Quality

They have been reliable (we have a few that have been installed for over 5 years), easy to install, and work really well.

Excellent product, a bit tricky to include in your network, but once they are in they work as expected.

The instructions claim 3 additional functions with single/double/triple clicking, but the actual switch only has on/off and dim... Read More

They have been through 2 hubs, first the staples connect and now smartthings and it has been the same in both instances.

Price

Yes, but for my money this one is the leader.

I ran across these and thought i would give them a try due to their lower price.

Shipping

They processed an rma, paid for return shipping and replaced the unit promptly.

Customer service was good too when i received a defective unit.

Competitiveness

Works well with almond router and alexa.

This dimmer works perfectly with wink and the price is more reasonable.

This was my first one of these, but i actually prefer it over the ge branded zwave dimmers that i've been using.

The only problem is the white color is a little bit different than other white switch.
