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

Very easy to set up and it works flawlessly.

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

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

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.

I 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.

I didnt even order this thing!

I bought a Smart Dimmer Plug-In 2-Outlet Lighting Control to work with my Xfinity Home. Paired perfectly, worked with the app, and rules.

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!

Use 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!

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.
