I find these to be much better looking than a plug in device, and @ $30, this is a pretty good price (IMO) for an in-wall device from a reputable brand. Outlet Here!
Related to this, if you're a Costco member keep an eye on their site, as they sell the Honeywell branded version of this same switch and frequently have the dimmers and switches marked down.
I actually haven't looked at that device but I believe Hubitat has and said it is a weirdly designed device in that it doesn't report status directly back to the hub. If I remember right it was more designed for direct association use, not hub use.
But they seem to emphasize the "no hub" side a bit...
No Hub Necessary – The remote allows you to create up to two scenes to control smart devices with or without a Z-Wave hub. It is able to directly pair with Z-Wave switches, dimmers, fan controls and more simple-setup home automation. Solo- and quad-scene models – 34172 and 34176 – are also available for even more varied automation.
I've not specifically looked for this, but don't remember seeing it available. Thinking about it, either a cost issue (more $$) to control both outlets, or code/safety/legal issue - need to have at least one plug always working so no one sues you when you can't turn on the plug in some unknown life-threatening situation where power is required.
Yeah I added a couple of these to my cart. I've never used them, but thought I'd try them as I'm not really keen on the contact sensors on the doors now. They seem a bit "fiddly".
Yes - because I remember someone (perhaps @mike.maxwell) saying that. It is not a button device, so button presses are not seen by the hub. More of a scene controller.
Aside from the confusion it's causing us, think of the poor uncontrolled outet having to hear "I have Z-Wave 'cause Mom liked me best!" from the Z-Wave outlet.
