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

It did work great. Then at 4 months just died, no longer connects to my echo 2nd gens. Replaced with a Lutron plug.

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.

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!

Great product - although a bit finicky to set up!

The unit works, and still does, connected to Home Assistant, but it mad) has developed a nasty feedback whistle. Im guessing bad capacitor. Unfortunately I let the return window go by so Im stuck with it unless GE will replace it for me. Im using it for a small year round Christmas tree with 25 incandescent bulbs, so its definitely not a load issue, and theres nothing plugged into the non-switched side. My kids are complaining about the sound so it has to go.

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.

Doesnt dim all the way down on my 40W LEDs. Leaves them on slightly lit when on off setting.

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.

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