Outdoor Z-Wave Plus On/Off Light and Appliance Plug, Two On/Off Smart Outlet, Zwave Hub Required, Works with SmartThings, Wink, Alexa (ZW97)

I have used this for 3 weeks now and I am impressed with how well our Samsung Smartthings works with it. I have one outlet coming on 30 minutes before sunset and the other outlet coming on at 15 minutes after sunset. I have about 400watts on each outlet and so far this has worked flawlessly.

I used a single channel EvaLogik plug and it worked fine, when I wanted to add a second lamp I purchased this 2 channel controller and it’s never worked properly. I can set it up with no issue but within 30 minutes it loses connection to the hub. Turning the switch on or off by using the button reconnects it to the z wave network for a while but the failure then recurs. I have tried excluding and re-adding the device multiple times and have done several z-wave network repairs but the device continued to fail. I exchanged it and the exact same situation occurred. I have several other z-wave devices, including some which act as repeaters, in the room right next to the outdoor location so I know that the z-wave network is strong enough to support the signal. Based on the behavior I am assuming that the power supply to the z-wave radio is erratic and fails to supply adequate current to the radio to maintain the connection. I am returning the second controller and will be replacing it with another brand.

The connected easily to my Hubitat Elevation hub, and I can name and manage both receptacles separately. All for a great price. The only thing I do wish it had was a 90° plug, but I couldnt find any Z-wave devices that do.

Great use for lighting up outdoor Christmas lights. Easy to pair with Samsung SmartThings.

I bought this as I was looking for a solution for outdoor lighting in my garden. I decided to use this product with an outdoor power strip to power a group of LED lights. I connected this with my SmartThings hub without incident, and it has remained on the network reliably ever since. Control through both SmartThings and Alexa (by way of SmartThings) is flawless. It hasnt been through the worst rain Seattle has to offer yet, but so far so good. I bought the Z-wave solution because the range should be superior to WiFi. I havent tested this beyond 10 or so meters yet, but so far, so good.

When I use Alexa only one plug will come on or shut off. Not both at the same time. I will have to go in manually and turn on or off one of the outlets.

Ive had a difficult time connecting this device to my home Z-Wave network. Works okay now but loses connection sporaticly.

Testing of this device shows it to only have a poor rating regarding signal While it worked in an outside application it was marginal. Even putting the device inside the house did not improve things. I have had other brands of waterproof devices and they all had poor signal reception. All other devices in the house, not rated for outdoors, have had good to excellent signal characteristics.

This is the only plug on the market that has 2 outlets that are independently controllable. Inovelli used to sell these but they stopped, so Im glad to see it being sold again.

Bought 5 for an outdoor fan misting setup. 4 fans, 1 pump. I believe the pump is 12A, and the fans are all 2-3. It reacts instantly, and so far after a month has been rained on, and baked in 100F Texas suns.
