Caleb Moffitt (verified owner) –
The product doesn’t work in Google Home. Shows only as a sensor. Not as a switch.
Hendi (store manager) –
Hi Caleb, in effect it is a ‘gate/ door position’ sensor and not a switch meaning it indicates or senses if the gate/door is open or closed. The unit simply ‘piggy-backs’ the same connections as your remote. Devices that actually switch (voltage) such as our 10A, 20A & 30A switches etc. show as a switch. Regards HenracTech Support
