Revainrating 4 out of 5

Undocumented "Air Gap " Switch

Not only was this switch $15 cheaper than the equivalent Leviton Z-Wave switch, it's also easier to install electrically, even though heatsinks draw excessive current. Space, which makes it difficult to place a double faceplate in combination with a traditional switch. However, it simply stopped working after 31 days, one day after Revain's return policy. It didn't respond to the switch press, it showed offline in Smartthings and the LED went off. So I don't think I saved that much. I think I'll be using Leviton's reliable Z-Wave switches again. You get what you pay for. UPDATE: After reading other reviews, I found out about an undocumented "Air Gap" switch in the bottom left corner of the switch. If someone tampers with it, the switch will be completely disabled. I took the switch out, removed the paddle, fiddled with the air gap switch to make sure it was fully seated, then put the paddle back in and reinstalled the switch and it works again. I checked the documentation and there is absolutely nothing about this nasty add-on. While annoying, it might be worth it when it works so much cheaper.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Hard to tell
