Quality


Like all ge z-wave switches, it's a tight fit in a standard switch box, but the quality is worth the struggle.


Works as expected installed easy with the exception of getting the faceplate to fit against the wall.


Make sure that you do mix the power wire with the neutral.


It's the main switch (#12727), not the auxiliary (#12728), that pairs with the z-wave network and that gets programmed.

Packaging/appearance


Since this is just an add-on switch as long as you have the z-wave switch properly connected, it should just work.


Total install time of the add-on is about 15 to 20 minutes, depending or not whether you have the z-wave switch already installed.

Competitiveness


Easy to install and great addition to z-wave network.

    Watch the installation videos if unsure how to install

    My wife hates these because the switch just sticks straight out rather than indicating position of off or on like a normal light switch but it kind of has to because indicating on or off by way of switch position just doesnt work when you can control the switch remotely unless it were motorized

    The installation was a little tricky because the wiring wasnt the same as my existing switches and i got it wrong the first try


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The addon switch doesnt take a load wire where my existing did and neither of them had neutral originally

    For me it worked the first time


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Its actually better than a normal 3way switch setup because for both switches up is on and down is off


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    With a typical 3way switch pair one of them is always on when the switch is down


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I am technically inclined but i got my electrician to install these because they are not easily to install
