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

Im running my home automation via a Smarthings hub. This switch was painless to discover and integrate (which is more than I can say for many other devices in the array). Functionality is terrific. Plug any old light into it, and you can control/dim the same way you would a smart bulb.

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.

Easy to install. Works well. Good as an extender for Vera.

I know I shouldve read the description closer but I bought this without having a hub and it worked as a switch but did not have the ability to dim. Once I upgraded my Amazon Echo 1st gen to a 4th gen (which acts as a hub) it works great. The bulb and lamp I bought were just too bright for my current room. The dimmer allows me to put it to 50% and its perfect.

Tried two of these GE plugs with the same results. They connected with Smartthings easily, but would not completely turn off LED lights, leaving them with a dim glow. Returned both and purchased Leviton DZPD3-2BW Decora Smart Plug-in Dimmer with Z-Wave which work great with LED lights.

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!

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.

This product is garbage. I didnt have an issue connecting it to my echo but the damn plug stopped working after the third day of use. Do not waste your money on this garbage.

It 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!

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.
