Enbrighten Z-Wave Add-On Switch, Paddle, White & Light Almond, 1 Pack | Not for Standalone Use, Pair with other Enbrighten Z-Wave Switches for 3-Way Setup, Interchangeable Paddles

This review is for the Add-On Switch, which works as a "slave" in a 3-way setup with a second Enbrighten switch, which works as the "master." I found it easy to install myself and works like a charm. A few notes: The "master" switch must receive power from the breaker panel. So, you need a tester to ensure you know which switch is receiving power from the breaker. I have two of these 3-way setups at my house and in both cases it was the switch farthest away from the breaker that was receiving power from the breaker, and hence the master switch must go there. The add-on switch is installed in the secondary switch location. The master switch is also the switch that you'll add to your smart home setup. I'm using SmartThings, and adding the master switch was as easy as scanning the QR code. No need to do it again with the add-on switch. The dimmer control is nice: just hold the up or down paddle for a moment and the light will dim. Of course, you can also ask Alexa to dim the lights.

This aux add on simplifies the 3 way smart switch configuration. I have Inovelli switches and you csn use the old slave dumb switch with it. However with all the variants of 3 way wiring configurations I only got the dumb switch to work 1 out of 4 times. Not very good hit rate. I chalked it up to not knowing exactly which 3 way wiring configuration I had in order to wire the dumb switch properly. I finally dumped that and got this aux switch and it works every time and it's the same wiring configuration for me. One I identify the main master switch, the hot line on master, and the load line on the slave, it's fairly easy. Plus this aux switch has the same click feel as my dimmer inovelli smart switch and had added benefit of being able to use the inovelli disable local control at the slave switch. If you have inovli switches and want to use local control disablement you need this, it will not work with a dumb switch (tried it). Long story short, this is a good switch and I'm getting more.

Very good IOT device. NOT A STANDALONE Switch!! I use with a 3-way wall switch from Enbrighten. I have had many of these in use over the past 5 years and have had no failures. They do require a hub. Mine is a SMARTTHINGS hub. Most Zigbee devices are repeaters that extend your range throughout your house. I used this with the Enbrighten smart switch 700 Series, 58433.

Works well.

This Enbrighten Ad-on switch is very useful if you would like to control your smart switches from multiple locations. The QuickFit design makes it easier to get it installed because it's 20% smaller and there are not any annoying break-off tabs like the older models. 1. INSTALLATION - it's very important to note that you MUST have a Neutral cable in your electrical box for this Ad-on switch to work, otherwise it will not work. The package comes with detailed instructions in english and Spanish so make sure you follow along. I'm not an electrician but I've switched plenty of switches in the past so I didn't find it difficult to install, but your mileage may vary. 2. COMPATIBILITY - I've only used this switch with GE/Enbrighen switches, but you can use this ad-on switch to compliment another Enbrighen/GE Zigbee, Z-wave or Wi-fi switch. This Ad-on switch will not work by itself so you have to use another main switch. 3. USABILITY - Use this switch to control Smart Lights, Ceiling Fans or Pumps. It's a toggle switch, so you gently press it once to either turn on/off the lights and keep the toggle pressed to dim/brighten the lights. I use SmartThings to control my main switch and it works perfectly fine, so as long as your Main switch is paired with a hub, then you should not have to do any additional configuration for the Ad-on switch.

I used this as an extension/remote for a Inovelli Matter switch. Works without issues. I wasn't able to get a standard switch working despite trying various wiring combinations and settings. I believe the firmware was updated on the Inovelli White switches since then and might have better settings now that could work with traditional switches. This was a fairly low cost option to solve my problem and dimmer seems to work as well.

This thing is useless and does not function as advertised. All other add-on switches I've used have had the benefit of functioning wirelessly through the Z-wave network to control this master switch, but this one actually requires you to physically connect the two. The whole reason I purchased this was so that I didn't have to run an additional wire through multiple floors and ductwork just to control another switch. The listing makes no mention of connecting this. I wish I would have tried to install it when I purchased it because now I can't even get my money back. Switches I bought almost a decade ago easily accomplish what this thing cannot.

Works well with GE's older switches! responds quickly and easy to install

Work good and good price

This thing cannot join the wifi with a pass phrase containing space nor with qr code. Does not work, poor instructions and i want to be reimbursed asap.
