Ge Smart Switch Flashing Blue Light

Kept forgetting to turn workbench lights off. Saw this power strip and decided to try and incorporate them with my existing overhead GE smart wall switch. The transaction with B & H couldn't have been any easier and the item arrived in no time! Since the garage overhead light is controlled by a GE smart wall switch, this was a no brainer. Just added the Kasa Smart Power Strip to my Kasa app, then into our Habitat system. Now when ever I operate the wall switch, it controls both the overhead & workbench lights!

Works as advertised! It's responsive and easy to use. My only minor complaint is the flashing blue light which can be a little annoying in a dark venue But, I realize there has to be some way to know that it's on

I have only had them for about 2 weeks but so far so good. The only feature my old smart lights (knock off brand) had I wish these had was a color strobe light that changed to different colors on its own every second/ millisecond. Connection is simple ( A lot easier than C by GE). Also has better features than the GE. The only feature I wish they had was knowing what time it is and being able to have them off during those times. yes you can set a schedule and that works but if you cut power to them and turn them back on after the schedule you have to manually turn them off.

The TP-Link Smart Light Switch ITs The Best Light Switch Is The Best.

but it is unsettling to have the upstream light flashing

The brown switch feels much better than the blue switch.

My husband loves it. Simply on and off switch. No fancy flashing when he just wants it to turn on or turn off. You don’t have to play hide and seek for the switch either.

The bright blue light on the front is the on-off switch. I almost didn't buy this due to other reviews saying there was no switch. I received mine 2/9/2022 for a point of reference. I was also expecting typical mechanical drive sounds from it, but it is very quiet! I ran some random file transfer tests and it averaged round 225 MB/s writing to the 10TB d2 through my USB-C port with very little variance. I did laugh when I saw how bright and distracting the blue light in the on-off switch was once it started flashing to show drive activity. The main casing is aluminum and very sturdy and it has many small rubber feet on the bottom to isolate it from your desk top. For three bills, this is a great purchase.

There is no mention in the Sandisk website or product description about the LED light. There is a blue LED light under the switch, which will light blue and flash during activity if plugged into a port. Once you switch the head up to plug into a usb port, the LED light can appear once in, and writing/reading has begun. Very fast writing to a SSD. Very pleased. Durable also.

In our previous house we used a different brand smart light switch, it worked as expected but costs a little more.� Our new house I went for a 2 pack of the TP-Link smart switch and it also works as expected for outside lights. No more need to manually turn on / off outside lights at dusk / dawn.�� Note that these switches take up more space in the gang box and may require creative positioning of the existing wires in the box.
