I purchased the plug-in dimmer. I’m using it to be able to dim a table lamp. I’m happy with it. It works as expected so far. The thing that I was not particularly happy with was getting it connected to Alexa. When trying to connect manually by adding the device (as a switch) in the Alexa app, the Alexa app insisted that I would have to download the Enbrighten app and do a set up there, after which I could return to the Alexa app to complete the set up. No, absolutely no.
I was about to return the dimmer when I tried asking Alexa to find my device, which still didn’t work, but then I moved the device closer to the router and my Echo Show (with zigbee), and finally Alexa found it. After that, I moved the dimmer to where I wanted it, and it remained connected. So, it’s possible to set this device up just having a zigbee Echo and the Alexa app. It’ll probably be necessary to ask Alexa to find the device unless you want to use the Enbrighten app (which is completely unnecessary for the dimmer).
The dimmer seems very large to me. I guess it’s as small as it can be made, but it seems big. It just barely does not block the second outlet. On my Alexa app, it connected as a switch, rather than as a plug. I’m using the dimmer with 100 watt-equivalent LED dimmer bulbs. No flickering so far.
