Works Perfect!
I bought this because I wanted to be able to turn off my daughter’s television from my bedroom upstairs and schedule it to turn off at 10:30 so she doesn’t stay up late watching TV.I believe there’s an indicator light that you can turn off from an app or in SmartThings mine is turned off cuz I don’t want her to know you can turn off and on the switch from the plug itself.One thing I was not aware of is that only one of the outlets is smart the other one stays on all the time of course I did not tell her this and as of right now her TV turns off at 10:30 every night all is well!The installation is super straightforward and easy you do need a white neutral wire which I’m not sure every Outlet will have maybe you should check before you buy it. SmartThings found it on the second try it’s worked perfect ever since no complaints.

Less is More
This review is for the Z-Wave Plus in-wall outlet only. Other Jasco/GE product perform differently.Gotta hand it to Jasco (formerly GE, formerly Edison General Electric) less really is more. It has 1 programmable parameter to change the way the indicator LED works (On-On, On-Off, Always Off). It has clamp style terminals (hot, neutral, ground) that will hold 2 wires each (12 awg solid tested). Top outlet is always on; bottom is z-wave controlled. Button in the middle with a blue LED behind it sends program signal and changes state On-Off. Press 10 times quickly and it changes the way the LED works. It has a factory reset with that button as well. This is about as simple as a z-wave device can get. The Jasco products are simple by comparison to other z-wave devices I own, but you don’t have to learn Machine Language to figure out how to program and use them (like I did trying to get devices (Aeotec) to work with HomeSeer that said I was too stupid to use their products). The instructions are a little lacking as to explaining how to wire the outlet. It took searching on the multi-language instruction sheet for me to determine how to get it to respond to the add node (hardware). A simple put controller in Add Node-Device-Hardware mode and press button once would have sufficed. Less is More did not help on this point.It is terribly expensive for what you get. Other wireless protocol outlets are much less expensive. Given a typical TR Decora outlet costs 2 dollars (or less) and it will likely die in about 2-3 years from failure of the electrolytic capacitors it is pretty pricey. But, professional automation is tremendously costly (you have to pay them to come out and fix anything or add any programming); so go with what you feel works best. You could use a relay that fits in the box, but those are limited to 10A or less.Be careful…. Make sure you know how to wire that outlet correctly when (notice I didn’t say if) your computer controlled automation fails so you get back that other outlet. Make sure you have good surge protection or kiss it goodbye….Overall, so far works as advertised. Stupid simple to add to Domoticz (v4.970). Works fine with a 1.2w LED lamp. Will update if it dies sooner than expected or causes my network to go nuts.Update Jul 2020: The Outlet has stopped working once or twice since installed. It appeared to lose communication with the controller. I Turned it On and Off with the front mounted switch and it resumed working as normal within a few minutes. This could be the nature of Z-Wave, device error, controller error, or control program error. If it happens to you there is an option to explore.

Ordered 2 of the First Generation outdoor
I am not an electrician but I know a bit about electricity. For one thing, I know that, for safety, you really need a good grounded outlet. Also, you need a firm connection on all of the wires to the receptacle. I did not get a good feel on either of the above. It seems cheaply designed and made. I really struggled to get the ground wire to fit the device at all. I am not convinced that it is a good ground. The hot and neutral wires were easier but there are no terminals to wrap the wires around and no screws to tighten the connection. You just push the wires into a hole and tighten a screw to apply more pressure to the wire. I am not convinced that this is safe or reliable. If I start having flickering lights on that part of the house, this thing is going to taken out and junked. But, so far — so good.On the good side — it actually does work and it is nice to have an LED to indicate that the controlled outlet is ON. I paired it with my SmartThings hub and that was pretty much idiot-proof. I have only had it installed a day so I have no ideal about reliability. If it is not good, I will downgrade this review to ONE star.I thought that this would be a good outlet but I am sure that there are better choices for the money. I think that I will start using the smart outlets that simply plug in to the existing receptacle. Less hassle, possibly safer and less money.

LO UNICO MALO ES QUE LO DETECTA COMO SI FUERA UN APAGADOR DE LUZ NO COMO CONTACTO

I initially tried to pair it with my Wink 2 hub as a GE receptacle but that turned out to be the wrong way. I had to do it as a generic z-wave binary switch. Once that’s done it has been working flawlessly and reliably. I installed it in the basement of my 2,100 sq ft home and my hub is on the ground floor. It is on a preset schedule and no issue found so far.
