“Good very robust solid switch unit that is safe to put into your airing cupboard for your immersion heater. Overkill maybe, but 3 KW at 240Volts needs a suitable solution. Using it with C7 Hubitat. I want ALL the available variables for power monitoring and only some appearing default without the usual faffing.. I am using ALEXA to schedule water heating on / off.. and so far, it is working a treat.”
“Bought this to control my immersion tank, works really well, when it arrived it was quite large but considering it can do 40amp it’s a decent u it! It’s a shame no one makes a 20 amp zwave switch but this one is in a cupboard and works great!”
“Bought this to control the 3.3kw car charger fitted to the garage so it's only powered up when the cars home.
Easy to install and setup and I now don't have to worry about people stealing my electric when I'm out.”
“After having various issues with other switches to control a 3kw immersion being at their limit (which were designed for that purpose such as SIR 321), I decided to abandon physical on switch boost etc, which I rarely used anyway and install this instead.
The Aeotec Heavy Duty switch has been 100% reliable and is a really good repeater for other devices too.
I just wish I had made the change sooner. I'd definitely recommend this not only for 3KW (which is only really 9a in the UK, but voltage variability alters this), but definitely for its main intended purpose indoors or outdoors.
If I installed an electric car charger i'd very likely install one of these, triggered on proximity/geolocation to disable the external charging plug capability when I was away from home.”
“A huge device, but it needs to be to be able to handle up to 40A!
Great for anything with power draw over what a normal Z-Wave socket or module can handle. Using several of these for remote switching and power monitoring of immersion heaters and overnight storage heaters.
Also has double-pole switching which is a bonus!
Only issue is there's no local control (other than the internal "action" button) but really it's not designed for local control as you'd typically be switching via Z-Wave in response to a schedule or event.”
