Yes, you can typically turn a smart switch on and off manually, just like a regular light switch.
Smart switches are designed with both smart and manual control in mind. This means that even if your Wi-Fi is down, your app isn't working, or you simply prefer the traditional method, you can still operate the switch directly.
Here's a breakdown:
- Physical Switch: Most smart switches include a physical button or toggle that functions similarly to a standard light switch. You can press or flip this switch to turn the connected device (like a light) on or off.
- Override Functionality: The manual operation is usually independent of the smart functionality. So, turning the switch on/off manually won't affect its programmed schedules or scenes in the app unless the app settings are specifically configured that way.
- Dual Control: You have the flexibility to use either the physical switch or the app/voice control to manage the device connected to the smart switch, giving you convenient control options.
In summary, smart switches offer the best of both worlds: the convenience of smart control and the reliability of manual operation.
