I use a GE 12720 which is an outdoor switch that can turn the lights on and off. I got mine from Amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0013V8K3O?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00.

The GE product is not in the wink app so go to the power page and use the Leviton Plug-In Appliance Module.

Thank you for pointing those string lights out. Not only are they somewhat more cost efficient (at the current price), that product page links to this GE Z-Wave outdoor plug. It says it works with Harmony hub, which I have but I'm still not sure if:

  • The hub is inside, what will I have to do so it still sends the signal?
  • What actions can the Z-Wave plug do? If it's just on/off, is that worth it?
u/jdagoso · 2 pointsr/homeautomation

These can do up to 1800 watts resistive so should work: https://www.amazon.com/GE-45604-Technology-Outdoor-Lighting/dp/B0013V8K3O. Yuo may need to look around to find one though.

u/jryanishere · 2 pointsr/homeautomation

What's so bad about an enclosure? Anything you get outdoor and zwave will either be in an enclosure, or will be like this thing: http://www.amazon.com/GE-Wireless-Lighting-Control-Outdoor/dp/B0013V8K3O

u/thecardinal77 · 2 pointsr/amazonecho

I plugged mine into this. Works great with my smartthings hub.

I have all of my outdoor lighting automated.

  • Front Porch
  • Back Door
  • Back Deck
  • Detached Garage Light
  • Low Voltage Outdoor lighting

    In combination with a few other devices, door sensors, ring door bell for motion, garage door automation (MyQ) etc. I can setup a multitude of different scenarios. Open the front door, lights go full brightness, close door dim them back down. Motion from the ring at night, crank the brightness up. Open the garage door, turn on the light above the garage to full brightness. Most of the lights turn on about 15 mins before sunset with some nice transitions in brightness.

    I use GE Z-Wave Outdoor Modules that I plug into the low voltage transformers that are always set to the on position. That way I can just toggle the switch on thus turning on the transformer and the lights.


    In most of the outdoor fixtures I use Smart Bulbs (the lights that are shielded from the elements). My front porch I use Hue Color that I automated for holiday lights. I have a detached garage that I
    put in a Lutron Caseta dimmer since the switch was in the house.


    Essentially I used a variety of devices to tackle each lighting situation based on what would work best and then automate everything with Home Assistant. You can see all my devices and automations here.

I think you can do it using mysensors. The store lists a ACS712ELC 30A Current Sensor which you can wire in series to your load. One idea would be to mimic a http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0013V8K3O/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?qid=1453046080&sr=8-5&pi=AC_SX118_SY170_QL70&keywords=smart+receptacle+cord&dpPl=1&dpID=31v4qTEZyWL&ref=plSrch or Aeon Labs DSC06106-ZWUS - Z-Wave Smart Energy Switch. You can do this by cutting an extension cable with one side going to the wall receptacle and the other to your load and all the electronics i n the middle. Need an arduino pro mini, radio, 110-5v, the current sensor, and a box to make it look nice.

Home assistant will interface with all sorts of products you can look at the Home Assistant website to see all things it interfaces with.

I will also say that this is the most active community and the fastest to incorporate new products. Over the last five months I have been tinkering with HA many new products have been incorporated.


As for the Iris Smart Plug it is a zigbee device that contains a Zwave radio. It will connect to your Zwave network and be an always on device (meaning that it will extend the reach of your mesh network) but you will not be able to control the on and off of the plug. I have two of them and they work great if you use something that has Zigbee radio.
If you are only going to utilize the Z-Stick you will want to use something like one of the following:

[Leviton VRPD3-1LW Vizia RF] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JFF4RG4/ref=twister_B01JJKURQS?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1) I have this one for my Christmas tree

GE Lighting Lamp Module with Dimmer Controller

[GE Z-Wave Wireless Lighting Control Outdoor Module] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0013V8K3O/ref=twister_B017SOTBJG?_encoding=UTF8&th=1) I have a few of these outside

As for the GE Duplex outlet, I have one or two of them but I really like the design and functionality of the Leviton VRR15-1LZ Vizia RF + Split Duplex Receptacle better.

As for light bulbs, I own Hue, Link, Cree, and maybe one more. They are all Zigbee bulbs so I connect them to the Hue hub and let it interface with HA. They work fine for my uses but I really don't care about the colors. When Lifx put its bulbs on sale a few weeks ago I almost bought some of the BR30 but didn't because they don't interface with Home Kit. I really don't need them since the fixtures already have a zwave switch but I thought it would be nice to change colors if I wanted to. Also I have found that some of the Zigbee bulbs loose the connection with the hub if they are turned on and off from a switch. I was hoping the Lifx being wifi would not do that.

Would anyone be interested in some youtube videos explaining my setup and discussing my experiences with products?

u/nrcaldwell · 1 pointr/Abode

I use a GE outdoor module in my basement. My Yale lock isn't on it but it works with my other Zwave switches down there. It's ugly so if you need to put it somewhere visible the GE indoor lamp module would probably work as well.

u/dougc84 · 1 pointr/SmartThings

Personally, I've not had good luck with GE devices. I have an outdoor switch (this one: https://www.amazon.com/GE-Wireless-Lighting-Control-Required/dp/B0013V8K3O ), two wall switches, and one wall dimmer. The outdoor switch (the only one I still have installed) goes offline about once or twice a month for seemingly no reason even though it has direct line of sight to the hub (with the only obstruction being a glass window).

Now, that's me. It could just be my home layout. But I've had much better luck with Homeseer products (WS-100 and WD-100), though I don't know if they make an outdoor appliance switch, like the one you linked.

u/0110010001100010 · 1 pointr/homeassistant

So I guess I'm still not sure what you are actually after. Just a waterproof wifi plug? If so I'm not aware of such a thing.

That being said, what about something like this? https://smile.amazon.com/GoControl-Z-Wave-Isolated-Contact-Fixture/dp/B00ER6MH22

Or maybe this: https://smile.amazon.com/GE-Wireless-Lighting-Control-Outdoor/dp/B0013V8K3O/

u/jam905 · 1 pointr/homeautomation

It may cover the WeMo plug, but I doubt it'll have sufficient depth for the WeMo and the plug that plugged into the WeMo. For an outdoor installation, I'd recommend a z-wave solution like GE outdoor z-wave outlets. Off course, it does mean that you'll need a z-wave hub ...

u/responsible_dave · 1 pointr/xbmc

I was thinking something like this
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0013V8K3O/ref=pe_385040_30332200_TE_item

But you need something that can send signals via Z-wave, like the veralite. Going through a rasberry pi would also probably work for you for somewhat cheaper, but somewhat more tinkering and work. Although I wouldn't be surprised if someone else has already done something similar. It mostly depends on what else you want to automate I'd say.

u/i_am_j11 · 1 pointr/smarthome

I'm not sure what existing system you have already... but here's how I would do it.

Leave the switch in the ON position 24/7.

For the GFCI outlet, depending on how you would use it and if you want control over it, I would get this GE z wave outdoor dongle.
http://www.amazon.com/GE-Wireless-Lighting-Control-Outdoor/dp/B0013V8K3O

For lights, I would get either the GE Link bulbs or Wemo bulbs, or Philips Hue. With its respective hub (or Smartthings Hub), you're able to control the lights thru your phone.

u/awfulposter · 1 pointr/HomeImprovement

Not looking for lights, I plan to use bulb string lights. I'm in need of something like this ( http://www.amazon.com/GE-Wireless-Lighting-Control-Outdoor/dp/B0013V8K3O) to use on an outdoor light. The one I linked does not provide the dimming feature. The main question I have is finding one that works with multiple LED lights without causing a flicker.

u/ekzoo85 · 1 pointr/SmartThings

I personally have used both the Leviton smart plug, but have come to actually like the Inovelli one as you can control both sides = more Christmas lights :)

As for outdoor, GE seems to be the only one out there now, but supposedly per Inovelli's Facebook page, they are coming out with one soon.

Here's the link to both the Leviton one I've used as well as the Inovelli one (indoor):

As for setting the sunset/sunrise -- that can be done via the Smart Lights SmartApp within the ST app (Marketplace > SmartApps > SmartThings Recommends > Smart Lights)

Lastly, as for the space heater -- I would advise against that as if the plug doesn't turn off or it tips over, it could cause a fire :/ -- but if you really want to, just check the Maximum Rating on various smart plugs and make sure your space heater does not exceed it.
