Hi all,
I gonna use the ZigBee nyce ceil sensors and for that I need some ZigBee repeaters so it will cover all my home.
I wanted to add some outlets, but I want them to be in wall like the fibaro modules.
Do you know any ZigBee outlet that can work with HE?
By the way, are there differrnt zigbee frequency for each region like zwave? Or tbey are all the same?
Yes, Yes, and No if you're referring to the actual device plate with the markings on it...
Biggest issues I have with it being the upper outlet is controlled, not the lower.
I much prefer the GE units
You can easily solve this problem by rotating the outlet 180 unless all your other outlets having the ground hole facing down and consistency is your thing.
Don't some people install them "ground UP" to indicate there's a switched outlet ?? As In: "There's a wall switch somewhere that controls half this outlet."
You really don't notice the writing on them at all, but the green light is very bright, and is always on. I use the "Generic Zigbee Outlet" as the device type, so there is no option to turn off the green LED, not sure if there is another way to do it. The green LED does not bother me, so I don't care, but each to their own.
Yes they are good repeaters, and you can use any decora 1-gang wall plate you want. I believe it comes with a decora 1-gang wall plate, but you do not have to use it, I did not.
If you use one of those in wall relays, you can make both controllable.
NOTE: This is one of those situations, where I strongly recommend that you use a UL certified relay - you never know what is going to be plugged in.
Make sure it can handle overloads in an acceptable manner.
I don't know if this is still true, but once upon a time, the NEC prohibited outlets with dual controllable outlets (because someone working on the outlet might think it was cold, while it is actually hot).
