> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayWe needed to remotely turn on lights while we were away. This product work perfectly with the ring camera system alarm kit.

> 3 dayIve 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.

> 3 dayWorks great! Easy setup to my existing network. Quickly put it on my automation schedule for the Christmas tree during the holidays.

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayWas very careful to install the product correctly and it just stopped working after less than 6 months…. Really difficult to figure out who to call for product support.

> 3 dayWe currently have Vivint as our home security/automation system (with which were quite pleased with both their hardware, software and customer service), and were in the process of looking at how to extend automation via Z-Wave. For us, integrating this device was beyond simple. I plugged the unit into the desired wall outlet (probably about forty feet away from the base panel -- and thats going through a couple of walls), turned the unit on by pressing the top button once, went to the panel and put it into installer mode so it could sense for Z-Wave devices. The panel found the device and assigned to the system appropriately. I then named the device and set some custom rules for it. So far, not one issue. Definitely recommend.

> 3 dayI have 3 of these controlling outside lights and a fountain. They work great with my Samsung Smart things hub. One issue... these are “outdoor” plugs. Which means the plug should be flat so you can close the cover on your “outdoor” electrical outlet. I mean, really???? So the cover doesn’t fully close Because of the plug and wire which could allow water in during a rainstorm or from sprinklers which then will trip your GFI. Seriously.... duh... please make this with a flat plug like I’ve seen with other “outdoor” devices and timers.... Hey GE, I’m here ready to be paid to do consulting work for you on your products... just let me know...

Greater than one weekI purchased this expecting that two wirelessly controlled grounded outlets meant two _independently-controllable_ outlets. It does not. It is not mentioned anywhere in the text of this products description (although it is in fine print in the images lower on the page), but the two outlets on this device are only able to be controlled together. This was definitely a frustration. That fact should have been made more clear in the products description or the name. 2018 Addendum: I see that now the product name and description both clearly mention that the outlets are controlled _together_, which is nice.

> 3 dayAfter quite a bit of research I bought a few of these to replace Wemo smart plugs. The Wemo’s kept disconnecting from wifi and often even went back into setup mode, which made them incredibly unreliable (Only devices on my network that kept disconnecting). I bought these only recently but they’ve been perfect. Setup took under a minute each and they seem to work great with my SmartThings hub (connected into Home Assistant). They aren’t as slim or sleek looking as the wemo’s, in fact they’re relatively on the large side. But having the plugs on the sides allows you to put furniture closer to the wall/socket, and despite their size I can easily connect bulky 3 prong plugs underneath them. Really happy with the purchase.
