ENERWAVEZWN-RSM2-PLUS Z-Wave Plus Switch Module, Dual Relay, Smart Hidden Switch, NEUTRAL WIRE REQUIRED, Black

I used this to automate a ceiling fan/light via my Smartthings Z Wave Hub. I took me about 6 hours over 3 days to figure how to program it but the Smartthings community and the Github website were both of enormous help. I programmed it, got it associated to the Hub, and discovered by my Amazon Echo yesterday then installed it in the fan today. Said the magic words "Alexa turn on the Living Room Fan" and I'm doing a happy dance cause it worked. I don't have speed control but I always use it on high and I can use the pull chain if I want to change speed. I then sat down and ordered one more to do another fan. I had also ordered an Aeotec DSC-17103 dual relay and I like this Enerwave a lot better, it appears to be better built and I have read some reviews that indicate the contact screws used on the Aeotec won't take 14 gauge wire and strip out easily. This Enerwave design is a lot better. I am going to program the Aotec next and I'll review that when I'm done.

This switch is a bit buggy. It will work well for a while, then decide it doesn't want to turn off by the wall switch. When this happens it will report itself as off through zwave. The only way to get it to go off is to turn it on through zwave, then turn it off again. The next day it works fine. This is not good for the WAF. The switch should just work. So as far as this goes, it is a fail. It may be worth a little more to try one of the Aeon Labs models.Update:I bought this to control my ceiling fan and light as well. When I installed it, turning on the fan resulted in buzzing and popping coming from the switch and feeling back through my computer speakers for a second. Then it would calm down. It would also sometimes cause the light to come on. I contacted the manufacturer (not the seller, who was perfectly responsive) who told me this noise was normal. Not satisfied with that I began doing some additional research. This switch is rated for 4 amps per switch. Turns out the average ceiling fan draws 0.4 to 0.6 amps depending on the speed setting. The problem comes from the fact that the motor is an inductive load, so when it starts up it draws 10 to 15 times that. This is is why it was overloading when I turned it on. This is also why none of the other zwave switches like this support this type of load. The fact this switch claims to support it is concerning. When I told the manufacturer - they stopped responding to my communications. So beware of this switch if you plan to use it for a fan. My switch also didn't want to turn off sometimes, which in hindsight may be related to the overloading. Top greener returned my money and I went with an aeon labs model for the light only. It works perfectly. In the meantime I will continue to await a better fan/light combo solution.

I bought this to use in the tight switch boxes where the builder's electrician used the switch box as a junction box. The Z-wave and Zigbee are so deep there wasn't room to use them.Don't waste the investment on this poorly designed product. Product didn't even make it 24 hours before the relay didn't have enough power to turn off the connected lights. Add in that it took 22 times to get the product to be detected by my hub and normally took 1-2 minute before responding to commands, I wouldn't suggest anyone use this unless you are going to put in a dedicated junction box and easy access to replace it every few days.If not for the clear screen printing on the switch and straight forward install steps I would have given is 0 stars if I could.

Do yourself a favor... Run the neutral wire and avoid purchasing this and patch the wall if necessary. This is a very tight fit even with the smallest of regular switches. Works well for applications that do not require a switch. If you have OCD people in Family this will drive them off the edge of the cliff (‘on’ and ‘off’ labeling with switch status does not match actual status) Also had issues connecting to hub. Use plastic box and not metal. Make sure antenna has good position outside of box. RSM2 needs multichannel capability and switching relay only activated aux 1. Check the amperage required by ceiling fan and or a bank of lights. RSM2 is 4amps per channel and RSM1 is 10amps. Relays are flaky when operating with switch and do not like fast switching and get confused. Switch status does not sync well with SmartThings but this could be because of antenna positioning. Does act as a repeater. Another issue is the gauge of the wires do not match. Neutral and Switch wire are a much thinner thickness (did not measure). I landed up returning. RSM1 might be better option for operating ceiling fan if you can get antenna out of metal assembly or metal box and again you need the neutral wire.

Wiring the unit isn't all too difficult. Load goes to the lights and aux connects to the wall switches. After hooking it up, I could hear both relays work using the wall switch, and the lights turned on and off as expected.The problem occurred after linking to my Smartthings Hub. I did is the included instructions indicated, and pressed the sync button; my hub then was able to see ONE new device. I connected the device and it works great at controlling the light on Load 1, but now Load 2 doesn't work at all- neither through controlling through the switch nor trying to find it on the Z Wave network. Ultimately, I had to give up on the second control, and unwired Load 2. Load 1 still works fine though.UPDATE:After Emailing Tech Support, they sent me special instructions to add to to the SmartHub to enable both relays... Works great! There are just some extra steps to get it working with the Samsung Smartthings Hub.

No funcionó, el segundo switch no respondió correctamente a los comandos de un wink hub y terminó pegándose en encendido. Quería ordenar otro pero me suben el precio 150 más y aparte solo me van a reembolsar 950 de 1050 que pague. No valió la pena ni la perdida de Tiempo para subir a la escalera y ponerlo en la lámpara para que no funcionara. Tuve que poner otro de otra marca sencillo y unir las dos lámparas para salir del Paso.

These relays worked well for about 2 weeks... then they will randomly ignore the control signal. Every other z-wave device I have works fine, just these seem to fall off the mesh or ignore control commands. Too bad. They are very small and fit well in fixtures.
