![]() ![]() I just bought 3 wemo switches, a TP link switch and a wemo plug last light out of the blue. If they were all 3 way switches I could buy 5 switches and then decide where I want them to go after the fact. What I like though is I wouldn’t have to decide exactly where I wanted to put the switches, then buy the appropriate switch. I would think as far as manufacturing is concerned it would be cheaper making one type of switch as opposed to 2 different types. The beauty of a 3 way switch is it can be installed in 2 way or three way applications. By integrating smart switches, the Sense motion sensor, and an Alexa Routine you could possibly set it up so you never have to touch the light switch again in certain rooms. #Wyze smart switch installIf all your switches were 3 way capable, I would switch out every one of my TP Link switches for your because it would offer me much more flexibility as to where I want to install them. ![]() You can install any 3 way as a single pole switch (One switch for the light), but you can not install a single pole switch on a 3 way circuit without losing functionality. Meaning you can control the light from 2 locations. If you want to know what I think would set you apart? I would make all smart wall switches 3 ways. They are both the Decora style switch like most are, but I switched all my switches over from the the old style to Decora a while ago because they have a cleaner look so that doesn’t really bother me. I have it set to toggle all of my outside lights, which can come in handy. You can push any one of the switches, hold it in for a few seconds and it will perform a 2nd function. The only reason I kept those for my outside lights is the “hold switch” function. I have Belkin WEMO switches on all of my outside lights, they are roughly $40. They are my favorite so far, and great switches that do not require a hub. TP Link makes one for you can buy for roughly $25. ![]()
