Outdoor Z-Wave Plus On/Off Light and Appliance Plug, Two On/Off Smart Outlet, Zwave Hub Required, Works with SmartThings, Wink, Alexa (ZW97)

I used a single channel EvaLogik plug and it worked fine, when I wanted to add a second lamp I purchased this 2 channel controller and it’s never worked properly. I can set it up with no issue but within 30 minutes it loses connection to the hub. Turning the switch on or off by using the button reconnects it to the z wave network for a while but the failure then recurs. I have tried excluding and re-adding the device multiple times and have done several z-wave network repairs but the device continued to fail. I exchanged it and the exact same situation occurred. I have several other z-wave devices, including some which act as repeaters, in the room right next to the outdoor location so I know that the z-wave network is strong enough to support the signal. Based on the behavior I am assuming that the power supply to the z-wave radio is erratic and fails to supply adequate current to the radio to maintain the connection. I am returning the second controller and will be replacing it with another brand.

Ive had a difficult time connecting this device to my home Z-Wave network. Works okay now but loses connection sporaticly.

I used this zwave switch to operate my outdoor Christmas lights this year, worked flawlessly. My switch sat on the porch out of the weather but cold temperatures didn’t seem to affect it. I’m not sure how well it would hold up out in the rain and snow. Connected to Smartthings quick and easy. I only wish, instead of having one plug switched and one plug on all the time, they were both switched independently. Overall I’m happy with it.

Super easy set up to SmartThings and Alexa app. It’s great to have two smart outlets as opposed to just 1 like other devices. Wonderful for outdoor holidays decorations! I’ve bought two and am thinking about buying more! I have 4 of these. They are great!

Performs as expected and setup we easy using Smarthings hub and Alexa

Compared to other smart devices, this one is a bit difficult to set up. Granted that it may be due to my cumbersome hub the Wink. I bought two of these and could never get the second one to connect. Returned it. The one I kept has worked without fail for about a month now, it was just difficult to connect.

Extremely easy to set up!

I have a pond fountain and accent lighting that I need to add to my automation. This duplex was Ideal to allow me to still have an available outlet outside for other uses. My Automation is ADT Pulse and it added and worked perfectly. (I was not sure that it would work with ADT, but I was pleasantly surprised)

Testing of this device shows it to only have a poor rating regarding signal While it worked in an outside application it was marginal. Even putting the device inside the house did not improve things. I have had other brands of waterproof devices and they all had poor signal reception. All other devices in the house, not rated for outdoors, have had good to excellent signal characteristics.

I bought this to connect into my Wink automation to turn on outdoor Christmas lights in 2020. It works great but I had to do some digging on YouTube and other places to get it to integrate with my Wink hub. They should provide better documentation as when I scanned the barcode with the Wink app, it said the device was not supported. I wen through the manual process thanks to youtube videos and it connected. No issues after that but I had to move my Wink hub closer to it as the wireless signal would not reliably pass through the front brick on my house to activate it. Beyond that it works great now and I will be using it every year going forward. Easily integrated with Alexa.
