⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James Peterson - Smart Home Owner
"Installed the MK601 in my living room and bedroom about 5 months ago, and it’s been flawless. The two-way wiring support made it easy to retrofit without rewiring my old switches. I use the Smart Life app to schedule lights and control them via Alexa—waking up to gradual lighting is now a daily luxury. For a DIYer like me, the setup took under 20 minutes. Highly recommend for anyone starting their smart home journey."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 5 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Elena Martinez - Café Owner
"I bought three MK601 switches for our small café to automate lighting and coffee equipment. It’s been 8 months since installation, and they’ve reduced our energy bills by scheduling off-hours shutdowns. The 16A capacity handles our espresso machine just fine, and the Tuya app customization lets us adjust routines weekly. The CE and RoHS certifications gave me peace of mind for commercial use. This is the most cost-effective smart switch I’ve found for small businesses."Purchase Date: September 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ David Lin - Apartment Renter
"As a renter, I needed something non-permanent and easy to install—this switch was perfect. I used it for my ceiling fan and didn’t need an electrician. The PC material feels sturdy, and I love that I can control it from my phone or with Google Home voice commands. Only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is that the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi can lag during peak internet usage, but that’s more my router than the device. Still, great value for home use and customization."Purchase Date: April 2025 | Usage Period: 3 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Anita Patel - Tech-Savvy Homeowner
"I’ve installed several smart switches, and the MK601 stands out for its DIY-friendly design. The multi-scenario adaptation is real—used it in a hallway with two-way wiring and integrated it into my existing Tuya ecosystem seamlessly. I set up motion-triggered lighting using app automation, and it works like a charm. After 6 months, no glitches, no overheating. The PC build feels safer than cheaper ABS models. If you’re looking for customization solutions without complexity, this is it."Purchase Date: November 2024 | Usage Period: 6 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Marcus Reed - Workshop Manager
"We tested the Base Model (MK601) in our small workshop for lighting and tool control. After 4 months, it’s held up well under frequent use. The 16A rating is sufficient for our needs, though I can see why larger operations might want the Pro model. I appreciate the Tuya and Alexa integration—we use voice commands when hands are full. Only suggestion: add energy monitoring in future firmware. Otherwise, solid choice for commercial/home use with reliable smart scheduling."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 6 months

Linda Wu - IoT Solutions Consultant
"The MK601 is a standout in the budget smart switch category. Its multi-platform compatibility with Tuya, Alexa, and Google Home makes it ideal for users avoiding ecosystem lock-in. The PC material and 16A capacity offer a rare combination of safety and performance at this price point. I recommend it for first-time automators and small commercial setups alike."
Robert Hayes - Certified Electrical Inspector
"Seeing CE and RoHS certifications on a DIY smart switch is a big plus. The MK601’s polycarbonate housing provides excellent insulation and heat resistance, critical for 220V AC applications. It meets basic safety standards for residential and light commercial use. Always ensure proper installation, but the design itself is sound."
