Been using the old Zooz 4-in-1 Multisensor to automate bedroom heating as well as lighting and it always works. Almost never any false reactions or polling of temps. Definitely looking to get some...

I have over 10 at my old house, and bought another 11 for my new house. Really good stuff. The scene controller is pretty good, and is a good combination with smart bulbs. The only thing I can...

It's hard to break over 150watt LED on a single dimmer. My house is pretty large and the most LED I have on one switch is 120watts. That's a kitchen with 12 cans in it @10w each.

The flip side is that of the ten GE/Jasco switches I have installed over the last few years, I have already had 2 failures.

They say you do but I have several of those devices paired directly to my zigbee stick and they work with home assistant fine.

True, but once you step up to 75W-100W equivalents, you're pushing 15-20W/fixture limiting you to only 5-6 lights per switch. 6x100W equivalents or 8x75W equivalents probably isn't the norm, but I...

As a counter-point, many people have had no issues with Zooz products (myself included), but many have been bitten by the GE "Click of Death" capacitor failure on the previous generation of dimmers....

Generally speaking, in the world of smart home tech, there are four main competing wireless protocols for lighting control right now: Zwave, Zigbee, Wifi, and Lutron Caseta, each with their own pros...

Really depends on experience. I had most of my Zooz switches fail since I bought them few years ago (had at least 10). Replaced with GE and no problems since.

I think it depends on what you see yourself doing in a couple of years. If you can't imagine wanting to control/automate anything else, then yeah, ZWave might be overkill. I would get some WiFi...

I've never had an issue with the wattage ratings for smart switches. 150w of LEDs is roughly 15 60w equivalent bulbs - that's a lot of lights!

I think zwave is probably overkill if the limit of your ambition is just to remote control one or two circuits, since you also have to invest in the hub, which can be expensive if it's just...

It's kind of late, but if you are still looking for something that doesn't need a neutral wire, the new HomeSeer WS-300 claims to not need one, but I don't have any first hand experience with then. I...

I just wanna be able to control my ceiling lights that are already installed (on/off). I haven't read much about zooz or zwave but is this overkill VS getting some Lutron Caseta switches (which seem...

I'm guessing you're talking about a gas fireplace with a wall switch? If that is the case, you won't be able to replace the switch directly with any of these switches. A typical setup will use a...

At an average unit price of ~$20, the $99 bar is less than five units. While some people may want to try out a single unit before committing, I don't think 4-5 units is an unreasonable expectation to...

Even if you only stick to the very core areas (bedroom(s), bathroom(s), living room, and exterior lights) you can very quickly hit ~10 or so. You have to remember that not all Zwave devices are wall...
