Outdoor Z-Wave Plus On/Off Light and Appliance Plug, Two On/Off Smart Outlet, Zwave Hub Required, Works with SmartThings, Wink, Alexa (ZW97)

Edited: The manufacturer has replaced the defective smart plug for me very quickly. I will most likely need to keep this plug completely covered in a waterproof box to save it from the elements I setup this smart outlet to run outdoor lights in my backyard. It worked well for 4 weeks but after normal outdoor weather the device stopped working. I unfortunately dont recommend this product unless youre using it indoors.

The biggest issue weve had came down to how do you turn on the 2nd outlet manually. The answer is double tap the power button. 100% user error. Its been rock solid from day 1.

I have a lot of z-wave devices on SmartThings as a reference and this device has the worst lag and z-wave reception range out of everything Ive seen! Whats more is that this is a powered device so there is no excuse for this poor z-wave reception quality. I have a battery powered Ecolink water leak sensor right beside it which can easily communicate directly to the hub with no lag but I had to install an outdoor z-wave repeater just for this switch. Even with the z-wave repeater, the lag between the on/off switching is incredibly long and I wouldnt use it for anything but occasional switching. You have to wait sometimes for 20-30 seconds for the device to respond to the switch request. The plug should have been 90 degrees instead of straight. The weight of the device tends to unplug it from the outlet. There is some really poor engineering in here. Otherwise yes it does work and it is weatherproof to a certain extent.

I had this paired with a Wink hub originally and now have gone to a combination Google Home and Samsung Smart things home. Had to reset it, which their support showed me how to do. I cant for the life of me get it in pairing mode. I have paired many devices and cant get this one to work. Support is not helpful. The video is not helpful either. It would be great to get a real person on the phone that could help. If you can get it to work then it works well, its when you have issues that it falls apart. They keep referring me to my original instructions which are long gone.

The connected easily to my Hubitat Elevation hub, and I can name and manage both receptacles separately. All for a great price. The only thing I do wish it had was a 90° plug, but I couldnt find any Z-wave devices that do.

I have Smartthings and close to 40 z-wave/zigbee devices. These were my favorites. They withstood harsh conditions in a security situation BUT, after a year and a half, I needed to change my network settings (never do that if you can avoid it) and spent a weekend excluding, removing, and reinstalling them all. I was able to do all them, except my 2 Eva Logiks. Factory resetting doesnt work like in the instructions, youtubes are in Chinese and product support is minimal. If they are even able to be reset, until I can get some product support, they are just expensive paper weights.

Couldnt get the app to control both outlets. Give up.

I have only just used this to control some outdoor Christmas lights, but so far so good. I really like the 2 outlet design, giving more specific control for 2 powered devices/plugs. We have had some sub-zero weather already, and the outlet continues to power on and off with my lighting schedule. The reliability has been spot on so far. Paired into Hubitat directly, using their native drivers with no problem. It does create 2 child devices off the single parent device. But each child is individually controllable.

Added to Hubitat without issue. It does what its supposed to reliably. Very pleased with this for the cost!

These are great on/off relays. One needs several units to form a mesh network to get good range. I have purchased several more now. They come also as a dual controlled outlet unit.
