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

I had a lot of issues with the GE zwave outlets and ultimately had to return them. This one is cheaper and I get two configurable outlets. I see past reviewers had issues with that but the device handler seems to be updated and working now. The only con I can think of is that the button on the device only toggles one outlet out of the two Lets see how long the IP65 lasts outside.

I love the use of voice technology, my wife is more old school. This fits the bill with easy to add to smart things, and has the manual button. If you need automation outside, that isnt permanent, and the ability to manually override, this the tool for the job.

I used a single channel EvaLogik plug and it worked fine, when I wanted to add a second lamp I purchased this 2 channel controller and it’s never worked properly. I can set it up with no issue but within 30 minutes it loses connection to the hub. Turning the switch on or off by using the button reconnects it to the z wave network for a while but the failure then recurs. I have tried excluding and re-adding the device multiple times and have done several z-wave network repairs but the device continued to fail. I exchanged it and the exact same situation occurred. I have several other z-wave devices, including some which act as repeaters, in the room right next to the outdoor location so I know that the z-wave network is strong enough to support the signal. Based on the behavior I am assuming that the power supply to the z-wave radio is erratic and fails to supply adequate current to the radio to maintain the connection. I am returning the second controller and will be replacing it with another brand.

Good to have 2 outlets but continued to drop connection to ZWAVE controller. Returned for refund.

I purchased this unit because I needed a right angle plug for the rain cover on my outdoor outlet. This unit looked like it had all the feature I wanted. When the product arrived I removed it from the box and found that the product did not match the photos. The product had a straight plug. I had to return the product.

Works well and reacts quickly to commands. Beware, if you are using an alarm system as your zwave controller— alarm-dot-com which is the backend for many alarm system companies, does not recognize multi node devices. On my 2gig this shows up as three different switches. The first two always act together and control the same outlet. The third switch controls the second outlet. The app only shows one switch, can’t control the second remotely. Product is good quality.

Super easy set up to SmartThings and Alexa app. It’s great to have two smart outlets as opposed to just 1 like other devices. Wonderful for outdoor holidays decorations! I’ve bought two and am thinking about buying more! I have 4 of these. They are great!

I would have given this device 5 stars, when I first set it up. However, I have learned to use something new for a while, before rating it. If it still works, great! Unfortunately, as in the case of this device, it worked for a while, and then started dropping off of the system - as you see in so many other reviews. Its too bad that it doesnt last longer than a couple of months. It was a great device, and a great value... until it started failing. Now its worthless.

Excellent for using as outdoor timer. I use it to turn fountain on in morning and off late evening instead of it running all night long! Also great for turning on and off Christmas lights/decorations.

I consider myself pretty good at smart home devices and have added dozens of device to Samsung Smartthings (SS) with no problems. But, for the life of me I could not get both of the outlets to show in SS. The second outlet was worthless when setting up my Christmas lights.
