Questions and Answers for GE Z-Wave 600-Watt Outdoor Plug-In On/Off Module Switch

A:  No, this simply enabled the outlet to be Z-Wave compatible.

A:  Hi Jazz, great question! Yes. All Z-Wave AC Powered products are required to be repeaters and extend the Z-Wave network it is apart of.

A:  Hi Don, great question! The GE 12720 is a Z-Wave product. It connects wirelessly through a different frequency and protocol from Wi-Fi. The 12720 must first be connected to a Z-Wave Controller or hub (such as Wink) and the hub will then connect to your internet router either through Wi-Fi or wired Ethernet connection (depending on the hubs features) If the 12720 is not within range of the Wink hub, or other Z-Wave devices that are connected to the Wink hub, then the 12720 will not be able to be controlled wirelessly.

A:  This is the outdated 12720 that does have the right angle plug. The modern 14284 has a straight plug but you have to buy it from Lowes since Home Depot only cares this older model.

A:  Hello, great question! The new 500 series does have a straight plug and the older 300 series has the right angled plug.

A:  Hello Sjones, great question. The limit of how many devices that can be controlled is determined by the Hub/Controller. It would be necessary to consult documentation of the Hub/Controller you are using to identify how many devices can be controlled at once.

A:  Only if you are controlling them via certain hubs which support that. This does not have ZWave Plus like the 14284 and doe not support scenes. It does support beaming.

The cord is approximately 5 inches in length. If you have any further questions please contact our Customer Service department at 800.654.8483.

A:  Safety, it needs to be waterproof and by the fact that you do not know that mean you are probably not qualified to safely change it without causing a hazardous condition.

A:  Hi David, we do not offer a double receptacle 'Z-Wave 600-Watt Outdoor Plug-In On/Off Module Switch' on Homedepot.com. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you in the future. Thank you for shopping Home Depot!

A:  It could still work. I run a short outdoor rated cord from the in use style covered GFCI up to under my 2 foot eaves with a loop at the bottom for safety. I use coaxial staples to secure the cords to the siding so it doe not hang out where it can get wet. I have the splitter under the eaves and as close to the house as possible and secured in place. I then run another outdoor rated cord to each light set. Some of my light have built-in Wi-Fi and other do not but I would get the 14284 instead of this older model.
