Choosing smart home electronics gets easier when you separate two very different jobs: controlling lights and controlling entry. In this group, two products focus on switches and dimming, while two focus on keyless door access. The right pick depends less on a single "best" device and more on whether you need Alexa-linked light control, a GE add-on switch for a multi-switch setup, a keypad deadbolt, or a keypad door knob.
Quick take
- Best for no-wiring light control: Smart Wireless Dimmer Switch and Receiver Kit, NO Wiring, Work With Alexa. It is aimed at light control with a receiver, remote, app control, and Alexa voice control.
- Best for a GE multi-switch setup: GE Enbrighten Add-On Z-Wave Zigbee Switch White/Almond 12723 Not Standalone. The key phrase is "Not Standalone," so it makes sense only when paired with a compatible GE-branded smart control.
- Best keypad deadbolt choice here: ARPHA Smart Front Door Lock Set 100Code Electronic Keypad Deadbolt Keyless Entry. It emphasizes 100 user codes, anti-peeping password, one-touch lock, low battery alert, and mechanical keys.
- Best keypad knob choice here: Keyless Electronic Entry Door Knob, Keypad Smart Door Knob, Interior D. It is the highest-priced item in the set and is positioned around a keypad knob design for interior doors and similar spaces.

The spread runs from USD 15.91 to USD 47.79, with the lowest price sitting 67% below the highest price. The least expensive item is the GE add-on switch, while the keypad smart door knob is the highest-priced item.

Concise product notes
Smart Wireless Dimmer Switch and Receiver Kit, NO Wiring, Work With Alexa
This Nexete kit is the most direct fit for someone who wants light control rather than a door product. The title highlights NO Wiring and Alexa support, while the details center on a receiver, mini remote, wall plate, CR2032 battery, app control, remote control, and wireless operation. It also calls out brightness adjustment, which gives it a clearer dimming role than the GE add-on switch. The limitation is that its smart voice-control focus is specifically tied to Amazon Alexa, and its application is electrical wiring, electronics, and light control rather than entry control or a general-purpose smart-home accessory.
ARPHA Smart Front Door Lock Set 100Code Electronic Keypad Deadbolt Keyless Entry
ARPHA is the better match if you want a keypad deadbolt rather than a knob. Its strongest reason to choose it is the combination of 100 user codes, anti-peeping password, automatic relocking, one-touch lock, low battery alert, and included keys. The Universal/Reversible door handing also makes it more flexible than a product that only points to one handing direction. Its limitation is in the form factor: it is a front door lock set with an electronic keypad deadbolt, so shoppers who specifically want a keypad knob for an interior room should look at the YE LOCK product instead.
GE Enbrighten Add-On Z-Wave Zigbee Switch White/Almond 12723 Not Standalone
The GE Enbrighten add-on switch is the narrowest but clearest choice in the switch category. It is made for multi-switch configurations with GE-branded smart controls and is described around Z-Wave, ZigBee, and Bluetooth controls. The White & Light Almond color combination may also help if those finishes match existing wall plates. The reason to choose it is precision: it is not trying to be a universal remote kit or a lock. The limitation is equally important: Not Standalone appears in the title, and the description says it cannot be used as a standalone switch.
Keyless Electronic Entry Door Knob, Keypad Smart Door Knob, Interior D
The YE LOCK keypad knob is the pick when the desired shape is a door knob rather than a deadbolt. It is described with up to 8 changeable codes, anti-spy code encryption, automatic locking after opening for 3 seconds, backlit keys, a low power alert mode, and a backup battery port. The title also points to interior use, and the description mentions bedroom, study, garage, basement, and office scenarios. The limitation is the price position: at the top of this group, it asks more than the ARPHA keypad deadbolt and far more than either switch-focused option.
Final recommendation
For light control, choose based on whether you need an independent wireless kit or an add-on for an existing GE-branded smart-switch setup. The Smart Wireless Dimmer Switch and Receiver Kit, NO Wiring, Work With Alexa is the more complete light-control package in this group because it includes receiver-and-remote language, app control, wireless features, and Alexa-focused voice control. The GE Enbrighten Add-On Z-Wave Zigbee Switch White/Almond 12723 Not Standalone is the lower listed price at USD 15.91, but its "Not Standalone" role is the deciding constraint.
For door access, the choice is mostly deadbolt versus knob. The ARPHA Smart Front Door Lock Set 100Code Electronic Keypad Deadbolt Keyless Entry is the stronger price-conscious keypad entry pick here because it sits at USD 22.49 and includes 100 user codes, anti-peeping password, one-touch lock, low battery alert, and mechanical keys. Pick the Keyless Electronic Entry Door Knob, Keypad Smart Door Knob, Interior D only if the knob format and interior-door positioning matter more than staying near the lower end of the price range.
