> 3 dayI have a floor lamp with 5 arms and dimmable bulbs. After moving I could not find the dimmable remote I had been using so purchased this one. Two issues buyers should be aware of: 1 - It always flickers if set to 100%, but is fine at 95%, and there is no range adjustment as with some wall mounted units I have from another company. 2 - Setting it to low values, like 2% for use as a night light, doesnt work as it did with the dimmer I cannot find. 5% works reliably but is a bit brighter than I want so I found after leaving it set to 5% for a few minutes I can lower to 3% and get reasonable results. Setting directly to 3% for some reason does not work. As a retired electronics systems designer I know this is about design and component tolerances. Once I find the original switch I will swap this one out and use it elsewhere where the brightness issues are not a problem.

> 3 dayGreat up to 95% brightness, over 95% it flashes and freaks out. Other than that, easy Alexa set up and NO 3rd party apps to worry about. I recommend only if you have a very lite load attached.

> 3 dayI do not have the patience. I use it as a manual dimmer. Or rather I did until a power surge seems to have taken that functionality away

> 3 dayIt took me some time to finally find a video walking me through setup with Alexa and my echo plus. Once I did it took one minute. It works so well! I can adjust the power and the brightness on my phone or by asking Alexa. It’s just what I was looking for!

> 3 dayThe description of this product leads one to believe that it will, on its own, work with Alexa. This is mostly not true. I say mostly because, like so many others writing about this device on Amazon, one month later, the device stopped working and would never again connect to Alexa. Further research lead me to purchase a SmartThings hub... it worked and was able to use the SmartThings Alexa skill to control the GE dimmer. However, if I knew that I needed to buy, and configure, another hub (at cost of $119), I never would have purchased this device.

> 3 dayIt is great because there is no app needed so set up is easy. There is also a non switched plug on the other side which has been very helpfull!
