“I bought this to control my above ground swimming pool pump and heater. Together they can range up to 10 Amps. The module is certainly larger than I imagined but that wasn't an issue. It's mounted inside a loft cavity, screwed to a joist. The terminals are substantial and easily took the 2.5mm wires. Once wired, it easily paired with my Samsung SmartThings. I've since set up a schedule on SmartThings and it's been faultless in the month of operation. It's not clear why there's a button to operate it when the button is not accessible with the cover on, but perhaps it's just for testing. Would definitely buy another if I need to control a lot of amps. As an added bonus the module also continuously reports kW consumption, and also the total kWh periodically. So now, I've been able to calculate how much it costs to run the equipment attached. Excellent piece of kit.”
“Great product.
The terminals are fiddly and this is totally an oversight for such a nice product. I have taken one star off only for this reason. I actually like that the manual button is inside the cover. However, if you need to reach this button, the live terminals are only centimetres away.
Solution: I recommend that the cover be two parts. One cover to cover up the manual override button. The second piece of cover to access the terminals. Terminal connectors just about accepts large cables but the connectors can be further improved.
Performance: Definitely 5 Stars! It does a perfect job. I have not pushed it to its limit yet. It does not heat up. That is a good sign. Recommended, as the performance is superlative.”
“Works well. Gives peace of mind that in event of fire or when we're on holiday I can kill the power. I have one of these for each of our oven, microwave, washing machine, tumbler, immersion heater and patio heaters. It reports energy usage which HomeSeer records and displays too. Three downsides.
1. The button for linking to your zwave network is inside the box. Sparkies don't like leaving 45A circuits open for you to poke your fingers in.
2. Again, that same button can turn it on/off but is only inside. That means we had to fit separate manual isolators to satisfy sparky.
3. Despite being zwave+ I could only get these to add to HomeSeer properly if I moved my znet to be in the same room as them. Not had a problem with any other zwave+ devices. Minor inconvenience and once set up they seem maintenance free so far.
Overall, very pleased.”
“This unit has worked without a hitch since it was installed and linked to a VeraEdge Controller. I have fitted two to a boiler with two immersion heaters. Since the units are located in a cupboard with the boiler, I use the internal thermometer in the unit to turn on the immersion heater when the cupboard temperature drops below a certain level.
Only four stars given because there is no measure of power consumption with the standard VeraEdge installer - unless someone can tell me differently.”
