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

***** October 2020 (10 month update) ****** This product is still working great. I have not noticed it missing any commands or suffering any degradation. I have mine completely exposed to the elements, plugged into an outdoor outlet and mounted on a fence. It appears as new as the day it was installed. I continue to be more than satisfied given that this provides two outlets and ZWave at a great price. ****** February 2020 ***** My original review is below. The vendor (EvaLogik) did update the device handler for this product and it now works as expected. I am able to control the two outlets as separate items inside the SmartThings application. I appreciate that they provided quick and accurate responses to my questions and followed through with the promised update. I am using this to turn on a set of outdoor lights and an outdoor fountain on different schedules and when triggered from a motion detector. I wanted two outlets so I can turn the lights on after dark but turn the fountain on at all times of day. I am happy with the way this now working. I will update the review with additional info as the product ages. ****** Original Review ****** Im a SmartThings user and prefer to add Z-Wave devices to my network instead of the more common WiFi only devices. The EVA-LOGIK two outlet, outdoor plug looked like a great alternative to the GE Z-Wave single outlet device (https://www.amazon.com/GE-Weather-Resistant-Required-Works-SmartThings-14284/dp/B06W9NWFM3) that I also own. Unfortunately I cannot get more than one outlet to show up in SmartThings when I install the device. I have added and removed the device multiple times without luck. SmartThings does list two EVA LOGIK device handlers (one for Single Outlet and one for Dual Outlet) but installing either results in just a single outlet being controllable. I will say that packaging, build quality and installation were all great. I have no complaints about the product other than the fact that it doesnt do the one thing that makes it special. I am able to control a single outlet and the response time is fast. The range seems to be about average for Z-Wave which works for me. I did contact the seller and they responded that they will be able to solve this problem in the next couple weeks. I will update my review if they come through with a fix. For now I cannot recommend this product.

Connected easily to SmartThings but would on and off functions did not work.

Bought two of these and neither of them is in use. I own and use over 50 z-wave devices in my home. Only a handful of them were retired due to unreliability, and these fall into that camp. More often than not, they just wouldnt respond. Furthermore, having these devices turned on was impacting the entire z-wave network. Will be staying away from this brand from now on.

I have purchased two of these in the last month and both failed after a single rain. I suppose this is my fault for positioning this outdoor outlet in a flat position under a canopy. We have had some serious rain the last couple weeks and when the rain let up, my outlet was no longer working either time. Disconnecting the outlet and taking it inside each time allowed standing water to pour out. In both cases, the outlet never worked again. Getting it setup initially was great. I used mine with my SmartThings. It found it quickly, both outlets were easy to configure. I got it working through Alexa very easily as well (maybe thanks to SmartThings?). My expectation was that this device would keep the water out on its own because it was labelled outdoor and IP65. That was an incorrect assumption on my part. IP65 means dustproof and protected against water projected from a nozzle. If I were to spend another $40 on this device, I would disassemble the device and spray the board with Corrosion-X or something similar and then wrap the outlet in plastic.

The unit becomes unreachable every few days and has to be rebooted to get it recognized again. It cant handle routines that have both outlets turn on or off at the same time. Response time after commands are issued is very slow. The unit works but I recommend looking for anything else if you want reliability

The biggest issue weve had came down to how do you turn on the 2nd outlet manually. The answer is double tap the power button. 100% user error. Its been rock solid from day 1.

The unit arrived yesterday and I cannot attest to its weatherproof qualities but believe it will do fine as that’s the whole point of being an outdoor smart plug. Setup was easy and I can control both plugs with no issue. One outlet controls my small pool pump and the other for some deck lighting. I am using an Abode iota hub and paired by Zwave.

Works as advertised. No signal issues. Timers function fine. If I need another like it, Ill buy a second one of these without hesitation.

I purchased this item and had no problems connecting it to my Z-Wave hub. The problem is that only one of the two plugs worked. I could easily control the plug once it was on but the second plug wouldnt power anything at all. I think I got a defective one.

Connects easily to ADT security system via Z wave. I set it up with ADT’s automation features so my exterior deck lights operate automatically.
