Our vision is to put customers at the heart of smarter living with the ability to control all home electronic appliances including lighting, blinds, dimmers and timed power switches with a single touch of a Smartphone.

Voltex Smart Touch’s innovation goes beyond lights and switches. Users can now control and personalize the entire home remotely from our app’s secure dashboard by connecting light switches and devices to our central unit-hub for complete control and personalization.
We want to change the world by making a fully flexible, intuitive and affordable smart home a reality.

Ratings and Reviews
Good, but room for improvement
I recently installed the hardware throughout my entire house and look to make extensive use of the features. I chose this over Sonoff and others because of the inbuilt ability to dim lights. And the hardware looks premium and can work without a Neutral wire. The app has a nice feel and interface and is relatively easy to set up and use, compared to some others. It has a few other nice touches and features built in.
However there are still a few important app bug fixes required: e.g. you cannot practically modify an existing scenario. You appear to be able to add/remove switches but you cannot specify whether they will be on/off/dimmed/etc so this is effectively non-functional. Result is that the only way to modify a scenario is to remove and set it up from scratch each time.
Renaming or changing of areas appears to be possible but doesn’t actually work for all but the top area in the list. This means if you decide to change areas you have to basically remove all affected switches and re-add them from scratch. Very tedious.
A scenario (eg sleep/stay) can only be paired to one button, which means for each button you want to link to the scenario, you have to set up a new instance of that scenario, which makes no sense. If you ever want to modify how that scenario works, you have to remove and Re-setup each and every instance of that scenario from scratch and repair all the related buttons one by one. There are other issues too, but these are some key ones...
I hope the developers see and incorporate this feedback as it would make some massive usability improvements to the system (which is after all driving my whole house and day to day experience)
