Review on πŸ”Œ Convenient Outdoor Z-Wave Plus On/Off Light and Appliance Plug- SmartThings/Wink/Alexa Compatible (ZW96) by Roman Starr

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Z-Wave on/off failed after less than two months of use and stuck despite reset

At first I was happy with this outdoor Z-Wave plug, but after just over a month of use, I found that my landscape lighting controlled by this device stays on 24 hours a day . Initially I was able to just unplug the unit and it worked again for a few days but now the light comes on and stays on 24 hours a day. The manual on/off switch on the device also no longer works. This company is based in Hong Kong and there is no reasonable way for a US resident to get warranty assistance. I am very disappointed with this product due to the lack of warranty for a very new product so I will not be purchasing their products again. I am about to order a GE outdoor module to replace. This one ends up in a landfill somewhere.

Pros
  • Works with Alexa for voice control: Alexa-enabled hub required for voice control with Amazon Echo products (Alexa device and hub sold separately). Cannot connect to ECHO PLUS directly (only ZigBee products can connect to Echo Plus directly).
