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

I still have 2 of the first generation that function 100% perfectly with no issues. I bought 2 of the second generation but have only used one of them so far. I used the second generation one all last summer and it functioned fine except that every week or so, it would just stop responding and I had to unplug it and plug it back in to get it to work properly again. However, I never had that issue with the first generation even in the same location with the same application.

Love that it works so flawlessly with my adt pulse

Work great, use Ring Alarm and Alexa to control lights when not home.

The switch works good with my my Vera Z wave product. Used this to control my Christmas tree.

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.

Easy to pair, reliable connectivity.

I like this product a lot, but heaven help you if you get one that doesn’t play nicely with a Smarthings hub. You best bet is it exclude it, then reset to factory settings. I then found that holding the on button as I plugged it in did the trick. It’s also a bummer that it’s sold out in many places. Even though I’ve had a few bumpy installs, I like to stick to a consistent group of products to make troubleshooting and integration easy.

Rock solid switches! Works perfectly with Samsung Smart Things! Own 6 of these now. Super reliable and dont lose connections like the iHome Wi-Fi units I used previously. Just wish they were little smaller. Otherwise, great product!

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.

Ive always liked the Enbrighten Z-Wave controls, until this one. It works fine, its just difficult to install because the CORD IS TOO SHORT to plug-in to the waterproof electrical outlet and attached the switch to the wall facing down like the instructions describe. I cant believe they missed this design flaw.
