Logitech Pop Add-On Home Switch : not so much as far as connectivity

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.
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.
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.
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.
Brilliant, i use it with logitech harmony hub to switch on tv and lights etc.
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’.
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.
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.
  • Almost brilliant
  • Easy set up works with lifx LED strip
  • Usually works but a bit unreliable

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.
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.
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.
Frustrating setup issues with android app getting connected to the wifi. Once that was overcome setup of the button and assigning function was easy.
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.
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.
It works as phisical button insted of your wirtual button on your phone. Perfect for smart home swiches or panic button.
Great remotes at a fantastic ptice.
Not so much as far as connectivity.

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.
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.
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 😁👍.
