> 24 hourFirst thing out of the box I noticed this wasnt going to work without a short extension cord. The socket ground side is the same as the screw anchor so this wont allow wall attachment. Your plug must come straight out to allow use and if you have two outlets in use you will not be able to have any large wall wart or angled plugs. Therefore order a pair of short heavy duty extensions when ordering this device. Setup with home automation hub is simple, but I have no remark for the built-in program process as I didnt have to manually install. Only other remark is the port numbers should be brighter so one can see them more easily.

> 24 hourProduct was easy to pair with my smartthings hub and works as expected. I only gave 4 stars because I believe I was sent a used product. But it works and I do not have any issues with the outlet.

> 24 hourThis is what I was looking for to be able to control two outside devices from one device. It works perfectly with my Hubitat Hub.

> 24 hourThe 2 z-wave plug version does not have a flat plug unlike the one z-wave/one always on version. This was necessary for me since my outdoor plug enclosure will not close with a plug that sticks out.

> 24 hourI have a lot of z-wave devices on SmartThings as a reference and this device has the worst lag and z-wave reception range out of everything Ive seen! Whats more is that this is a powered device so there is no excuse for this poor z-wave reception quality. I have a battery powered Ecolink water leak sensor right beside it which can easily communicate directly to the hub with no lag but I had to install an outdoor z-wave repeater just for this switch. Even with the z-wave repeater, the lag between the on/off switching is incredibly long and I wouldnt use it for anything but occasional switching. You have to wait sometimes for 20-30 seconds for the device to respond to the switch request. The plug should have been 90 degrees instead of straight. The weight of the device tends to unplug it from the outlet. There is some really poor engineering in here. Otherwise yes it does work and it is weatherproof to a certain extent.

> 24 hourIm using this to control outdoor holiday lights in my SmartThings home automation setup. Setup was easy, and it shows up as two separate switches in ST, each independently controllable. The cord could perhaps be a bit longer, but I appreciate that each plug has a rubber cover if you did not have a plug in each. This was used last year, and put away in January. When I pulled it out of storage this season and plugged it in, it reconnected flawlessly back to my ST hub.

> 24 hourGreat concept with 2 controllable outlets, but absolutely terrible device. I have no idea how this has anything above a 2 star rating. I purchased 2 of these devices. Each one was placed within 30 feet of a z wave 700 series (extended range) device and only 2 hops from my hub (also 700 series). I have a strong a wave network. They worked fine for a couple of days, but then started failing about daily. I didnt have them on a demanding schedule either--just on and off once per day. I replaced them with a different (but single outlet) device and it worked well. These are garbage--stay away and dont be fooled by these skewed reviews.

> 24 hourIm using these on my Edison Style string lights over my backyard. Its a standard switch with few interesting modifications. I am working with a Smartthings system that runs a combination of Z-Wave and Zigbee products. The first of these units I received didnt work reliably after the initial addition of the product. I requested a replacement and received a replacement in 2 days. Great customer service, decent product (despite the initial issue).
