From the Manufacturer

Forget to turn on the porch light at night? With GE's Z-Wave Outdoor Module you can control your outdoor lighting from the comfort of your home. Z-Wave is a radio frequency, mesh network technology specifically designed for use in residential lighting control. Every Z-Wave enabled wall switch is capable of relaying commands and utilizes two-way communications to ensure reliable operation throughout the entire home. The open-air, line-of-sight transmission distance is up to 100 feet between devices. Actual performance in a home will depend on the number of walls between the remote controller and the destination device, the type of construction and the number of devices installed in the system. The device's ability to relay commands and acknowledge receipt of commands makes Z-Wave an ideal solution for automating and controlling lighting systems.

Great for Smartthings Control of Christmas Lights

Great for Smartthings Control of Christmas Lights
Over the past few years I've been working to turn our home into a "smart home". The one area I have not tackled, until now, has been outside. All of our indoor lights are controlled via our Smartthings Hub and various Z-Wave outlets and Zigbee lightbulbs. So this year when we put up our Christmas lights, and our solar powered outdoor plug died on us, I had to come up with a solution. The GE Z-Wave Outdoor control module was my choice. I purchased one for the front and back of our home and hoped for the best. Pairing was very simple. The Smartthings hub found them as a "new device" as soon as I plugged the modules in. After that it was just a matter of working them into our lighting scheme and our Christmas lights are now fully controlled from inside our home.It's great being able to set a very precise schedule for turning the lights on and off based on our needs, and having the flexibility and access without needing to physically be in contact with the lights.The construction of these modules seems pretty substantial. There's just one outlet on each and a plug to cover that outlet if it's not in use. The materials were a bit confusing as they state that these should not be used outside in very in-climate weather, yet they're outdoor modules. Shouldn't they be able to withstand a good rain storm? Blizzard? I am going to take the chance and use them all holiday season regardless of the weather situation and see what happens. The module out back is not protected from the elements in any way, but the front one is under our porch cover. If I have any issues with them I will be sure to update this review to reflect them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Built well, and works well w/ my Z-wave system
Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2013
Verified Purchase
My MiCasaVera system was very easy to add this unit in to. I use it to control a bug zapper  Flowtron BK-15D Electronic Insect Killer, 1/2 Acre Coverage  so it only goes on at dusk, and off in the AM. Though it's certainly not cheap at around $50, it is something you can hold in your hand and recognize "ok, this is built well." The grounded plug is able to be plugged into my in-use (covered) GFCI, and not block the outlet or the reset buttons, and the female receptacle seems well engineered in its slightly recessed location, and the rubber flap to cover it when not using it (though I don't know why you'd have the Z-wave adapter plugged in) is also well made. There are strain reliefs built into the cord at both the male plug end and the z-wave adapter end.

Anecdotally, however this thing is engineered, it also rarely (if ever) trips the very sensitive GFCI I have it plugged into (whereas plugging in, or turning on certain things that are plugged into this outlet, often trip it). My outlet itself might be slowly failing, but I thought it's worth mentioning that if you're reluctant to put a switch on an outdoor load plugged into a GFCI, thinking that adding more "hard" switches on/off to that GFCI in the form of a z-wave adapter would be a bad idea, it has been smooth sailing for me with this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works like a champ / integrated seamlessly with existing Vivint alarm system
Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2013
Verified Purchase
First off, this is cheaper than the standard indoor Z-Wave small appliance outlet. The only difference beyond the "outdoor" (better seals) characteristic, is that this unit doesn't have a variable output (dimming) feature. Which is fine since we've never utilized this function.
Once unpackaged, I plugged it into an open AC outlet and went to the alarm system control panel and told it I wanted to add a switch. As soon as the link button on the module was pressed, the control panel immediately beeped and recognized the new device. That was it! The remote outlet was ready to be moved to its permanent location. And because it's recognized by the alarm system, it can be controlled and automated like any other device as if it were part of the original setup.
Two of the great selling points of Z-Wave devices: 1. I haven't found one that is incompatible with our existing network, and; 2. the Z-Wave network is bidirectional. A wireless 802.11a/b/g/n network range is limited by the router's transmission radius, but Z-Wave uses each component as a repeater. The control panel is not a limiting factor because each device can relay communications from any other device as long as one of them in the chain is close enough to link with the control panel.
For the sake of full disclosure, we're not using this outside and cannot attest to how it stands up to the elements. But since it works so well, we may be getting a couple more for some project ideas and I'll let you know how they work out if that comes to be. Feel free to submit any questions or comments and I'll definitely try to help.
Cheers!

4.0 out of 5 stars Works better than Intermatic products
Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2012
Verified Purchase
But saying that, I have had some problems with these outdoor modules. I have 3 of them and two have exhibited problems: One was DOA out of the package - nothing worked, including manually. One quit after about a year - can't turn it off wirelessly but everything else works.
I am using six GE plug-in appliance and lamp modules and they are all working fine. So far.

About Intermatic or Wayne-Dalton units: I have experienced nearly a 50% failure rate on all of the Intermatic and Wayne-Dalton modules after 2 years. The failures have been total RF transceiver failure (no communication at all), will not turn off wirelessly or will not turn on wirelessly. The ones that manage to get past the initial 1-2 years of use usually keep working, however. I even installed a whole-house surge suppressor - no improvement. Naturally, they quit after all warranties are long gone.

That's why I have been changing over to GE as the others die hoping for better reliability but now I am begining to wonder if all versions of these modules might have issues.

I have a couple of the light switch dimmer modules (the ones that replace 2 or 3 way wall switches - they are brands other than Intermatic or Wayne-Dalton) and have had no issues.

What's interesting is that the Intermatic controllers appear to work fine. I have one that's nearly 8 years old that still works great. However, the GE controller is easier to program and use.

Addendum 11/23/2012: the second GE 45604 unit is now not usable. I can't turn it on wirelessly, only off.
Note the addendum below.

Addendum 3/31/2013: Fortunately I did not toss any of the "defective" units. Instead I used the GE 45601 remote control and all but one of the "bad" units worked. It would seem that 90% of my problems were the controller and not the modules so I strongly recommend NOT using the Intermatic controller but use the GE.

IMPORTANT: you have to "DELETE" all of the modules from the network of the old controller (remove the pairing) before attempting to pair it with a new controller. If you don't, you will find that the module will not respond. I have never seen anyone mention this critical requirement.

Note: the GE instructions are not 100% perfect. When setting the on/off times for groups, make sure that when you select the correct group that you want to program since it defaults to group 1. They do not mention anything about this.

5.0 out of 5 stars 1 year in and this never stops, great for christmas lights
Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2017
Verified Purchase
I have been using this with a SmartThings hub for over a year now and it has worked 100% of the time. It was first set up on some out door christmas decorations, but after the holidays I took it inside and hooked it to a string of christmas lights I left up in my house as nice evening lighting. Connecting to the hub was easy, and I have a schedule set to have it come on at sundown, and off at 10:30PM. This has worked every night with no missed times. This plug is kind of large so and they put the screw hole in a strange spot but it was working even in the real cold and snowy weather, where I have had some switch plugs fail when it is too cold. If you have an outdoor application for automation and a SmartThings hub this will work good. I do wish the plug was more protected or flush with the end but its good for my use.

I'm using this for my outdoor Christmas lighting and it really works very well. It paired with the system easily when I originally set it up and was automatically recognized several weeks later when I installed it outside. It doesn't appear to be affected by the cold, continuing to work in temps approaching -20C. It's only slightly more expensive than the "regular" rimers and much more convenient.

**UPDATE**
I've had this for about 4 years now, it's located outside year round and still works great.
***************
I had no problem adding this to my ADT Pulse system, just like I'm sure it would add to any Z Wave system. The product is a little bulky, but it is rated for the outdoors hence the extra protection I'm assuming. I've been using it daily for about 3 months and so far there is no issue, we will see how it will fair over the winter months. The quality of the plug and outlet is very good, not flimsy at all.

This device works perfectly, paired very well with Samsung Smart Hub.
I used this device to turn on exterior propane heaters based on temperature, however the manufacturer indicates that it will work to as cold as 14*F or -10*C. They actually work to about -20*C, however any colder than that, and the relays do not respond any longer, seeing as my intended use was for these to switch on at colder than -25*C, they do not work for me.

The good very reliable, well build and easy to setup and use with Samsung Smart Hub.
