Superb Technical Support rewarding a loyal customer
I called Technical Support on Wednesday morning because a (non approved) bulb had caused an issue with my lightswitch.
Eve quickly diagnosed the problem had been called by the failed bulb, which had unfortunatley damaged my 5 year old switch. She helpfully got me a contribution towards the replacement switch and agreed with me to upgrade it to a 4 gang (from 3G) for an "all on/off" automation.
She also suggested I fit a relay to one of the other circuits to be operated by the new switch.
Eve then sent me a link for everything I needed to make ordering & payment as simple as possible for me and even took the trouble to send me links to help install the relay. This was very thoughtful as it needed a bit of head scratching to understand the wiring from the switch to the relay.
Thursday lunchtime my parcel arrived and it was all quickly installed and working again. So I was without Lightwave in my kitchen for less than 36 hours and now have a better, relayed install.

Hi Martin,
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed and thoughtful review.
The team are delighted to hear that Eve was able to quickly diagnose the issue and guide you through the best solution, including the upgrade and relay setup. It’s great to know that everything was explained clearly, from ordering through to installation, and that you were back up and running again so quickly.
Your feedback about the turnaround time and the improved setup is especially appreciated, and your kind words have been passed on to Eve.
Thank you again for your continued support.
Kind regards,

I was having trouble with my WiFi TRVs and thermostat. TRVs were calling for heat but thermostat was not responding and switching on the boiler. I contacted LightWave support through their app and received an email response from Dylon the same day. He quickly identified the issue (a problem with my app settings) and fixed it immediately over the internet. He also sent me a recording of what he had changed within the app for my future reference. Excellent support and super fast. Thanks Dylan

Excellent support from Dylan
Inherited some Lightwave gear with my new house but couldn’t link the hub to my account. I contacted support and Dylan fixed the 'device already belongs to a location' error in no time. Really impressed with the quick turnaround.

Emailed for support with a couple of sockets that wouldn't update. Support replied the next day and was able to understand the issue and advise the solution immediately. Very good service. Only critique would be that since this was a known issue it should be flagged in the various manuals. But all good and products work very reliably.

Good, intuitive app, fast and effective tech support
A Lightwave switch seemed to stop working after 14 months. I was reluctantly going to buy a replacement until I opened a chat with tech support who quickly diagnosed the problem, sorted it out remotely, and had it working again the same day. Saved me £100. Delighted.

They cost a lot but are generally great devices that can be life changing for customers with mobility issues. However, the moment you attempt to get a switch working 2 way, you're going to wish you'd spent money on a different system completely. The instructions and even when explained to you, it just doesn't work.
