120V/60 Hz power is standard in residential homes in the USA and Canada.
Orro does not rely on WiFi to make lighting decisions. However, the
Switch must be connected to WiFi for setup, app based remote control,
enabling certain features, and getting updates.
Orro Switches are only intended to control lighting xtures. They are not
designed to control other appliances such as fans or vents. Furthermore,
Orro Switches are not intended to replace dual purpose switches such as
combined bathroom fan/vent and light switch, or a lighted ceiling fan.
