Excellent dimmer, excellent dimming quality
excellent dimmer. high quality and UL listed. smaller and thinner than most dimmer, innovative feature of load/line sensing; meaning you don’t need to know which one is load (light for example) or line (power 120V). this switch would determine that internally. best feature is it’s dimming capability. i had kasa dimmers installed before, and i replaced those with the GE dimmers. the dimming quality of Kasa is no match to GE dimmer. GE is way superior in terms of performance. Also, in my opinion, GE dimmers are best looking as it looks like a normal rocker switch. i have lutron dimmer installed as well, good performance, but after a while i realized the lights on the dimmer (that correspond to the dimming levels) look funny, after a while. GE dimmer is decent looking.installation is easy, single dimmer, or 3 way or 4 way. just remember one basic concept. the primary dimmer switch always has the line (120v), load (light for instance), neutral, and ground. the traveler wire between the primary dimmer and add-on switch; is just used to send a low voltage signal to the primary dimmer to turn on/off the lights. GE z wave (or honeywell ultrapro z wave, or ultrapro z wave, etc.) all made by Jasco. they are same , buy the one that is cheaper. these z wave devices do need an add on switch(s) for 3 way or 4 way installation. you can’t use it with a normal mechanical switch. if you want GE dimmer in 3 way configuration to be used with normal mechanical switch, buy the GE wifi dimmer. 3 wifi dimmers for approx. $50. but in my opinion, the z wave is worth the investment since the z waves are smaller and dissipate less heat. in older homes with not too deep electrical boxes, that is beneficial. i installed 9 primary dimmers and 7 add on switches. all work good. there are two typs of z wave dimmers by Jaso. the new version is 20% smaller and has line/load sensing. buy that one, easy to install:The GE add on switch needs a neutral wire. the traveler wire (just one wire red or whatever color you have) goes between the add on switch and the primary dimmer. this low voltage signal from the add on switch to the primary switch , tells the primary switch to turn on/off the lights. these dimmer and add on switch just work like normal mechanical switch, meaning, press top of the rocker to turn ON the lights, press bottom of the rocker to turn OFF the lights.

Almost perfect
Once installed and setup. It works great. However a couple of snags getting there.First it’s a bit too wide for a multi gang box. The slots need to be wider to make it easier to slide over. It also needs the sides to be slimmer.Next is installing it with Smart things hub. It doesn’t automatically install scanning the qr code on the switch. You must choose the GE switch first then it will recognize it. (This maybe the fault of Samsung)Tapping on and off works as well as holding up or down for the dimmer. It works as it should and it’s easy to understand.

Works great with SmartThings. Wiring is eay too
Needed to add a smart controlled light recently and went with this model as I already have multiple GE/Embrighten Z-Wave switches from the old standard Z-Wave to the newer Z-Wave plus. This is one of the newest models and they have definitely made improvements. As far as installation goes the switch is physically smaller then the older models which makes it easier to fit into the electric box. Plus you can now swap the hot and load wires and it figures it out. I didn’t as I knew which was which but that would be real handy if you didn’t know as you wouldn’t have to trace out wires. Plus it was discovered by SmartThings with no issues on the first try. Overall great product.

The addon switches use the travel wire to communicate so it is important to know your wiring circuit

Easy to set up an install with your smart home hub and smart voice controlhas programmable parameters via the Z wave standardi’ve been able to successfully join this to smart things and winkvery satisfying to press in the buttons are quite tactile and clickyThis Company offers additional colours to pop off including brown and black.this particular variant has the quick fit feature which is a super tiny size which is a game changer as the device is much smaller now.this is the perfect smart home switch for me!

Works fine
