Home Dimmer Module

I got this out of desperation after my Schlage lock didn’t pair with my Wink hub. As a repeater, I figured it should strengthen the signal between the hub and the lock, enabling all the Wink functionality. Unfortunately, or rather very fortunately, I’ve not had a chance to check the repeater function because the Wink hub and lock started working well after a couple of hours (It’s important to have the hub just a few feet from the lock during the initial pairing. After that, you can move the hub away.) As a lamp dimmer, this works well, and at $20 is about half the price of a Leviton. One irksome issue was that the instructions gave no information on how to put the dimmer into pairing mode. Here’s how I got it paired with Wink: - Put the Wink hub into the “include” mode - Push the dimmer’s button 2 times - Wait for the Wink hub light to turn blue again The dimmer paired as a generic light bulb.

Purchased a few of these and they all seem to work just fine with my Vera Lite controller. They work OK with regular incandescent and also with dimmable LEDs. They paired OK with the controller and have been functioning properly as part of scenes. They also work OK with the GE hand-held remote controller. Great price compared to the GE brand, for the same identical device!

I'm happy with the fact that the product works as expected. The price was fair, especially since, when I received it, seems like it was a used product. It was dirty looking, almost like oil or something had soaked into the white casing. I attempted to clean it, but it would not come off at all. I was close to returning it solely on that, however it has been working quite well since I've had it, so for the price paid, I've decided to hang onto it and hope it continues to work for years to come. *fingers crossed*

Several reviews claim this does not work with the Wink hub. This is incorrect. It works perfectly with the Wink hub. You add this as a Generic Z-Wave Light. Once the Wink hub is in pairing mode, push the button on the Dimmer Module twice (i.e. double click). The Wink app may not automatically proceed to the final step which states the device was added successfully. However, if you back out to the main Wink menu and enter the "Lights & Power" submenu, then you'll see the new light added where you can control power and dimming.

Bought this as a repeater rather than a dimmer module. But plugged it into a garage light just because it was out there. Connected easily to my SmartThings hub, and has worked fine as a repeater so I can reliably control my outdoor pool equipment. There was one unexpected issue, and hence the knock in the star, is that all the pictures show a three pronged plug. As I determined (and the accompanying instructions confirm), the three prong plug is pass through only. There is another two prong plug that is controlled. So if you have a three prong device you need to plug in (like I did), either ground per code, or move on. Perhaps they sent me the wrong model? If not, the advertising seems misleading. If you have a two prong device, this issue will not matter to you.

Not only can you control a lamp with this module but, it serves as a range extender for your bridge. These modules need to be worked into every system to enhance coverage & dependability. But, will not extend signal for video cameras. They are WiFi and require an extender that will work with your WiFi router!

This module does work with Wink! This is a solid simple, and affordable lighting module that preforms well with the Wink App! I am using iw wit a Wink Hub and have not had any issues with it.

Dead after a couple years. Worked great for the first few. Now it doesn’t work with SmartThings. I tried unpairing and re-pairing. Doesn’t work. Save your money. Don’t buy Schlage.
