Enbrighten 58438 Z-Wave 700s Smart Dimmer, White

Great switch that is easy to install. Does need a white wire to work. Good breadth of automation functions.

I love these switches! Easy to set up with my zwave hub. Thanks.

I installed this in a shed about 60 ft from our house, so I can turn on the light remotely. The switch connects to the house Wi-Fi perfectly. Minus 1 star because the switch manual operation is a bit unusual. You press only the bottom half of the switch to turn the light both on and off.

A big improvement over the first generation Jasco switches. The overall size is smaller and switch toggles with a solid feeling. It is less prone to wear and breakage.

I had high hopes for these switches. For a while, they worked exactly as expected—quietly doing their job without drama. Then one decided to go on permanent vacation. It failed while “off,” which made my Z-Wave network a little grumpy until I tracked it down and replaced it (fortunately I had a spare). I figured, “Hey, flukes happen.” Three weeks later, its friend apparently wanted in on the early retirement plan… except this one quit while the lights were on. And here’s the kicker: when they fail, the manual button is just for decoration. So I had 15 ceiling lights blazing 24/7 until the replacement arrived (no spare this time). (Turning off the breaker wasn’t an option unless I wanted to cook/dine by flashlight.) They were nice while they lasted, but let’s just say GE/Enbrighten won’t be getting an invite to my next smart home party.
