed.
◐ SmartThings: Works; on/off unconfirmed — Official Lutron-SmartThings integration. Lutron says it needs three things: a Lutron Smart Hub or Smart Hub PRO, at least one Lutron dimmer or shade, and a SmartThings hub of any generation. Caseta scenes cannot be imported into SmartThings. Lutron's SmartThings description names lights and shades and doesn't say whether SmartThings can turn the fan on and off, so on/off is unconfirmed; setting the fan speed works.
✓ Home Assistant: Works — Official lutron_caseta integration with local push; fan speed control is an explicitly supported device type and appears as a fan entity. Requires a Smart Hub or Bridge PRO plus generated certificates. Note Lutron does not list Home Assistant on its own works-with page — support is documented only from the Home Assistant side.
Connection: Clear Connect · Hub for full use: Yes (Yes for anything smart. The switch carries only Lutron's proprietary Clear Connect RF and no standard radio, so every ecosystem integration happens at the hub. It works as a manual wall control with no hub and pairs directly with Pico remotes and Caseta motion sensors (up to 10 devices), but the Lutron app, remote access, voice assistants, and all platform integrations require a Lutron Smart Hub or Smart Hub PRO. RF range is 60 ft line-of-sight, 30 ft through walls.) · Works offline: Yes — the core function runs on the device or your home network
Lutron Caséta Wireless In-Wall Switch (PD-5ANS) — the catch, per ecosystem
✓ Amazon Alexa: Works — A property of the Lutron Smart Bridge rather than of this switch, which carries no standard radio of any kind. 'Amazon Alexa' is named on Lutron's Caséta 'Works With' page, which is a system-level page: it lists what the Caséta system works with, not what each SKU does. Same framing as the Claro and PD-5WS-DV records.
✓ Google Home: Works — Named on the same Lutron 'Works With' page as 'Google Assistant', which is the voice service rather than the Google Home app. Reached through the Smart Bridge; the switch itself is Clear Connect only.
✓ Apple Home: Works — 'Apple Home' is named on Lutron's 'Works With' page, alongside 'Apple Watch' as a separate entry. The Apple Home technology sits in the Lutron hub, not in the switch.
✓ SmartThings: Works — Official Lutron-SmartThings integration. Lutron says it needs three things: a Lutron Smart Hub or Smart Hub PRO, at least one Lutron dimmer or shade, and a SmartThings hub of any generation. A limit of the system rather than of this switch: Caséta scenes cannot be imported into SmartThings.
✓ Home Assistant: Works — The one platform answer on this page that Lutron does not claim and Home Assistant does — which is the stronger of the two directions. Home Assistant's own Caséta integration documents support for the line, names the specific bridges it works with, runs over your own network rather than through anyone's servers, and states plainly that it handles 'Wall switches as switches', which is exactly what Lutron classifies this model as. Home Assistant appears nowhere on Lutron's 'Works With' page, so the support is documented from one side only — and that side is the one doing the integrating.
Connection: Clear Connect · Hub for full use: Yes (Yes for anything a buyer would call smart. The switch speaks Lutron's proprietary Clear Connect RF and carries no Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, Z-Wave or Thread radio, so the app - and with it every ecosystem on this record - arrives only with a Lutron Smart Bridge or Smart Bridge PRO. Without one it still works as a wall switch and pairs with Pico remote controls, which is what Lutron's own wiring diagrams for this model describe: it publishes '3-Way or Multilocation Wiring with a Pico Remote' alongside 'Single Pole Wiring' and '3-Way Wiring with a Mechanical Switch'. Lutron's installation page for this SKU carries a 'Do I need a Smart Hub?' section, which is a fair summary of the decision. There is also a range limit that comes with that radio: the switch has to sit within 60 ft (18 m) line-of-sight, or 30 ft (9 m) through walls, of the hub, a repeater, or the Pico remote it answers to.) · Works offline: Yes — the core function runs on the device or your home network

A limit of the system rather than of this switch: Caséta scenes cannot be imported into SmartThings.
✓ Home Assistant: Works — The one platform on this page that Lutron does not claim and the other side does, which is the stronger of the two directions. Home Assistant's own Lutron Caséta integration documents support for the Caséta line, names the specific bridges it works with, controls them over your own network, and states plainly that it handles "Wall switches as switches" — which is exactly what this model is. Home Assistant appears nowhere on Lutron's "Works With" page, so the support is documented from one side only, and that side is the one doing the integrating.
Connection: Clear Connect · Hub for full use: Yes (Yes for anything that resembles a smart switch, and the specification submittal is unusually precise about the boundary. Without a hub the PD-5WS-DV is still a wireless switch in a narrow sense: it works with Pico remote controls, with Caséta motion sensors, and with Lutron Radio Powr Savr occupancy and vacancy sensors 'in standalone applications', and Lutron notes those sensors 'do not work with Smart Bridge or Smart Bridge PRO'. The app, and with it every ecosystem on this record, arrives only with a hub - the feature table lists 'Works with the Lutron app (via a Smart Bridge or Smart Bridge PRO)' as a distinct line, footnoted 'The Lutron App is required for setup and use with the Smart Bridge and Smart Bridge PRO.' There is a distance constraint too, which most hub dependencies do not state: the switch 'must be located within 60 ft (18 m) line-of-sight or 30 ft (9 m) through walls of a Lutron Smart Bridge, Smart Bridge PRO, or Caséta Wireless Repeater.') · Works offline: Yes — the core function runs on the device or your home network
Lutron Claro Smart Switch for Caséta (DVRF-5NS) — the catch, per ecosystem
✓ Amazon Alexa: Works — Requires a Lutron Smart Hub; the switch carries no standard radio.
✓ Google Home: Works — Requires a Lutron Smart Hub; the switch carries no standard radio.
✓ Apple Home: Works — Lutron states the Smart Hub contains Apple Home technology — the hub provides it, not the switch.
✓ SmartThings: Works — Official Lutron-SmartThings integration. Lutron says it needs three things: a Lutron Smart Hub or Smart Hub PRO, at least one Lutron dimmer or shade, and a SmartThings hub of any generation. Caseta scenes cannot be imported into SmartThings.
✓ Home Assistant: Works — Official lutron_caseta integration with local push via Smart Hub or Bridge PRO; wall switches expose as switch entities. Lutron does not list Home Assistant on its own works-with page — support is documented only from the Home Assistant side.
Connection: Clear Connect · Hub for full use: Yes (Yes for anything smart. The switch works standalone as a wall control and pairs directly with Pico remotes without a hub, but Lutron states a Smart Hub is required to monitor or operate Caseta products from a smart device and to create scenes or timeclock schedules. No app, no voice, and no ecosystem integration without it — a real added cost on top of the switch.) · Works offline: Yes — the core function runs on the device or your home network

Lutron Pico Wireless Remote Control — the catch, per ecosystem
✗ Amazon Alexa: Doesn't work — The Pico controls your Lutron devices; it does not appear to Alexa as anything. Lutron's integration model exposes load controllers only — dimmers, switches, fan controls, smart plugs and hybrid keypads — and Lutron states affirmatively that Pico remotes are not devices in the Apple Home app and do not show up in the SmartThings app. Lutron publishes no equivalent sentence for Alexa specifically, so this cell rests on that stated model plus the two affirmative statements about sibling platforms, not on an Alexa-specific disclaimer. Practical effect: a Pico press cannot start an Alexa routine or touch a non-Lutron device.
✗ Google Home: Doesn't work — Same as Alexa, and on the same basis. Lutron's Google Home FAQ discusses controlling Lutron scenes by voice, not surfacing Pico remotes to Google — and the same load-controllers-only model applies. Recorded as none from Lutron's stated integration model rather than from a Google-specific statement, which Lutron does not publish.
✗ Apple Home: Doesn't work — Lutron states it directly: 'Lutron Smart Hubs, Repeaters, Processors, Pico remote controls, and standard keypads are not controllable devices via the Home app.' Only load controllers appear. A Caséta Smart Hub (L-BDG2 or L-BDGPRO2) is what gives the SYSTEM its HomeKit connection — it does not put the Pico in Apple Home.
✗ SmartThings: Doesn't work — Lutron's own FAQ answers the question outright: 'Do Pico remotes show up in the SmartThings app? No, Pico remotes do not show up in the SmartThings app.' The Lutron devices a Pico controls can appear; the remote itself cannot.
✓ Home Assistant: Works — The one platform where a Pico press escapes Lutron's walls. Home Assistant's official Lutron Caséta integration exposes 'Pico Remotes as device triggers', and its documentation states 'Device triggers are available for every button on Pico remotes, Shade remotes, and keypads' — press, release, multi-tap, and long-press on HomeWorks QSX. That makes a $20 button a trigger for anything Home Assistant controls. It is local push, and it requires one of the named bridges: the Caséta Smart Hub (L-BDG2-WH), Smart Bridge PRO (L-BDGPRO2-WH), RA2 Select Main Repeater, RadioRA 3 processor or QSX processor.
Connection: Clear Connect · Hub for full use: No (A Lutron system is required, but a hub is not always. Lutron states that a Pico can be paired straight to a Caseta device: 'Although it is not required for functionality between a Pico remote and a Caséta device, adding the Caséta Smart Hub to your system unlocks additional programming options.' So the remote works hub-free as an extra point of control for a switch, dimmer, fan control or shade you already own — and needs the Caséta Smart Hub only for scenes, schedules and any third-party integration. What it never does is work alone: there is no Pico-only mode, and it speaks only to Lutron equipment.) · Works offline: Yes — the core function runs on the device or your home network

TP-Link Kasa Smart Ceiling Fan Control and Dimmer Switch (KS240) — the catch, per ecosystem
◐ Amazon Alexa: Works; on/off and brightness unconfirmed — TP-Link connects this switch to Alexa through the Kasa skill, which you turn on in the Alexa app and sign in to with your TP-Link account. TP-Link's product page says you can manage the connected fan and light with Alexa, so setting the fan speed works there. It doesn't say whether Alexa can turn them on and off or dim the light, so on/off and dimming are unconfirmed there.
◐ Google Home: Works; on/off and brightness unconfirmed — TP-Link connects this switch to Google Home when you link your TP-Link account through Works with Google Home in the Google Home app. TP-Link's product page says you can manage the connected fan and light with Google Assistant, so setting the fan speed works there. It doesn't say whether Google can turn them on and off or dim the light, so on/off and dimming are unconfirmed there.
✓ Apple Home: Works — A real Apple Home answer, and it is worth saying so explicitly because two other products verified this same week turned out to offer only Siri Shortcuts dressed up as Apple support. TP-Link's own words describe the Home app rather than a voice phrase: 'Easily integrate your KS240 with Apple Home to conveniently manage your connected fans and lights using the Apple Home App or with voice commands by asking Siri.' A device you manage in the Apple Home App is a device in Apple Home — a tile, a room, something automations can address and the household can share. TP-Link also uses Apple's current name for the platform rather than the retired 'HomeKit' branding. One thing NOT published: TP-Link does not say whether the route is HomeKit or Matter, so the mechanism is recorded as native and local on the strength of the Home-app statement rather than a stated protocol. Matter is named nowhere on the page.
✗ SmartThings: Doesn't work — Plan on a different switch if SmartThings runs your house. TP-Link's specification sheet for the KS240 has a line headed 'Third-Party Platform', and the whole of it reads Apple Home, Alexa, Google Assistant. SmartThings is not on it, and that line is where TP-Link says what a switch works with. This is not the company ignoring SmartThings generally: the same line on TP-Link's own Tapo S505 switch does carry Samsung SmartThings, so TP-Link adds it where it applies, and for this fan-and-light switch it did not. Apple Home, Alexa or Google Home are the three that are stood behind here.
✓ Home Assistant: Works — ⊕ The strongest cell on this record, and unusually so because it rests on a MODEL NAME rather than a device class. Home Assistant ships an official TP-Link Smart Home integration, IoT class 'Local Polling', which 'allows you to control your TP-Link Kasa Smart Home Devices and TP-Link Tapo Devices' — and its supported-wall-switch list names KS240 explicitly, alongside HS200, HS210, HS220, KS200, KS200M, KS205, KS220, KS220M, KS225 and KS230. Most integration cells in this catalogue rest on a class match that a future model list could narrow; this one is already at model granularity. The integration covers fans and lights among its device categories, which matters for a two-load switch. ⚠ One condition attached to this model specifically: Home Assistant footnotes KS240 as requiring authentication, so expect to supply TP-Link account credentials during setup even though the control path itself is local. TP-Link names Home Assistant nowhere — the whole cell comes from the other side.
Connection: Wi-Fi · Hub for full use: No (No hub, and TP-Link names none anywhere on the page — this is a Wi-Fi switch that talks to your router directly. What it does require is wiring, and one requirement is absolute and stated twice: 'Neutral Wire Required: Yes', with the installation note 'Neutral wire is required. Connect wires to the smart switch as below.' That is the single fact that decides whether you can buy this, and it is decided by your house rather than by you — older US switch boxes frequently have no neutral, and no setting or adapter works around it. Check the box before ordering. The switch replaces a combined fan-and-light wall control, so it is a two-load device in one gang: it sets fan speed and dims the light from the same faceplate.) · Works offline: Not checked — we have not established whether this keeps working without the internet
TP-Link Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Dimmer Switch KS225 (Matter) — the catch, per ecosystem
✓ Amazon Alexa: Works — Works with Alexa per the official datasheet; Matter is an alternative path. The native path rides the TP-Link cloud account link.
✓ Google Home: Works — Works with Google Home per the official datasheet; Matter is an alternative path.
✓ Apple Home: Works — No native HomeKit; Apple Home and Siri work only through Matter; an iPhone on iOS 18 or later can add and control it over Matter without a home hub, and a HomePod, HomePod mini or Apple TV is still needed to control it away from home, run automations and share control. TP-Link names the Apple Home app explicitly.
✓ SmartThings: Works — Works with SmartThings per the official datasheet; Matter is an alternative path.
✓ Home Assistant: Works — Official tplink integration, local polling, KS225 explicitly listed, with the footnote 'Model requires authentication': TP-Link cloud credentials must be entered once to enable local access.

Wiring and load come first
Lutron Diva documents no-neutral operation without a bypass for its supported loads. Inovelli Blue 2-1 requires a fixture bypass for its no-neutral route. Lutron’s PD-5WS-DV is a separate no-neutral on/off model with its own load-adapter conditions.
GE Cync Matter paddle dimmer and Kasa KS225 require a neutral. Their load and dimming requirements differ. See the connection guide for Matter and the other protocols. A no-neutral option is not permission to use any bulb or load, and a white conductor does not by itself identify a neutral.
Use the exact maker’s specification and diagram. The no-neutral guide explains the separate bypass and hub checks.
Several control points need model-specific support
KS225 is single-pole only. Diva documents mechanical and remote routes; Inovelli documents several multi-way configurations. Do not treat all of them as ordinary traveler-wire replacements.
For a light controlled from two or more places, check the three-way guide, then confirm the exact diagram and needed accessories. A wireless remote can avoid wiring at its own control point, not the installation of the primary wired device.
A vendor hub and a platform controller are different requirements
Caséta uses a separate Lutron hub for app and platform connections. Inovelli’s Zigbee functions need a supported hub; its chart excludes Apple Home, Google Home and Hue Bridge. Echo support is limited to qualifying Zigbee models, with feature depth undocumented.
KS225 needs no Kasa hub. On Apple Home, an iPhone on iOS 18 or later can add and control it over Matter without a home hub. A HomePod, HomePod mini or Apple TV is still needed to control it away from home, run automations and share control. Do not read “hub-free Wi-Fi” as no equipment or account requirement for every function.
IKEA BILRESA is a battery remote, not an in-wall power switch or a general Matter controller. It can pair directly with up to ten IKEA smart products. Its platform route needs a Thread border router. It can join Google Home, but Google’s documented limitation prevents setting its button up to control devices there; that is different from being unable to pair at all. Other platforms’ button mapping needs its own check.
Keep firmware and generations separate
For existing owners, the discontinued Leviton D26HD has a Matter route that requires the documented opt-in firmware programme. Installing that firmware removes an existing native HomeKit pairing until the device is re-added through Matter. Do not transfer this process to a newer Leviton model that ships with Matter.
Likewise, GE’s Matter dimmer requires neutral and ground even though older Cync designs had different wiring features. Model names, generations and firmware conditions belong in the buying check.

Frequently asked questions
Can I identify wiring from house age or wire colour?
Not reliably. Confirm the exact conductor functions using the maker’s procedure or a qualified electrician. The checker does not inspect the electrical installation.
Does every switch in the table cut mains power?
No. The category also includes battery remotes. They send commands to compatible equipment and have different hub and platform-action requirements.
Does an unknown function mean it cannot work?
No. It means the reviewed evidence does not settle the function. Resolve a required control before buying; do not treat a badge or listing as proof.
