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

Initially the outlet inclusion seemed easy, as it took on the first try, but it learned as a generic device, not a ge outlet, so there was no way to turn on/off. Had to exclude and re-include several times before it correctly coded. If I didnt already have a few of these, thus knowing how they should code, I wouldve returned it.

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.

I one switched outlet in my bedroom. I was looking for a solution so matching table lamps by or bed turn on with the wall switch. With with Alexa and zwave remote I have for next to bed. Doesnt seem any faster than old zwave, not plus. I like that the light area kind of looked but can be worked separately also but really need a remote control for this. Delay between the two lights turning on is annoyingly long but it works. Usual setup, neutral wire required. Works with wink 2 hub.

Had little trouble paring this to my system...apparently I had a gap in my wireless web. Once I got it paired, it has worked flawlessly over the past several months.

Have about 10 of these now. Works well with Smarthings. Just have one very far from the hub that does like like the Zwave Mesh network when trying to update the mesh it says something like cannot update but it still works so who cares. Recommend as a Zwave device for any smart system.

The plug lasted under 4 years. It is now making a loud constant clicking sound and is not functional at all. Not able to be reset either.

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.

This Z-Wave outlet was very easy to install and works great. I had some Z-Wave radio coverage issues, but the built in repeater function of the outlet has completely solved the issues. Im using it with a Vera3 Z-Wave controller.

Bought this act as a z-wave repeater / extender and extra smart device for controlling a security light. Found it easy to fit and link to our Smarthings hub, and it has helped to stabilised comms with some of our outlying smart devices. Setting up the app was a breeze.

Although a bit expensive, this zwave plug is easy to install and pairs quickly with the Hubitat zwave hub. Works great.
