The GE switches don't have their own wires and therefore have a better chance of fitting in your wall
3 Stars
The GE switches don't have their own wires and therefore have a better chance of fitting in your wall
It works, but it is very deep...1 5/16". I have it connected to 10 incandescent and CFL bulbs in my front yard. I can't fit it into my wall and I've left it hanging out. I tried trimming some of the wires inside the wall to make more space, but it still won't fit. Not sure what I'm going to do. It also has very wide "wings" on it. If I can manage to fit it into the wall, I'm going to have to cut off the left "wings" so it won't interfere with the other switch I have in the same box. The GE switches don't have their own wires and therefore have a better chance of fitting in your wall. You just take your existing wires and connect to the GE switch.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best value in Z-Wave light switches.
Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2018
Verified Purchase
The best value in Z-Wave light switches. We have about 30 of these installed in our house running lights that use as little as 10 watts all the way up to the switch maximum of 500 watts. They have been reliable (we have a few that have been installed for over 5 years), easy to install, and work really well. Dimming quality is very good with even dimming on most bulbs. We have ran into a few bulbs that dim in "steps" with this switch but I think it was the bulb not the switch. They have reliably connected to our zwave network and stay connected.

On the negative side:
The size of the switch could be an issue if you have very tight boxes.
A neutral wire is required, this isn't really a negative but could be an issue so make sure you have a neutral wire.
These switches are easy to "kill" if your wiring has a short in it. We had an issue where an electrician did not turn the breaker off to install a light fixture, they inadvertently shorted two wires, the breaker tripped but the light switch died as well. ( I assume we went past the 500w limit)
Some people get confused by the green led light on the switch at first but get used to it over time.
The color of the plastic isn't always a "perfect" match with the cover plates, or even with other GoControl switches.
The instructions claim 3 additional functions with single/double/triple clicking, but the actual switch only has on/off and dimming with no other functions. (Yes I did read all the fine printed instructions.)

Are there better z wave switches on the market? Yes, but for my money this one is the leader.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works perfectly, if you KNOW what your doing.
Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2014

This functions perfectly with the ADT Pulse System. Allows for full dimming capability. But please read the side notes.

This is the EXACT same switch as Evolve LRM-AS 120 (Evolve rebrands these, so save money, and buy Linear version).

Before installation what you need to know. You need a ground, you need a neutral feed. This will not work with a two wire switch (black in, black out). Without the neutral feed this will not function (Z wave needs neutral to trickle power). So before you buy it, know your home. You must have 2 black wires, and 1 white wire to use this. Also a ground is highly advised so you don't burn up your switch. If you have no ground wire you risk loosing this device.

Installation on Pulse System. This is really really easy. Just like the Evolve and GE Jasco Switches, simply put the system in to search mode. Then push the on button, thats it. One simple push of the top rocker sends out a "capture" signal so to speak. The same as GE and Evolve switches.

This works with ANY load. I have one of these running a single 4watt LED bulb, and it dims and functions fine. No minimum load required.

This allows for 3 way switching without the traveler wire. If you have a 3 way switch, and its currently set up with a traveler wire DO NOT HOOK IT INTO THIS SYSTEM. Simply tuck it out of the way for further future use if needed. You can "Teach" these switches to 3 way without them touching (benefits of z-wave). Say your outside light switch is by the front door. But you want to add another one in the garage that controls (dims) the outside lights. You can do this wirelessly without the need of a traveler wire. You can also do things like, add one of these under a water proof cover on a back deck, that would allow dimming of outside lights without going in the house. Or even dimming with the ADT pulse voice app.

So here is the drawback of this system, currently. ADT Pulse app and browser login only allow dimming by percentages of 10. (10-20-30%). HOWEVER, ADT Pulse Voice allows anything you want. 1% ,14%, 88%. Any variable is allowed but ONLY WITH ADT PULSE VOICE APP. So if you want an exact dimming percentage you must use voice app. If your ok with variables of 10 the standard app and web browser will do this.

1.0 out of 5 stars Second tier product at best.
Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2015

Let me just start by saying that in the past I have mainly purchased GE z-wave switches. I have about a dozen throughout my house currently. I buy them over time in hopes that I can switch out all the switches in my house with z-wave. At the time of purchasing these they happened to be a cheaper option that made it a little easier to bite the bullet and buy 3 at once. Lets just say, there's a reason why these are cheap than the GE switch.

The feel of the switch mechanism and overall material quality feels poorer than the GE switches. I would say everything about the GE switch z-wave version is far superior. It doesn't stop at feel either. Recently one of my switches paddles started to unhinge from the base. Unfortunately I'm past my 30 day Amazon return. So I contacted the manufacture Nortek and got a less than stellar response in regards to receiving a replacement. They told me to send them back the switch for evaluation and they would let me know if they would replace it or not. I told them that I had disposed of the original switch and that removing the switch to send it in would leave without kitchen lights and asked if there were any other options. Their response seemed canned. "send use that part with this RMA number and we'll evaluate a replacement". That was it. No, "Our policy requires an evaluation first. I'm sorry if this imposes an inconvenience." Whoever is in charge of their product returns/warranty needs to learn some common courtesies. First rule in business customer service is that the customer is always right. It's not my fault I received a faulty product. I don't live in a frat house where I abuse my residence. They could have asked me to send them a photo of the faulty product or find a way to have me pay for a replacement that they send out first and then reimburse me once they had made their "evaluation" on the returned product.

This will be the last time I buy one of their switches.

Amazing switches and pair nicely with my wink hub.... very easy to use. Only issue I had was installing into a two gang box side by side ... there are some tabs on the switch that you must break off but nowhere in the instructions does it reference this. Also pairing was weird and I’m not really sure how I did it but they are both currently paired and working great. Love the ability to airgap the fixtures if I want to work or change them.

Debería tener opción para seleccionar el color, solo se ofrece la opción de adquirir un kit para el cambio de color que cuesta la mitad del valor del producto, al cambiar de color te quedas con las cubiertas de color blanco que reemplazaste inutilizadas.
Terminales de tornillo para las conexiones es una característica que deberían agregar en el futuro.
Por lo demás el producto funciona bien después de mas de un año de uso, lo recomiendo ampliamente.

The dimmer rocks on two small plastic tabs on either side. After a year or so of use a tab will break off effectively ruining the dimmer, this has happened on 6/8 that I own. Reached out to company directly if they sell replacements (I like the product for its ZigBee, I want to support the business), no response. It's effectively and junk if you can't repair it. These dimmers were about 50$ each at the time, a significant investment that's been wasted. Don't waste your time.

Easy installation, easy to pair with my Wink 2 hub, and has been connected for 2 months without any issues. The fact that comes with about 3 inches of each cable for installation makes it easy to install.

High quality, and great price, highly recommended.
