Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Easy to install. Works perfectly. Easily installed. Works as expected.

Pairs easily with my smartthings hub and integrates with alexa seemlessly. Took me a while to figure out which device to add through the app because the name of this device isn't explicitly listed. Not issues with connecting it to my wink hub.

Easier than rewiring a normal outlet. Only real complaint is the outlet has pigtails of braided wire. With the pigtails you now have wire nuts and larger outlet to fit into the box.

Two small 1) they make a pretty loud clunk noise when turning on or off (relay opening or closing), and 2) they can be a bit slow to respond. Just added this to my alarm.



Cons

The outlet is obviously electrical and a potential fire hazard. Router and veralite controller are within 12' of the outlet. Far better to get the schlage z-wave home appliance module.

This thing is super flakey. It was designed by a * clam.

It randomly switches between off and on. Even with resetting my power 2 of the 3 failed to reset. Tried to reset and pair the device again but wouldn't allow a reset nor connect to the hub.
