Great Appliance Module; Not a DimmerNov 24, 2011
By Joshua Warren
If you're looking for a z-wave device that will help you improve the reliability of communications with a z-wave lock such as the Kwikset or Schlage locks, this is by far the best device to go with - it works great in this capacity, is very easy to install and connect to your network and has a pretty smart design that keeps you from losing use of an outlet as many plug-in modules tend to. It supports 'beaming', unlike some older z-wave devices, which is a must to interface with z-wave locks.
However, as another reviewer noted, this is NOT a dimmer - it's designed for fluorescent lights, motors, appliances and other loads that will be either on or off and won't be dimmed. The device reports itself as a "Z-Wave Switch Binary", not "Z-Wave Switch Multilevel" or "Z-Wave Dimmer Switch" as it would if it was a dimmer.
I've used this to turn lights on and off as well as to control the operation of an air filter whose motor didn't run well at all when plugged up to a dimmer module.
Adding the module to your z-wave network couldn't be easier - put your controller in Add mode and then tap the button on the front, which also serves as a manual on/off switch for the z-wave controlled outlet.
This module includes 2 outlets - one on each side; one is always on and the other is controlled by z-wave. If you plug it into the top outlet in a 2 outlet block you can still easily plug in a lamp or other device on the other outlet underneath it, so this module can actually give you 3 outlets where you previously had 2, unlike other modules that turn your 2 outlet block into basically just 1 usable outlet.

 This is NOT a Dimmer!!!Feb 19, 2009
By Jason E. Sanabia
Warning: This model 45603 is not a Dimmer, even though it is (or was) advertised this way!!! This is only ON/OFF, which is appropriate for Appliances and Fluorescent Lighting.
The dimmer model is 45602, and this is appropriate for incandescent lamps.
 GE Z-Wave Wireless Controller Doesn't live up to its advertisingApr 14, 2012
By E. Mccloskey

I got the GE Z-Wave controller to control lights in my office. It was very expensive. $100 total for the remote control and the device that plugs into an outlet. From one side of my office to the other is approximately 25 feet. The device is plugged in at a wall which is about 25 from the office door opening. If I stand outside the door and attempt to control the lights, it fails almost 100% of the time and mutiple attempts are required to turn lights off or on. Sometimes I have to walk into the office and stretch my arm out to make it work. Contrast this with three remote controllers I got from Home Depot for $15 at Christmas to control outside Christmas lights. They work just fine. No problem at all turning the lights on/off with any one of them. The GE Z-Wave advertises that it can control multiple devices at a distance of up to 100 feet. In my experience that is a lie. Originally, I thought that I could control my office lights from downstairs (office is on the second floor). That didn't work at all even though the distance was only about 50 feet max. Then I thought that I could leave the controller on a shelf outside of the office and turn off everything as I left the office or turn on everything when entering the office. That has not work either.
I gave it one star for the excessive cost of a device that doesn't work as advertised. The cost isn't just the remote control, but also the device that plugs into the wall socket. Both were expensive. When I found that simple, inexpensive Christmas light remote controls worked fine for 15% of the cost, I felt taken by GE, a company with a big name that just doesn't live up to its reputation in this case.
I highly recommend skipping this product and looking for something else.

 Great product!Jan 26, 2012
By Alexandra Daniels
I got this product to go with my existing z-wave security system (vivint). Linked up fine. Called the security company and they added the unit to my account. Works great. Now I can turn on and off the outlet remotely for a fraction of the price I would have paid from other places. Love it!
