> 24 hourI 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.

> 24 hourIt 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!

> 24 hourIt pairs easily with Alexa via zigbee router. That was the easy part. The dimmer is completely inconsistent. Im not sure the developers even tested this. I tried to get it to work with dimmable LED string lights. Dont waste your time.

> 24 hourI returned the two units as I did not want to add another hub to my Echo system. The requirement for a special hub is easily overlooked when purchasing and not common to many of todays Echo east to connect appliances.

> 24 hourDid not work properly with my HAI / Leviton Zigbee 3.0 81A00-3 hub. It would send the proper on & off statuses back to the hub when I pressed the manual button on the device, but it would not accept on & off commands from the hub so no remote control, which is what I purchased it for! Got Levitons plug in Zigbee module and was up and running in 3 minutes. All on and all off still didnt work with my Omni IIe, but you can fix that by adding a programming line when all off turn all 16 Zigbee modules off. This GE module is going back to Amazon!

> 24 hourI 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.

> 24 hourUse with alexa with no issues, dims lights well and works very quickly via alexa. And one of the easiest set ups without needing to download more crap apps!

> 24 hourThis product does not work. I’ve attempted to use two now, having replaced the first after it repeatedly burned out bulbs in a lamp. From testing the output when on, the first unit delivers a highly variable current which caused flickering and burn out. A second unit leaked current and the light was still illuminated when off. I would avoid and go for an alternative product if you can.
