Living in Taiwan has always been advantageous when it comes to accessing HomeKit devices, especially with the North American plug compatibility. However, the lack of neutral wires in most homes has been a significant hurdle for installing smart switches. That is, until the Frontier Aura Smart Switch came into the picture. As someone who values both convenience and reliability, I couldn’t be happier with this purchase.The journey began when I stumbled upon this switch at The Guanghua Digital Plaza, a tech haven in Taipei. The packaging was straightforward, with clear visuals and essential information in English, making it easy to understand what was inside. Inside the box, I found the switch, two screws, rawl plugs, a pair of AAA batteries, and a manual. The manual was a lifesaver, providing detailed instructions for various wiring configurations.Installation was surprisingly smooth, even for someone like me who isn’t electrically inclined. The switch uses Bluetooth 4.2 LE, which means it doesn’t require a neutral wire—battery power keeps it active. This battery-powered feature is ingenious because it allows the switch to be added to HomeKit before wiring, ensuring Bluetooth signal reliability. The switch also has a blue LED indicator and an audible click, providing feedback with each press. While I initially wasn’t a fan of the design, it quickly grew on me.In daily use, the switch has proven to be incredibly reliable. It responds swiftly to both iPhone and Siri voice commands, which is impressive given Bluetooth’s reputation for latency. The battery life is another highlight, lasting up to a year, which adds to its convenience.After a week of use, I’m thoroughly impressed. The Frontier Aura Smart Switch isn’t just a solution for the lack of neutral wires; it’s a testament to innovative design and functionality. I’m hopeful that it will soon be available globally, bringing this smart solution to more homes worldwide. This switch is a must-have for anyone looking to enhance their smart home setup without compromising on reliability or ease of use.
