Ge Z-wave In-wall 1000w 500s Smart Dimmer JAS14299

Worked perfectly. Our house is over 100 years old. I wanted to put a smart switch in the dining room that was compatible with our SmartThings hub that we already had. The house wiring was so old that it had to be a switch that didn't require a neutral wire. Other rooms have smart bulbs, but this room had a chandelier so a switch seemed to make sense.I hoped to install the switch myself. I am not especially handy but can handle easy jobs. The problem was that the installation of the old switch was really not up to today's standards by a long shot. There was no electrical switch box, there wasn't really room for one, and I ended up calling on a family friend who handled it all with minor headaches. None of that had anything to do with the switch which works great.Pairing it via ZWave with the SmartThings hub was very easy following instructions with the SmartThings phone app. The pause before it connected was long enough that I was momentarily concerned that it wasn't going to happen, that perhaps they were too far away from each other, but they connected soon enough.I would not hesitate to buy this switch again. It works perfectly manually and with Google Home and Alexa.

For years I have wanted to add overhead bedroom lighting control to my Samsung/Alexa system but my house doesn’t have a neutral wire. This switch is the solution.Having almost no home improvement experience, I followed the instructions and installed the switch myself in 15 mins. The switch paired easily with my hub and then was imported into Alexa without issue. Now I can crawl into bed and *then* turn out the light. Precision dim control is a plus and I like the way the light fades in and out to the last setting when the switch turns on and off. Great product, arrived in 1 day, works exactly as described.

I have two of these lights, one for the kitchen and the other for some outside food lights. The one in the kitchen has 10 ceiling lights and works great with Samsung smart things. The one for the flood lights, it works but when I turn the switch light off, the flood lights flicker on about ever 1 second. It's hard to pinpoint what the cause of this is because it seems like these lights were installed after the house was built so I'm not sure if the switch is the issue. When I switch the flood lights on they'll flicker for about 2 seconds then stay on with no issue. It's slightly annoying but there's no one behind my house so it's not a problem because it's not really noticably to anyone else. The right tools you'll need for any switch is needle nose plyers, flat head screw driver, and most importantly a voltage sniffer. Look up voltage sniffer here in Amazon, they're about 20 bucks but might literally save your life

Bought one of these, had a power surge, didn’t work after. Bought another one, had a power surge, doesn’t work. If you want to replace it every time you’re power goes out or you have a power surge, get one. I’ve went through 2 now in less than a year.

This particular light switch has awesome instructions and it works flawlessly. I teamed it up for a 4 way switch by adding 2 more switches that are the Not stand alone model type. It works perfectly. The instructions in the stand along model take you from a standard 4 way and 3 way switch to how to wire it for Google. Google controls everything. What I also like is its ability to work with all types of lightbulbs including Phillips Hue. The Z way and Zigbee work absolutely flawless with my WINK and RING. It intensity is exponential as well not just linear. So it can adjust the light at any intensity you desire. You have to know something about electrical wiring but its extremely simple. I highly recommend it. Nothing compares to its versatility and capability. My Sincere thank you and congrats to GE and their extremely smart crew. GE made the perfect most accommodating switch. Perfect in every way. Amazon well done guys.

It works pretty good with my Vera controller. The only problem with all the GE units ist that they stop working after a while. Unfortunately just after the warranty expired. I have one spare each at home just in case.

This switch is wonderful for houses with older wiring. It will work when your old light switch is a single pole connection (just a break in the hot wire). You can now control your light fixture off-on and add dimmer functions to it using smart home automation or you can control it all at the toggle switch.

Great buy if you have an old house , I recommended this product.Works great with Samsung smart things , google and Alexa.5 stars.Cons:It's too expensive .Cheaper to buy smart bulbs.
