EATON Wiring RF9501DS Aspire Z-Wave Wireless Single Pole Switch, Desert Sand

When I first started buying these switches they were a much finer quality than the last ones (the ones I am reviewing now). The new switches, although they appear the same on the exterior, the click sound they emit when switching on/off is annoyingly cheap sounding and the feel of the switch when switching on/off also feels cheap. Maybe that is why the original place I was buying the switches stopped carrying them.

I received z-wave switches, what a steal! They do not have a top and bottom button, but rather a single button that is more of a toggle.

looks great - performs well

I put these in our home because I liked the design and the two toned colors. The look great in every room.

Works fine. Looks great!

As far as installation and aesthetics is concerned these are great. I’m a lot less enthusiastic about their quality, they’re manufactured with a pretty high content of polystyrene and put together slightly looser than the norm, so they give off that brittle click clack sound when flipped which I’m less enthusiastic about, but can live with.

The item I received is not as described. The Eaton RF9501DS Aspire Z-Wave Wireless Single Pole Switch, Desert Sand is not RF nor is it Z-Wave capable. This was tested by wiring the switch to a light and trying to connect to a Smartthings hub. After checking with other Eaton products the Z-Wave switch costs about $50.00. So just a heads up. Maybe some of you received something different than I did. Good luck.
