Brilliant Smart Home Control (4-Switch Panel) — Alexa Built-In & Compatible with Ring, Sonos, Hue, Kasa/TP-Link, Wemo, SmartThings, Apple HomeKit — In-Wall Touchscreen Control for Lights, Music & More

I'm absolutely delighted with my Brilliant Smart Home Control system. Installation was a breeze, and the setup process was incredibly user-friendly. I have multiple units installed throughout my home, and integrating them with Alexa for home automation was seamless. The convenience of controlling lights, thermostats, and even doorbells from a single panel—or via voice command—is a game-changer.But what really sets this product apart for me is the intercom feature. It's incredibly useful for communicating between rooms without having to raise your voice or use a phone. The audio is clear, and the touch interface is intuitive. However, the speaker can not play music. That would be a nice upgrade for a future version. Overall, Brilliant Smart Home Control has significantly enhanced my home automation experience, making daily tasks more efficient and convenient. I highly recommend it!

Love that the Nest doorbell camera pops up on screen automatically, and I’ve set up the motion sensor for evenings for one of the light switches. The motion sensor also allows you to customize the sensitivity so that my dog won’t set it off, but a person will. There’s so many other integrations (thermostat, assistant plus many more) that we’re already using and excited to add more.Only downside is that location settings (weather and times for sunrise and sunset) are not yet available to anyone who lives outside the US (great for the 350 million Americans, but not so good for the other 7 billion people).

I was so excited about Brilliant, buying some of the very first switches when they launched 5 years ago... I'd been burned by other smart home switches, Wink hubs, and more high tech gadgets going out of business. At first their integration with Hue and others was a bit mis-guided in how switches controlled them, but they finally fixed a bit of that...But, crazily 5 years later, it's still a locked down walled garden system that is mind-boggling for the price point of these devices. They are beautiful pieces of hardware and have all the kinds of sensors you can imagine, touchscreens, motion, cameras, sliders, etc...But their insistence on refusing to release an open API or SDK for anyone to integrate with them in pro or Smart Home installations using proper DIY hubs like Hubitat, ISY, and others, is leaving them out of the very market you would think they are going for - true smart homes and smart home integrators. I've begged several smart home installation companies to use Brilliant in a few homes and their ecosystems and they say the same thing - it can't integrate with any API or SDK, yet it's priced like it should.Instead, you can only talk to the integrations they chose (SmartThings, HUE, and some others). Strangely they don't talk to Lutron, so you have to use SmartThings. So, in short, to use half of their features, you're still stuck with a hundred more hubs. They haven't updated the look or feel of their app in 5 years.And now with Amazon about to launch Echo hub, where is this going to leave Brilliant? In the dust. Anyway dropping this kind of cash per switch needs a device with an API and SDK so Hubitat and other hubs can take advantage of the switches and vice versa.Sad to say on home remodel will be ripping out 22 Brilliant switches. YES, 22... had them everywhere... but can't deal with no API any longer, time to go with touchpads.Catch up to the year 2024 Brilliant!

Bad after sales service

I've been looking for a 4-gang Alexa controlled switch for a long time. For whatever reason, a lot of the products available either don't fit a 4-gang opening or are very limited in features. This one is perfect for both! Installation was a breeze and the same as wiring a regular light switch. I was lucky and Brilliant added the live camera view for Android shortly after my purchase (I was hesitant to buy without this, but trusted it was coming soon). This is the only Brilliant switch I have so it's a little overkill for one room, but I'm planning to add more switches and use this as the main hub when not using Alexa. I'm really impressed with the product and looking forward to adding more!
