Works well with logi pop – have a few now to run activities with harmony, also hive through either harmony or ifttt for hive. Got set up with arlo through ifttt to deactivate and arm arlo, handy when leaving the back door open with the dog going in and out.
Great remotes at a fantastic ptice.
Works perfectly but one of my pops is not working out of the two i have set up the bridge with ease and one pop set up in a breeze but one pop is not working happy to change my review once i get a resolve.
‘simple is beautiful’ — there’s not much simpler than a single button. Logitech pop is a great addition to any smarthome — it seems overly simplistic at first, but that is the beauty of it. I bought two pops to control a sonos setup in my new bathroom (pops are waterproof) and almost immediately bought another two to tweak lighting setups around the house. The buttons can be configured for single, double and long presses, giving each button three macros you can program. My only gripes are that there is no native nest integration and the app (while beautifully designed) has a few ux quirks that affect usability. That aside, top purchase, thoroughly recommended.
Mainly used with sonos – ie group and ungroup speakers with button presses and play different playlists etc. However, as others have mentioned – the device is quite buggy. Generally though restarting the bridge resolves most issues. There was one issue that i logged with the logitech pop support team but ended up resolving myself. The problem i had was with updating the pop switch with changes to sonos playlists- when attempting to update i would get the error – sonos update failed. I found this was because i had too many items within under my sonos. I fixed by and removing some stations and playlists and the update began to work again. I have since logged the fix with logitech who i hope will provide a more permanent solution.
Was semi sceptical about getting the pop due to the price, however i took the plunge and i am very happy 
nice packaging and good build quality. I am using the included buttons for my lifx and hue setup at various points round the house where i/guests may not have there phone or tablet this works really wellonly issue i have is the additional costs of buttons seems really high and is preventing me purchasing more.
Probably ok, but little information found about how to use the damned thing. I bought it as a present for my son and he didn’t find much either.
Brilliant, i use it with logitech harmony hub to switch on tv and lights etc.
Clever design and great addition to a sonos bedroom setup. I can now switch on/off several radio channels on my bedroom sonos in the dark. It is the simplest technology things that are the most effective.
I’m trying to make my home smarter (with hive – through the use of ifttt)i bought this item to physically control 3 x hive active lights & 1 x hive active plug. Button 1 has been configured with 3 functions in my home (though should only be 2 but ifttt does not support ‘hive active light groups’ – but i would say this is a shortcoming of ifttt’s integration to hive than a problem with this product). I have configured as followslight 1: (living room with 2 x hive active lights)one click >toggle light 1two clicks >toggle light 2hold click >toggle hive active plugthis means that if i want to turn on both lights in one room, i have to click 3 times. Button 2 controls one other light and hive active plug. On it’s own, the logitech software is (in my experience) a bit basic and as such i would recommend only buying this if you intend to pair it with ifttt.
Really easy to set up out of the box. I brought this so that i could have a physical switch to turn on / off my lifx light strip and bulbs instead of saying ‘ok google’ which gets tiring after a while. Could be improved if it had an led to confirm the action had been carried out ( i know the lights turning on or off would tell me but it would be nice to have a visual if the switch was mounted on the wall for aesthetics)i already had the harmony hub and like many others have said i don’t really know why you have to get the bridge as well as the harmony hub could do the same job as the bridge.
I have a number of these to help ‘sell’ the smart home dream to my wife who much prefers the old school physical switches. When they work, they do the job but the problem is, the don’t always work which doesn’t really help to convince my wife that ‘smarthome’ is the way to go. Also, the integration with 3rd party devices seems limited. Fine with lifx and hue but the wemo socket works very sporadically and the app doesn’t seem to support many other alternatives ( for example it won’t detect the eve socket) in summary, good idea, great when it works but performance is inconsistent. These would be awesome if they worked reliably every time and had more 3rd per device integration options.
The buttons are smaller and feel nicer than i expected. A few seconds and it was working. Use the pop with smartthings to control my blink security system. My only complaint is i wish the could add a pause in the pop recipie. I would like to be able to press the pop button and for it to pause for 30 seconds before arming my security system. I would also like to be able to de-active the button from the app.
Just bought the starter kit and set it upgreat so far easy &quick to set up and simple to assign popsonly have philips hue lighting around the house and 2 logitech harmony remotes ( touch and elite)works flawlessly and fast with lights and activities from remotei just hope they support bose soundtouch system soon as i haven’t got sonos.
Not so much as far as connectivity.
It works as phisical button insted of your wirtual button on your phone. Perfect for smart home swiches or panic button.
This is really helpful for me as my wife is not familiar with smart home apps. Now, she is more comfortable with the actual button

A year or so back i heard of this company that made bluetooth buttons called flic. They make little buttons that connect by bluetooth which allows you to control various types of smart devices, which cab be as simple as controlling a smart light, to triggering some sort of routine that starts music playing, sets mood lighting and are fairly sleek looking for what they are. However i immediately returned them as i found them unfit for purpose. They were hundreds of dollars, and required a constant paired smartphone, to always be in close proximity to the buttons. They weren’t smart buttons at all, they were just extensions of a smartphone app. I didn’t have any plans to carry these buttons around the world with me as i travelled around, nor did i plan to buy a smartphone just to leave at home to have these buttons function without my presence. It’s only recently i became aware of the existence of these logitech pop switches. I figured – since they were on sale – i’ll try them out.
Nicely produced kit, though i think realistically a bit too expensive (especially as you’ll probably find yourself wanting a few. )works well with lifx, but does not support our wemo bulbs (basically if it requires the wemo hub it won’t work- but things like the wemo switch which are self contained do work). Shame, because i wanted something that would finally bring those two bits of tech together.
I didn’t think these would go well with my ha system, but thought i would give them a go. I was very surprised and very happy with them. Used in conjunction with samsung smartthings and hue, and you get 3 options for control via their app. So quite configurable to use with lights and scenes etc.
Buttons not as discreet as i would like and maybe not as clicky either. Bluetooth competitors are better in that regard. Wifi buttons are more reliable than bluetooth though. Product is not the cheapest but does what it claims to do relatively well.
I’ve been using these pop switches to control philips hue lights and most of the time they work perfectly. It seems like when they aren’t used for a while they stop working though, at least sometimes. Opening the app on my phone has resolved this issue so far, but it’s a bit of a pain when you’re trying to flick on a light as you come through your front door.
These work great and are especially useful if you have a non technical partner who doesn’t want to keep installing different apps of their phone to control different things. I have theses 2 setup on each side of our bed so that 1 press turns on reading lamp (wemo controlled), 2 presses turns on the hue lamp and a long press turns on the main light. It works great and i’ve had no issues with it at all.
Great buttons but wish they had the hub built ina solid year (2017) of accessories needing ‘hubs’ was horrific. March on 2018, the year of ‘direct connections, no hub needed’.
Frustrating setup issues with android app getting connected to the wifi. Once that was overcome setup of the button and assigning function was easy.
