GE Zigbee Dimmer Plug-In, 2-Outlet Lighting Control, Pairs Directly with Echo 4th Gen/Echo Show 10 (All)/Echo Studio/Echo Plus (All)/Eero Pro 6,, White, 45852GE

Great product - although a bit finicky to set up!

The GE Plug-in smart dimmer is exactly what I was looking for: an easy way to use existing or specialty bulbs (such as incandescent or LED based Edison style bulbs) alongside the rest of my connected bulbs using the Philips Hue bridge (its all ZigBee, it should work!). After cycling through every single wireless channel with attempted touch link and force pairings (even resetting the GE dimmer to factory defaults and trying again), I couldnt get it to link up to my system. Upon further research, I discovered the GE dimmer uses the Zigbee Home Automation protocol (version 1.2), while the Philips Hue system is only compatible with ZigBee Light Link (not sure what version). It is simply not compatible unless Philips upgrades their system to ZigBee 3.0 and implements the combined ZHA+ZLL protocol. I hear the hardware is compatible, its just up to them if they want to or not...and given their current stance on third party expansion, it seems unlikely to happen. Philips Hue users: look elsewhere, this wont work for you. Everyone else: no idea if itll work or not. Three stars for a lost evening of futile troubleshooting and poor clarity regarding what ZigBee compatible actually means.

Connects to SmartThings easily. I would prefer a single outlet dimmer but this one is double so it is large

I 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.

I should have looked and read the info more carefully. This will only allow control for a device that doesnt have a ground plug. The passthrough has it but the control side doesnt.

It 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!

Hooked it up to a table lamp with an Edison bulb and it works perfectly.

Great product and does exactly what I purchased it for (dimming light fixtures with ECHO).

First of all, I have upwards of 50 IOT devices so I am not new to this. I have numerous Jasco/GE switches and know the older models had an issue after a while. This plug didnt work right out of the box. Wouldnt link to hub and no relay click when pressing the manual button. Tried factory reset but doesnt do anything. Normally I get at least a year out of their older devices before they stop working.

Really like these GE controllers and dimmers. They work really well and pair with my Smartthings Hub very easily.
