(US) Ecolink Battery Operated Smart Switch Cover, No Wiring Required
@ajpri is working on a device type handler for this new device. It fits over an existing switch, but is a different form factor then the gocontrol and Sylvania covers. In particular, it looks like the toggle physically moves so that it is in the up position for on in the down position for off which I know a lot of people have been asking for.
Unlike the Switchmate, which is just held in place with magnets, this one does require removing the old face plate and then screwing this device in its place.

Also available in a rocker model, although that one seems to be harder to find:
Discussion in the following thread:
Note that unlike the go control smart switch cover and the Sylvania smart switch cover, this one should not be used over a Switch that controls the current to smart bulbs as it is going to physically activate the original switch underneath the cover and cut the current to the bulbs. You don’t want to do that for a switch for smart bulbs which is used frequently because when the switch is turned on again, the inrush current can damage the radio in the smart bulbs overtime. So use this one with dumb bulbs, and one of the other two for smart bulbs.
For any follow-up comments or questions on switches for smart bulbs, please use the following thread:
We want to keep this thread just to one or two posts per button device. Thank you.
