GARBAGE
These switches are garbage. You need to purchase a hub, Eaton doesnt sell one. If you have any issues the hub vendor will blame it on eaton, eaton on the hub. The switches dont work 15% of the time. The 2nd switch in the 3-way doesnt even wire connect to the light circuit, just wifi connection to the "universal" switch that is actually wired to the lights. So many issues with that wireless communication, its crazy. I thought I could make my life easier with smart switches, but apparentl...

Complete trash, save your $$ & get something else
I have both this, and the RF9640-N and this product is just complete garbage. Getting this paired up with my smartthings hub (which is z-wave compatible) took forever, and when it did finally connect and I created an association for the master RF9640-N switch it still fails to function as a switch at all. The instructions are about as useful as a pile of wet cow dung, which is to say that at least you can use the cow dung as fertilizer if you wanted, where as these instructions are completely us...

Read the instructions!
The one star reviewers seem to have not read instructions and may not be familiar with z-wave device connections. This switch must be used in the same circuit as an RF9601 or the Eaton dimmer Z-wave switch. Without the primary switch you will have trouble connecting. Work great with both my Hubitat and with Smartthings hubs.
Hello, Great !! thank you for your feedback and you are 100% correct an Accessory switch like RF9617 or Accessory dimmer RF9642-Z will not work by th...

Complicated and Expensive
Unless you understand some IT stuff move on. There are many other choices out there that are far less expensive and easier to figure out.

Hello, your frustration is understandable. Eaton Z-wave plus units do require a HUB to operate them and some HUB manufacturers do not support associa...

Garbage DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME.
What a garbage product that I have seen in my 22 years plus as an electrician. Normally I dont let clients purchase their own switches and I should have stuck to my instincts. I spent 7 to 8 minutes rewiring the 3 way switch wiring to make it work as per the sh$%y directions because it will not work with standard wiring for 3 way wiring, you need to us the Zwave hub to make it work according to the directions which is a nightmare. It took 45 mins trying to get this to connect to the Zwave radio ...

Just Terrible
Installation instructions are terrible, setup instructions are terrible, won't connect to z-wave hub, the accessory switch does not work, the Eaton mobile app is useless and you can't even log onto to it. Save yourself the headache avoid this garbage. i will be returning this to lowes after wasting hours trying to get it to work.
