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

Does Not work with ADT

I will first state that this is my second GE outdoor Z-Wave switch, I also own the Gen 1 model as well. Similarities between Gen 1 and Gen 2: 1. Lets just start with this. Either model will just work and work well, Ive had no issues. They easily connected to my Hubitat hub. They are both obviously outside and so not exactly super close to my Hubitat hub but Ive never had an issue with them losing connection or not working. 2. They both have physical on/off buttons Why is Gen 2 better then Gen 1: 1. Smaller 2. Includes the ability to mount to something 3. Removes the stupid rubber plug cover Gen 1 has that is literally useless Connecting to Hubitat hub and usage: I had no problems connecting this to my Hubitat hub. I plugged it in near the hub, Hubitat picked it up right away and it was added. From there I added it to my controls and processes and it just works flawlessly. Theres nothing really more to say about this product, its a simple outdoor Z-wave plug. It just works and doesnt add complication. If you are looking for a outdoor Z-wave plug to control things like lights, holiday lights or decorations or similar this should be high on your list. Others products might be cheaper or have 2 plugs instead of just one (I saw a few when looking for a second plug) but I went with this one out of a little fear those other generic name brand plugs might cause me more of a headache in the end by giving me issues with my hub, disconnections or not always responding to commands. I cant tell you if that fear is warranted, I can tell you this is my second GE Z-wave outdoor plug and Ive used Gen 1 for over a year and now Gen 2 through this years holidays with no issues to speak of. My Hubitat hub automatically knew what this device was and used the GE Enbrighten Z-Wave Smart Switch driver that Hubitat has built in, no need to use the generic driver or add a driver. I am currently running Hubitat v2.2.4.158. When I originally added the Gen 1 plug last year Hubitat did not have this specific GE driver and instead used the generic plug driver, which also worked just fine so you should be set either way.

Works well. Easy set-up with Smart-Things Hub.

Works great with SmartThings. No more running outside to manually turn the lights on and off.

Works great, never have trouble controlling this device with SmartThings

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 purchased several of these when I first started using home automation. They are easy to install, even if you are new to z-wave like I was. I like that they are still functional after a power outage...some brands lose z-wave function if the power is interrupted and you have to physically be present to repair the z-wave network....these come right back online, which is huge when you are using them remotely for a vacation home or if you are on vacation and the power goes out. I use then with both an IQ panel and a smart things hub at two different locations.

It is advertised to work with Logitech Harmony Hub but it doesnt. I wish it would. It waste a waste of time trying this switch to get to work with my Harmony Hub. False advertising! Update: bought the Harmony Home Hub Extender and a GE ZigBee switch and that combination worked perfectly. I now can control this switch thru my Harmony Elite Remote and even include this switch to any activity.

Works great with zwave for controlling outdoor Christmas lights

We purchased this item back in late 2017 but never installed it - until recently (January 2022). After 3 months it started making a constant clicking noise - like a relay closing and opening again - very loud and noticeable. Our Z-Wave controller also shows the switch as offline. Reset or re-integration with Z-Wave isnt possible and clicking noise persists. Cannot recommend.
