SAMOTECH Light Switch Cover for TRADFRI Wireless Dimmer and Shortcut Button (SM215-TRD)

I've tried the standard 3D printed option to mount my Ikea Tradfri dimmer over existing switches and while functional those were not really great to look at. This one, in complete contrast, is fantastic and looks very professionally done. All white glossy finish, built in magnetic plate for the dimmer to snap to and a cool way to expose the underlying switch for emergency use. Comes complete with longer screws, washers, even a screwdriver! Fits very neatly over my existing switch. All for just 50p more than the standard 3D printed ones...definitely one to recommend.

Tried a few products for mounting an IKEA switch over an existing light switch and this one definitely works best and looks good too. It holds the switch in place firmly (magnetic) without obstructing the operation of the switch. Brought a couple more after trying one.

It does exactly what was needed hiding the switch from being switched off and adding my own smart switch. The unit is a little bulkier then I thought it would be, but the reason it's not 5 stars is it's a little tricky to install and when installed you get a slight bevel on one side. This might be the metal backboxes but no match what I try I can't avoid the very small bevel.

Brilliant! Comes with two longer than standard screws to replace the ones you took out, as well as a dinky little screwdriver. You do have to remove both screws before fitting which can make lining them up again a bit of a fiddle, but I got them in after a couple of tries. The slide-on part of the cover has a metal plate behind where the button goes, so it will accept the magnet on the button. SmartThings buttons go well on here, although they are a little smaller than the fitting was designed for. A button without a magnet I guess could be stuck on with blu-tak etc. Anyway, I am planning to buy more of these!

Bought a bunch of these to conceal our existing light switches in a large house, to allow the smart tech to function better. They fit easily over the switch plates. You take our the two existing screws and replace (usually) with the longer ones in the pack, placing the cover over the light switch first. There are a few spacing washers in the pack to allow for thicker and thinner wall plates. The box looks a little chunky on the wall, but not unsightly. It is a nicely finished white gloss plastic, unlike some other unprofessionally made products. It has a built in magnet to hold your tradfri button or tradfri shortcut button in place securely. The cover slides down to reveal the original light switch if you need access (for pairing etc). If you get the spacing wrong you can bend the interior slightly, which can loosen the sliding cover. Just add one of the washers to each side to correct this. These are good value for money and make a smart home more accessible to older homes.

Nice and simple, easy to fit. Of reasonable quality for what it is, well priced and for homes without a neutral running to the switch, probably the quickest and easiest way to turn a dumb lightswitch into a smart one. The cost of this cover, plus the Tradfri switch, is reasonable and stops my wife from turning the lights off at the wall. I will definitely be buying some more.

Perfect little item to cover a light switch and allow me to put an ikea shortcut button in its place. We have the switches that protrude from the wall so isn’t flush with this fitted which is a shame.. but that’s not a fault of the product. Definitely recommend and will be purchasing more for the whole house soon!

My review until today was: (Great product covers up the old switch and stops accidental power off’s. Even comes with the right screws and a mini screwdriver. 🪛) This was for the on off dimmer switch mount. Sadly today I received my mount for the tradfri remote and I was very disappointed. I don not recommend. The cover/mount does not have a built in magnet so you cannot attach your remote onto it. If you stick your mount that comes with the switch onto the cover it then works but this is annoying as the description does not mention this at all. Also, you are likely to have that stuck on a wall already and removing this may damage your paint. I still 100% recommend the on off switch mount as it is so slim and looks very sleek while also stopping other family members from switching off physical switch. However do not buy the round tradfri remote mount as you will be disappointed. If they had said in the description that you were required to provide your own magnet then fine but sadly they do not warn you.

Wie bereits in einer anderen Rezension hier von jemandem geschrieben, kann ich auch nur dazu raten, die Finger davon zu lassen. Für Lichtschalter in Deutschland die unterputz gelegt sind, passt diese Abdeckung definitiv nicht. Ich finde da sollte in der Produktbeschreibung ausdrücklich drauf hingewiesen werden.
