Generic or no-brand smart switch reviews

When it comes to smart home devices, there are a variety of brands and options available on the market. One option that may catch your eye is the generic or no-brand smart switch. These products, which are certified in Australia and New Zealand, usually backed by popular cloud platforms.

Define Generic or no-brand

Generic smart products are defined as those that do not offer customized applications and instead rely on popular platforms for their cloud controls. For instance, SmartSetup solely relies on HomeKit, while other products use platforms such as Tuya, which provide cloud control through their Smart Life and Tuya Smart apps. These generic or no-brand products offer an affordable alternative to their branded counterparts, making them an attractive option for budget-conscious consumers.
