Wall intelligent switch, wireless intelligent switch and switch mounting frame

The present application provides a wall intelligent switch, a wireless intelligent switch and a switch mounting frame, wherein the wall intelligent switch comprises a housing, a detection member, a wireless communication module, a reset portion and at least one key; the reset acting force cooperates with a first rebound force of the detection member so that when the key is at the first pressing position, the reaction force is F1; when the key is pressed from the first pressing position to the second pressing position, the reaction force of the key jumps from F1 to F2, where F2<F1<400 g; and the difference between the displacement of the key at the first pressing position and the displacement at the second pressing position is 2 mm. This enables the keys to give clear feedback to the user while improving the smooth degree of pressing.
