I installed couple of these as a tester before purchasing more. So far it has been working as desired. Here's my feedback and observation so far after a week's use

1. Built and looks are good.

2. One of the outlets is a Z-Wave outlet and another one is always on pass thru

3. Pairing with Z-wave is really simple and takes less than a minute for complex setup and few seconds for a simple remote. If you have a Harmony 890/1000 remote you will be able to use it without any gateway as well.

4. Z-wave outlet let's you Dim the lights including letting you control from your remote or on the module

5. Load Sense feature, which is disabled by default, can be enabled to let you use it without any remote or Z-wave interface. You can simply power-on your Lamp and module will sense the load of the lamp and simply powers it on. This is a good feature case you have a not so technically savvy person at home or have younger kids or even with guests do it the traditional way.

6. It does not seem GE makes it and seems a OEM brand. Other brands are also selling, like homepro, that seems very much alike but I have not used others yet.

7. Can be combined with several scenes to watch TV and dim lights. Before going to bed or leaving the house a single click/buttin will ensure that everything is powered off.

Cons:

1. I really wish that both the outlets were Z-wave

2. Little complex to enable Load Sense

3. Manual is just piece of paper ready to be recycled specifically advanced configuration and commands

4. Tech support is technically challenged and you may feel that you may know more than them. By the time they get back to you may have already resolved the problem just with the help of your own skills or or just by Google.

Other Thoughts:

1. Z-Wave outlet: This is a Lamp Module with Dimmer and should not be used for constant current required devices like an "Air Conditioner" or coffee maker.

2. Does work with Dimmable CFL although at "very low" settings you notice flickering effect but that is no fault of either devices. This is how CFL is supposed to behave (for now)

3. There is a Soft fuse instead of wired traditional fuse good for resets case something goes wrong but I am little skeptical for now.

Hope this will help you find what you're looking for.

my husband and I bought the starter kit, a remote, a few extra modules and a thermostat and light switch. He found something that gives us a year free of the Nexia (formerly Schlage link) subscription and it was cheaper than us buying the vera and the individual pieces. After that we are going to be getting a vera bridge because it's basically the same service and you don't have to pay a service fee. It was awesome because he ordered it while he was deployed and turned the light on and off and dimmed it while in Singapore! How cool is that!!! The girls in the apartment complex are jealous too lol

Despite all the warnings and the product manual, I've been using this product successfully with LED bulbs. I've 4 Philips Endura LED (7W, dimmable) bulbs wired to these dimmer modules, and they are working perfectly.

Honest reviews on GE 45602 Z-Wave Technology Lamp Module Dimmer, White

Recently bought a few of these and they dont work. All four in this shipment were labeled Ver 3.0d with Date Code 1243 and have the same issue. When sending the OFF command from the controller, this unit dims a bit then go to full brightness about 80% of the time. This makes them pretty much useless. Had no issues with a previous batch I bought which were all labled Ver 3.0a. Will be following up with Jasco/GE to ensure that I dont get another set from the same defective batch. Plus points for a great product at a good pricepoint. Negative points for a defective batch and poor Quality Contol.
