Review on Enhance Your SmartThings Setup with Z Wave Repeater Extender by Sammie Rodriguez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

First dimmer socket that really works for me

I've tried almost every GE/Jasco Revain dimmer socket and they all had a problem (which is probably due to my personal Home Assistant setting - Zigbee and Zwave are inconsistent). Setting it up wasn't easy because Home Assistant and OpenZwave 1.4 don't recognize the device, but it appears to be a rebranded Inovelli NZW39 dimmer, so after reading online I was able to edit the manufacturer's XML file to recognize this device , and now it works great. Flicker free, smooth fading that looks 1-100% perfect, although as far as I can tell there is no fade in/fade out option via Zwave. Pressing the physical button will toggle in and out, so it's odd that it doesn't show up there. It would be 5 stars if this feature worked and didn't require so many manual adjustments. Please note that this will block the outlet below if you plug in an extension cord.

Pros
  • Works with Alexa for voice control (Alexa device and hub sold separately). Compatible with the following certified Z-Wave hubs: SmartThings, Wink, Honeywell, HomeSeer, Nexia, Vera, Connect and Iris.
Cons
  • No power
