This switch works great with Samsung Smart things and Alexa. So far, I have installed three of these smart switches for fans in different rooms. Installation was pretty easy. Follow the directions. Only instruction to watch is for the neutral wire. Watched the video on youtube for installation where GE has official video for easy installation. Once installed, just opened the smartthings app on mobile and add device, it was searching the network for long time with no results. Tried twice and it did the same with nothing. Ended up with the device exclusion process for z- wave network. From smartthings app, under settings - click hub is online and then z-wave utilities, then general device exclusion and click the remove with switch on. This process will remove the device and follow steps to add the switch and the Z-wave immediately it detected as Fan Dimmer. Viola - That's it. Everything worked well from phone. Added to the Amazon Alexa and it was easy to adjust the fan speed when controlled by Alexa. For example: Alexa, set bedroom fan to 40%. I have two of these switches installed using a SmartThings controller coupled with Alexa. Also, works great with google mini. Great home automation switch. Home is complete with automation and this helps to adjust speed without getting off the bed during winter. Recommend it.

Overall good switch. No connection issues first time. I wish it was eaiser to select fan speed from the switch. It is difficult to get the fan on medium.

Works as it should. Install was easy if you can change a lite switch. Works fine with Samsung SmartThings. Looks modern.
