iDevices Instant Switch review – CNET

This smart switch controls… other smart switches

The iDevices Instant Switch is a $35 stick-up Bluetooth button that can turn other iDevices light switches and smart plugs on and off. It’s a switch for your switches, which probably sounds a little redundant. It’s actually a pretty good idea.

Say you’ve got a light wired to a single switch that you’d love to be able to control from a second switch — maybe a stairway light you’d like to be able to turn on and off from both the top and the bottom of the stairs. Rather than wiring in a new three-way switch, you could just install an iDevices light switch on one end, then stick up the Instant Switch on the other.

You can also use the Instant Switch to control things like lamps, desk fans, space heaters or anything else you wouldn’t traditionally be able to control from a dedicated switch on the wall. Just plug it into an iDevices Switch or an iDevices Outlet, then pair it with the Instant Switch in the iDevices app.
