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

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.

Works as expected. Would be good to have proper instructions for pairing with Echo Plus, but once I figured it out, it works well.

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!

I bought this device with the intention of being able to remotely dim two table lamps on either side of my living room couch, but didnt realize only one outlet is ZigBee controlled, while the other is a straight-through always-on outlet. I wound up buying a similar device by Enbrighten that does state both outlets are ZigBee controlled and dimmable (albeit not independently). Something else to note is that this device (and my replacement by Enbrighten) are both rebranded JASCO units, who is also a name brand in this market.

The install was simple and straightforward, linked right up to my SmartThings hub. However, the connected lights don’t turn off fully when the switch is off, they stay on at around 1% brightness though the app shows the switch is off, even if the physical button is pressed. Anything above 89% causes the lights to flicker then switch back to 1% brightness. Tried different lights and circuits with the same result. Obviously broken out of the box. Returned for a different model.

Was able to get it synced with a Samsung hub and give it commands but it did not work with suitable LEDs that do dim properly on a manual lamp dimmer.

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

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.

This dimmer works great with incandescent bulbs, but I wanted to use it with a string of LED bulbs. When plugged in to this dimmer the LEDs would never fully turn off! When the switch was off, the LEDs would still glow faintly.

I bought this to replace some old X10 dimmer plugs that I have connected to 100W equivalent LED bulbs (Philips). The X-10 module dims the bulb perfectly, but this does not. If I command this to dim the bulb I get flickering or nothing. Very disappointing since it says it works with dimmable LED bulbs and the bulbs do dim correctly with the old cheap X10 powerline communicating units I am trying to phase out. I them found out it couldnt do two 100 watt equivalent led bulbs but it is working with one. Why it didnt work initially with the one 100 watt equivalent across the room I dont know. Kind of annoyed I need one for each fixture, but they are fine now.
