Enbrighten Z-Wave Plus Smart Outdoor Switch, 1-Outlet Plug-In (2nd Gen.), Weather-Resistant, Works with Alexa, Google Assistant, for Landscape & Seasonal Lighting, ZWave Hub Required, 14298,Black

No issues pairing it to SmartThings. The newer way of adding a device by scanning a QR is nice. No issues controlling the outlet once paired.

As the headline says: It has a power button on top. Its very hard to see it. If you dont press the button - you cant pair it to the controller. Once I figured out the damn button, it was easy to pair and worked fine with my smart things controller gen 1.

I dont use many Zwave type switches but ADT will only interface with Zwave. These connected to my ADT alarm system immediately. I like the form factor better than the plugin modules and theyre weather resistant to boot.

I have over 25 z-wave devices in my home connected to Alexa. Either directly through Alexa or via an Alexa Skill (SmartThings, Phillips Hue, Arlo). This is the first GE Enbrighten device I have purchased. It is connected to both SmartThings Apps. However, it does not connect to Alexa. Thus, no need for me to keep. I will try again tomorrow and if I cant get it to work I will have to work. If COVID-19 wasnt around I could probably call customer service to see if they can assist. Unfortunately, that is not an ootion and I dont have the patience to wait until this pandemic is over. I need something now.

Works as expected. Connected by ZWave via Alarm.com. *****Had to plug appliance to female end of device for device to pair up with ZWave hub******

I always seem to need more of these switches around the holidays as we put up more electrical decorations. I add these switches to my ADT Pulse security system and have it turn on/off the lights according to the schedule I set.

Love that it works so flawlessly with my adt pulse

When will I learn. Ive used other GE SmartThings compatible devices before, switches, indoor/outdoor outlets mostly. Sometimes they connect right away sometime they take multiple repeated attempts, and in the case of this device, it never was recognized by my SmartThing hub. My recommendation is to stay away from GE devices , I tried this one in desperation, its the only device of this type I could find for my desired use. Other Z-Wave compatible brands have been excellent, they just dont carry the variety of devices I need, come on Samsung, get some devices on the market!

These are great, easy to install and super easy to use. Im not a fan of voice commands so know nothing about alexa integration. I use mine with a d link

I have ordered 14 of these units since I first set up our smart hub in 2016 (we have a lot of accent lights) but I am replacing them all now one by one as they fail. Sometimes it is a power outage other times there is no reason - they just fail and then click on and off incessantly (which has to be great for the appliances I have plugged into them). Besides this GE brand, we have many other brands and types of smart plugs (inovelli, Gosund, HAOZEE) and none of them have failed since 2016. Additionally, I ordered the dimming version of this switch with separate controls for each of the two outlets and it wasn’t recognized by my smart hub (the inovelli dual separate switch has no problem with the hub). I really like design and for the most part they usually connect pretty easily (although I have had the problems others have had). I wish the inovelli was still available because the design works so well behind furnishings and with cord management. Unfortunately, due to my historical experience I would avoid the GE product.
