Introduction
As smart home technology advances, many homeowners face a dilemma: they want the convenience of automation but are reluctant to replace existing wiring or invest in expensive smart bulbs. LeeshIon’s LS-BS Smart Switch, powered by Tuya’s WIFI ecosystem, provides an ideal solution by enabling smart lighting upgrades without rewiring or high costs.
This case study examines how the LeeshIon LS-BS transformed a traditional home into a smart home, offering voice control, scheduling, and remote access—all while preserving existing light fixtures.
The Challenge: Smart Home Upgrades Without High Costs or Hassle
Many homeowners hesitate to adopt smart lighting due to:
❌ High costs of replacing all bulbs with smart alternatives.
❌ Complex installation requiring professional electricians.
❌ Incompatibility with existing switches and wiring.
❌ Limited functionality (e.g., smart bulbs lose control when the wall switch is turned off).
The LeeshIon LS-BS Smart Switch solves these issues by retrofitting traditional switches into smart ones, eliminating the need for bulb replacements or rewiring.
The Solution: LeeshIon LS-BS Smart Switch with Tuya WIFI
The LS-BS is a direct replacement for traditional switches, offering:
✅ No Rewiring Needed – Fits standard wall boxes (single-pole or 3-way).
✅ Voice Control – Works with Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit.
✅ Remote Access – Control lights via the Tuya Smart App from anywhere.
✅ Automation & Scheduling – Set timers (e.g., "Sunset Lights On").
✅ Energy Monitoring – Track electricity usage per switch.
✅ Affordable Pricing – 60% cheaper than replacing all bulbs with smart LEDs.
