Enbrighten 55256 Z-Wave Plus Smart Receptacle, Works with Alexa, Google Assistant, Tamper-Resistant, 1 ZWave 1 Always On Outlet Hub Required, White

Installed 2 of these over the weekend. They look much better and neater than the Belkin wemo plugs they replaced. I have them working through Samsung Smartthings. These were very easy to install in the wall and have worked great. I plugged in the light in the bottom outlet, turned on the light and hit the button on the outlet and immediately it was picked up in my Smartthings app. Plan to purchase more.

Receptacle is doing low-level buzzing noise in the On state, like a cheap phone charger. Competitors dont have such an issue having almost identical price. I dont recommend to use Enbrighten 55256 anywhere at residential due to the buzzing noise.

when your other half tells you we need this ... you just get it. no question asked. well, this is one of the items that i have no clue, what he needed it for. i guess it’s great product, so far no complains. shipping was fast too.

You will need to “backstab” the ground meaning straighten your ground wire, then nsert into the provided hole next to the green screw—then tighten the screw down. Tech support never suggested this which was really bizarre considering I spoke with four different reps, YES FOUR! Conncecting to SmartThings was seamless, however connecting to Alexa was a nightmare. I tried everything then the next day it connected on my first try. Installed on kitchen counter as “coffee pot”—“Alexa turn coffee pot on”. I finally ditched the drip coffee makers and purchased an electric percolator which by design turns on when you plug it in. This switch allows for Alexa control so no matter what time a get up I just ask her nicely to make my coffee. Note: Fresh perc coffee smells fantastic in the kitchen and tastes better.

If you want to have to buy them all again in 26 months and have to go through the hassle of replacing them, these are the outlets for you. Otherwise stay clear. I have 15 of these and they are ALL dead. None lasted more than 29 months. Total garbage. Trying the Leviton brand ones now.

This is the second weatherproof plus smart receptacle that Ive purchased. Both were easy to program and install. I have both of them installed in the backyard, controlling a fountain and lighting. Both receptacles are about 30-50 feet outside my home and easily connect to my security panel located within the residence. When you consider the saved time and expense of no longer having to install a switch, these are well worth it!

I have purchased this particular outlet twice, and both have failed after 2-3 years. At a lower price point I could justify buying them as disposable but not at $50...

I have multiple of these units installed in my house; installed them myself. Theyve been working fine for just under 4 years. This past week, on Thursday, I had 2 of them fail the exact same way; blinking blue light of death. There was no power issue as nothing else in the home, including many sensitive electronics, never lost internet, battery backups never clicked, etc. They both randomly died on the exact same day. If you look this up, even in Amazon reviews, youll find this to be very, VERY common. Looks like I have to buy a bunch of z-wave outlets from another manufacturer. Update March 2022: Another died, thats 3 in a span of 6 months or 75%. I went ahead and pulled the last one as well since Im well aware its going to die by the end of the year.

Works as advertised, but I had to go buy a wall plate since none was included.

I use this Z-wave outlet in conjunction with my Vivint security system to turn off my garage door opener when the security system is armed.
