Anyone know why these are breaking?

    Any device that has moving parts will wear out at some point. These look like someone has been slapping those pretty good

      It’s inexcusable that these smart switches break like this after a few short years, when the traditional switches that they replaced were still undamaged or worn after decades of use. It infuriates me that the $3 switch can last decades but the $35-60 switch breaks after 3-5 years.

      New-a few months old. Light normal use. Two possibilities from other sources-

      1. Wires too tight pushing toggles out
      2. Box too small-cheaper version Never experienced this before!
