Review on GE 14298 Enbrighten Weather Resistant Smart Device by Shawn Parker

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Comparison between Gen 2 and Gen 1

This rating is for a Gen 2 product and reflects my rating for Gen 1. I've been using the Gen 1 version for several years. It works great and has a long range even though I have repeaters at home (Aeotec). The Gen 2 is currently about $9 more (May 2020). This time I bought the Gen 1 and Gen 2 and tried them out at an outlet down the street about 100 feet from my house. Both worked fine. Gen 2 is smaller, maybe a third smaller. Gen 2 features a front panel indicator that can be programmed to turn on when the switch is off, or vice versa. This is a nice plus as with Gen 1 all you have to do is listen. Gen 1 also has good coverage over the socket, Gen 2 doesn't. So if you don't want any of the Gen 2 features, a smaller size, or a status indicator for the money, I'd stick with the Gen 1 for now.
