I paired into my zWave network a Leviton DZR-15-1LZ Duplex Outlet. Outlet is just across the hallway from the panel (~5ft)
I have a Concord 4 Security Panel w/ADC, Zwave, etc.
I received no error lights when pairing in this new device.
It worked great when sending the ON and OFF commands from ADC web and mobile.
I added this outlet to an evening lighting rule … It did not come on (the other lights in the rule did) and it then reported a Malfunction.
This morning, I removed the device from the network; waited about 10mins, confirmed it was no longer visible in my ADC ‘Devices’ List; then re-added it to my network.
ADC assigned it another Device ID; I now see 2 in my ‘Devices’ Listing (The old ID # and now the new). The original ID reports a Malfunction - I disabled it from receiving remote commands. The new ID assigned - works - by sending ON and OFF commands. I receive no malfunction notices (as of yet). However - I created a test rule to have the device turn on. It does not work. It is as if the rule does not exist.
Any thoughts? Perhaps I purchased a ZWave outlet that is not 100% compatible?
I would say you would have better chance of success sticking to those listed on the Alarm.com hardware page. The Leviton is likely not fully compatible.
If you are gonna get the GE/Jasco zwave outlet, get it from Lowes store in the iris aisle ($34), and save yourself the $20 markup.
Personally, I went with the Evolve LDM/LPM dimmer/appliance outlet. Basically does the same thing, but you don’t have to mess with wiring, just plug it in, and go. I don’t use the dimmer function though (I have the LDM, but just use it for standard ON/OFF control to regulate lighting on aquarium). Two receptacles.
Jason & Riven - Thanks for the replies! I went to Lowe’s this evening and purchased the outlet. Installed and works perfectly! I should have checked on the Leviton compatibility before purchasing online… I let the great deal blur my common sense. LOL
Riven - I have the ‘plug in’ modules throughout the home. The bride wanted a small lamp on the kitchen counter to be part of the ‘evening lights’ schedule, but did not want the ‘plug in module’ at eye level. …Yes Dear.
…Yes Dear.
