Eaton Z-Wave Plus 15 -Amp 125-volt Tamper Resistant Residential Decorator Smart Compatible Outlet , Black

It just works.

It just works. No issues. Install is straight-forward. Integrates with the hub super easily. And it’s z-wave, which means the devices don’t clog up our WiFi.

Great Z-Wave Outlet

After trying other brands of Z-Wave outlets, I decided to check out the Eaton product due to it's availability and reasonable cost. I was pleased that it installed easily and added to my system without issue. The device feels solid and was shipped with wire nuts to make installation a breeze (it did not include a cover plate however). While the pigtails were not an issue for me, I do think it would be acceptable to forego the wires for a more traditional screw post.

blue wire makes the difference

I have a fairly complex smart home setup with mostly GE/jasco switches and outlets. I have one room where a traditional outlet is connected via a regular switch with only two wires. to make this a smart outlet, I connected the white ( neutral) wire and the blue (control) wire to the standard switch and it works great!

Another great addition to the smart home

Really Nice Outlet

Great little outlet controllable via Z-wave wireless technology. Most people use Vera or Samsung Smarthings as the hub of choice.

Hass.io is a bit of a tinkerers platform, but it only took about 3 hours to go from zero to controlling it on the phone and pc.
