Schlage seems to be the big fish in the pond.Is there a recommended brand/type of multi-sensor (motion and light, preferably) that doesn’t break the bank?.Do they suppress redundant signals? (this would be bad).They seem to have a pair of buttons, one for On and one for Off (this is good).
So the Double Duty SmartApp doesn’t work, because the command toggles on every pressįrom what I can tell, the GE Z-wave multi-way dimmer switches (which I don’t own) are well-liked.They don’t support dimming or 3-way switches.The WeMo switches have been good so far, but: My wife bought me into the ecosystem for Christmas with three WeMo switches, two WeMo outlets, and the SmartThings Starter Kit. I’m deeply curious about this topic as well. I guess I’ll stick with those bulbs for now. But can’t always get what you want.īased on your brand specific notes, it sounds like I made the right decision with the Osram lightify bulbs…I have had zero problems with them and I use IFTTT, Echo, timed events and routines, and never have issues. I’m considering the Aeon labs one because the controller is built inline with the cord, so it doesn’t block your outlet…though, it does have a 90 degree plug, which still makes it a bit of a pain (in my case). I’m trying to see who has had any problems so I know what to avoid. Me personally, I have loved the WEMO Insight pocket socket…up until I started experiencing overheating issues, and now I’m having issues with connectivity…like you mentioned, this may happen with WIFI connected devices (maybe it’s a DHCP thing…?). I’m mostly asking just to see who’s had the best experience and personal use with the different brands. I don’t have a house, just a small apartment, so I’m not planning on buying an army of smart “pocket sockets” or bulbs. Wow, awesome, thanks for the response I mentioned before, cost and aesthetics aren’t big deals for me.
