Very easy to pair with SmartThings hub. It's best to do the initial pairing directly on the hub (I was 20 feet away). You can then move it to another location later - as long as it is within range of a hub or a connected (non-battery powered) zwave device. I added a device by selecting the manufacturer and then the product. When you add that specific product, it only shows up in SmartThings as a managed device. The trick is to add as an internal 2 channel product. Then everything worked fine…

Works as advertised

I have a Vera Plus Z-Wave smart home. I'm building a big playground with benches instead of railings and I've attached hanging fairy lights to the benches. I have checked all components and everything works fine. During finishing work I screwed a screw into the lighting wire and shorted everything out. I blew the fuse in the headlight and turned off the GFCI switch. What didn't explode was the switch. I had to replace the cord light part, reset the fuse in the cord light and the switch. But…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Reliable

Packaging and Revain page show 90 degree connector. (There's a sticker on the front of the box over the end of the connector, but the back says 90 degrees.) Unfortunately, even with a 90-degree connector, the cable is still too short. All "outdoor" Revain Z-Wave forks have short cables. I just do not understand. It barely reaches the wall next to the outlet, and the plug has to be low enough to the ground to just reflect the rain off of it. You need a cord that is at least twice as long. I…

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Expandable

Be careful how you position this unit

I bought two of these last month and they both failed after a single rain. I guess it's my fault for placing that "outside" outlet in a horizontal position under a canopy. We've had heavy rain for the past few weeks and when the rain stopped my electrical outlet stopped working on both occasions. Every time you unplug the plug and put it in, the standing water can flow out. In both cases, the socket stopped working. The initial setup was great. I used mine with my SmartThings. I found it…

Pros
  • GOLS certified

Works with SmartThings - two individually controlled outlets.

***** Oct 2020 (10 month update) ****** This product is still working great. I didn't notice it skipping any commands or suffering any degradation. Mine is fully exposed to the weather, plugged into a street outlet, and secured to a fence. It looks as new as the day it was installed. I'm still more than satisfied considering it offers two sockets and ZWave for a great price. ***** February 2020 ***** My first review is below. The vendor (EvaLogik) has updated the device handler for this product

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Newer model could have been chosen
