Eaton RF9501DS Aspire Z-Wave Wireless Single Pole Switch for $7.44 on amazon at Amazon
This switch has been discussed in previous zwave thermostat deals.
I received it today and confirm it is a zwave switch.
Works perfectly with Smartthings for me. You just need to keep the switch on during the inclusion process.

Here is where it was posted before:

Since there is come confusion. The product requires a Z-Wave hub.
http://www.z-wave.com/faq

Start with a Z-Wave smart hub. The smart hub becomes the brain of your smart home/home automation system, connecting all of your smart devices together via an app on your smartphone, tablet, or computer. If you don't have one, here [z-wave.com] are some options for you to choose from.

http://www.z-wave.com/shop-z-wave...smart-hubs

The Z-Wave website lists different hubs. If you see one you like, you can search SlickDeals to see if there are any current sells, or the see the going price.

Answers to a few common questions here:

To use Z-wave devices you have to have a z-wave hub. Something like SmartThings.

To wire this switch you will need a neutral wire. Some houses do not have neutral wires. If you do not have a neutral wire available you need to look for z-wave dimmers instead of on/off switches.

The only color switch in this link that is actually z-wave is Desert Sand.

Make sure to order it direct from Amazon and not 3rd party.

Please find the attached picture for the result of spray paint. I am pretty satisfied with the result! It looks pretty good. The plate is plain white. so you can compare the color.

I ordered this a few days ago. It is not z-wave. I ordered 10 thinking it was a great deal. What I received was not z-wave at all.

Edit - it must say RF in the product name. The only color that was z-wave is desert sand.
This should show the contrast.

Matching, White Plate, and Almond Plate

Frankly, the fact that I can tell Alexa "Turn off the kitchen lights" when I leave that room with my hands full, is worth a little color mismatch. (vs paying $$$ for they non-desert colored ones. )

I got them today. I ordered from Amazon directly, not 3rd party. The color is a bit ugly, but tolerable. They are zwave. It is definitely well worth the price of $7.5.

Yes only the desert sand/almond is z-wave. I ordered one during the first sale and now have 3 waiting to ship (1-2 mo). I've installed it already and it paired easily w/ST. No issues whatsoever.

Looks like it. Everything else is a normal switch

Did you order from a 3rd party? I had no issues with my order.

Were there any complications to wiring it up? Do they require special cover plates? How many watts do they handle and would it handle a ceiling fan?

Just ordered 10. I can always change my mind later.

*update* It disappeared quick this time just like last time..glad I squeaked in. Thank goodness for email alerts.
