Greater than one weekI 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.

> 3 dayThis product does not work. I’ve attempted to use two now, having replaced the first after it repeatedly burned out bulbs in a lamp. From testing the output when on, the first unit delivers a highly variable current which caused flickering and burn out. A second unit leaked current and the light was still illuminated when off. I would avoid and go for an alternative product if you can.

> 3 dayThis paired and worked with Home Assistant easily. Used an incandescent bulb the dim function is fine. Used my dimmable led under the counter lights they flicker. Im very unsatisfied with the dimmable function of this product.

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayIt pairs easily with Alexa via zigbee router. That was the easy part. The dimmer is completely inconsistent. Im not sure the developers even tested this. I tried to get it to work with dimmable LED string lights. Dont waste your time.

Greater than one weekTried 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.

> 3 dayI 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.
