Review: Good start for my home automation. - As desertcart has bundled together all of the reviews for various GE Z-Wave controlled switches, receptacles and dimmers, this review is for the GE Z-Wave Smart Dimmer (In-Wall), 12724. I have a SmartThings hub and wanted to control our living room lights so I bought this switch. One of the big concerns I had was that there are reports of these buzzing. This switch is controlling 4 Cree 65W equivalent BR30 dimmable LED lights and notice no buzzing sound what so ever. Others have reported buzzing but for me even at the lowest setting with my ear on the switch, I hear no buzzing. In the "Customer Questions & Answers" some of the responses state that the buzzing others have experienced could have to do with the load or quality of the connected devices. The switch seems to be good quality. Installing it was pretty simple. You do have to have a neutral wire or the switch will not work. The package contains a small section of white wire to use as a pigtail for this. The package also include an almond color paddle. It doesn't include a wall plate though. After installing it, was able to easily connect it to my SmartThings up by using the mobile app to put it into discovery mode and then clicking the switch either up or down. The connection was immediate with no troubles. Under "Things" in the SmartThings app the switch reports off/ on status, the dimmer level with a slider to control dim level (see picture). There is also a button that allows you to control how the little blue LED light on the switch functions. The options are "Lit When Off" (default), "Lit When On" and "Never Lit". Lit When Off is good for finding the switch a little easier in the dark. Lit When On is good when you're controlling a device that can not be seen from the switch location such as an outside light. And Never On allows you to turn it off all the time if that light is just a bit too bright and annoying to you. All of this is available in the SmartThings mobile app. If you have a different controller, it's going to be different for you. Connecting it to the SmartThings hub allows me give full automation to these lights. I have them set them to turn on to 80% when my wife's cellphone "arrives" home after sunset. I also can remotely control them from anywhere using the SmartThings mobile app. After hooking it up to my SmartThings hub I was able to also connect it to my desertcart Echo through the SmartThings mobile app. Through the Echo and SmartThings you can turn them off, on and set dimmer levels using voice commands. You just say, "Alex, turn living room lights on", "Alexa, set living room lights to 50%". The action happens before the Echo can respond with, "Okay". Using the switch manually, you press and release the top part to turn the switch on and the bottom part to turn them off. Turning them on will dim the up to the last level you had them at and turning them off will dim them down to off. Press and hold the top part of the switch will turn the dim level up and press and hold the bottom to dim them down to the desired level. There is also a little pull out on the bottom to the left of the LED indicator light that turns the switch off all together. Pressing the any part of the switch will do nothing as long as this is pulled out. I really like this switch for it's quality, ease of use and the control it gives me in my home automation plan. I plan on adding GE Z-Wave fan controllers and dimmable switches to all my ceiling fans and I also plan to replace a few more room switches with this switch.
Review: I'm kind of addicted to these now - Installed this with an add-on switch yesterday. It works so well, I'm trying to pace myself from replacing every switch in the house with z-wave. Installation is a little tricky if you've never messed with swapping out a switch before. The instructions aren't super clear, but if you study them long enough, it eventually makes enough sense. Here's what I had to do: 1.) Turn the light off. Kill the breaker to the switch. 2.) Unscrew the plate and existing switch. Popping the existing wires out of the back of the old switch was the hardest part here. 3.) Pull out the white wires (neutrals) from the back of the box 4.) Unscrew the wire nut off the neutrals. Add in the short neutral wire included in the GE switch box and screw the wire nut back on. 5.) Connect the 4 or 5 wires that are now open to the new switch: line, load, neutral, traveler (only if 3-way config), ground. 6.) Turn breaker on. Check to see you've got a blue LED. 7.) Put your hub in discovery mode. Push the switch once to make it pair. 8.) Turn breaker back off. Screw everything back in and put on a fitting plate. Done! A couple other notes for people who are totally new to this: Line = wire coming from the breaker Load = wire going to the light fixture Traveler = wire that runs between two (or more) switches that allows you to flip the same light on/off from multiple places. Normally red. It can be hard to tell which is which between line/load as both of these are usually black. From my experience, the line wire was almost always connected via wire nut in the back of the box while the load wire was just free by itself. The load wire was also generally closer to the traveler wire. **UPDATE: So I just finished an install of 4 of these in the same gangbox. It was a LOT harder than I expected. Things get immediately more complicated when you're putting in more than 1 of these in the same box. Here's what I ran into: 1.) Each of these switches takes a dedicated ground wire. However, all multi-switch boxes in my house have the ground wire daisy-chained and shared between them. This meant I had to cut the existing ground wire and run separate short ones from a wire nut to each switch. Very annoying. Really wish these things had some way to pass through the ground wire. Almost enough to drop this to 4 stars. 2.) The neutral wire bundle in the back of the box already has 4 in there. That means you can't just cram 4 more neutral wires from these switches into that same wire nut. I had to combine the 4 new neutrals into their own new bundle and then use a short wire that would connect the two wire nut bundles. Also annoying. 3.) Those metal tabs on the sides. The instructions say you "may" need to snap them off when installing multiple switches next to each other. There was no "may" about it for me as there's no way more than one of these things will fit into a box and plate with those tabs. The tabs themselves are not hard to remove as long as you use some large pliers (locking pliers make it easier). I did leave the outside tabs on the outer-most switches, though. 4.) Box space. Oh man. Because of #1 and #2, you end up adding a lot of extra wire into the back of the box. Things get really tight really fast. The majority of my time on this task was getting everything crammed back in. It was so tight that when I would push everything in, the box itself was sliding back deeper into the wall. The short screws I had would never reach to attach the switches to the box. So I went out and bought longer screws, which made it tons easier. I also ran into problems where every time I'd smash stuff in, some random wire in one of those bundles would pop out, and I've have to pull everything out and start over. Endless trips to the breaker and back. At least I hit my fitness tracker step goal. 5.) INSPECT USED UNITS. Closely. Most of the time they're fine, but two of mine were missing the neutral wire in the box (luckily I had extra wire to make my own). One of them had the screw totally broken off on the neutral wire port, so I had to try and rig the wire to stay put. Finally, one of them was actually the older version of the switch that doesn't even take a neutral wire, even though the box it came in had the newer model model # printed on it - that one's obviously getting returned. But in the end, all 4 switches work, and having them dimmable, networked, automated is glorious. I'm just glad I don't have any more 4-switch boxes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I bought this device (GE Z-Wave Smart Dimmer) to put in place in my den
*by E***3 on March 19, 2017*

I bought this device (GE Z-Wave Smart Dimmer) to put in place in my den. It serves as the master switch in a two switch (3-pole) setup. This switch was very easy to install. This switch does require a nuetral connection because the switch itself requires constant power due to the Z-Wave antenna. Pay close attention to which wire is your traveler wire and which is your load, or else you may find yourself switch these two wires again when installing your add-on switch. This dimmer switch works extremely well. One thing that is a little irritating is that when you turn the light off, it doesn't go instantly off, it 'dims' all the way down slowly until it goes off. The process takes about 3 seconds but it's just a little annoying when you're used to the light instantly going off. Zwave communication is pretty good with my Wink Hub 2 controller. I had no issues linking this switch to my controller. I plan on buying another one of these with the add-on switch for my hallway light that is controlled by 2 switches.
