Easy to install, affordable and almond color switch included. Just make sure you have a neutral wire in your gang box.
I have a Wink hub. But even if I get a smartthings later, or any other zwave hub in the future, this switch will be relevant.
Pairing is not very complicated. Configuring usage all depends on your hub, so that is hard to blame on the switch.
It has a simple interface so anyone can use it like a regular switch when walking in, no training needed. I did wish it was a bit easier to utilize the dimming on the switch (like the Lutron line) but not terrible. If manual dimming as a bit easier, 5 star.

The combination of this dimmer switch with a voice assistant is great. You can be anywhere in the house and dim your lights to exactly where you want them. Add in the ability to set routines depending on any variable (ex. turn the lights on after sunset when I come home) and you can really see why there is a much greater focus on smart homes in recent months.
For just a few extra minutes of work, the in-wall design looks so much better than the other switch covers that are offered. It seamlessly integrated with my smarthome setup .

I have changed out all my downstairs lighting and fan switches/dimmers to GE Z-Wave to use with the Amazon Echo. No issues at all. Easy to install and make sure you have a neutral wire before purchasing. Easy instructions to follow.

Smarthings hub and WEMO lights worked well except on multi light fixtures. Bought some dimmable LEDs and installed these switches in my multi light fixtures.
Works flawlessly and haven't had a disconnect from my controller hub yet. Currently have about 8 installed and plan on buying more. Great product.

Works as described. It's a bit deep so it takes up a lot of room in the electrical box. I use the Samsung Smartthings hub with the iPhone app.

I've tried the IP and Zigbee stuff. The Zwave is way more reliable. I installed and never messed with it again. What I was paying for when I bought the Belkin(IP) stuff. Buy these!

To incorporate this switch into a home network it must be within a few feet of the smart hub. So I was forced to run an extension cord tapped into the live wires in the wall switch location to the new switch and place it next to the router to activate before making the permanent installation.
Once that was done, everything worked like a charm. But the activation range is way shorter than the operating range. I have no idea why, but be aware.

Good dimmer. Was able to use for inside lights and even porch light. Was purchased to sync lights with our frontpoint security system. Easy to install if you have no wiring issues. Neutral jumper wire was included in box.

I love having these smart dimmers and other z-wave connected switches in my home. I can control everything in the house now with my voice using a SmartThings Hub and Google Home.
Home automation has finally reached the point where it's cheap enough for more average-level consumers to enter the market. For less that $500, I can have control of almost everything in my home.
These switches easily connect to the SmartThings Hub after proper installation and can be used right away.

We purchased these dimmer switches to connect with our SmartThings system. I'm sure this would have connected to SmartThings but we never got that far. We attempted many times to install these and ended up calling in an professional electrician to install. The electrician then told us that these would not work with our home wiring because we had a four way configuration (or so I am told). We ultimately had to return it. Best Buy made the return process simple with great customer service. The switches felt to be nice quality but unfortunately we could not use them.

Installed 2 of these for my front entry. Installation was straightforward and the switch seamlessly integrated with my Wink Hub2. Used in conjunction with ring doorbell to illuminate entry on motion detection.

I purchased a few of the dimmers. I've tried them with LED and regular bulbs, they are fidgity and unstable with both. I use them at 100% and leave them alone.

Dimming can be a little irregular with some LED lights, but I think that's the LED bulb's problem. Even on a non-dimmable switch, my lights tend to come on at one brightness and then get brighter, but incandescents (and I'm guessing other dimmable LEDs) seem to work perfectly smoothly on this dimmer. Quick/easy to pair, so far has stayed reliably connected to SmartThings hub. Gonna buy a bunch more :-)
