ENERWAVE Z-Wave Plus Wall Outlet with Smart Meter Energy Monitor, for Home Automation, Compatible with Alexa, Interchangeable Face Covers, ZW15RM-PLUS, 2-Pack

I've recently setup a rpi with hassio, using a nortek husbzb-1 adapter. I bought a pair of these Enerwave 15A smart meter outlets early on, and they worked ok at first. The switch, power, and energy reports worked as expected. Then I woke up one morning to one of the outlets showing as "dead". After trying several times to exclude, include, repair, refresh, heal, etc... I finally got it paired and working again by rigging up a temporary cord near my zwave adapter. A few weeks later (much hotter weather) I had both outlets fail (one showed as dead, the stopped sending meter reports). I removed the outlets for more repairing, and noticed the plastic extension sleeves in one of the junction boxes was deformed from heat! These extension sleeves fit tightly over the vent holes on the outlet, which may have lead to overheating. So I am rolling the dice and reinstalled them again without the sleeves just for giggles. I had to once again, rig a temporary wire to bring them near my zwave stick to exclude/reinclude them. After a day of 100F weather so far they are doing OK (still reporting meters etc). We'll see how long they last on this stint (will come back if they fail again).On a more general note, so far I have not been able to get these outlets accept any zwave commands sent by the zwave controller. For example, the manual has info about setting "wattage reporting threshold" (IIRC the name), which by default is set to 1W... ie a report is sent on the zwave network when the wattage changes by just 1W. This produces an excess of data for some cases. In my case 10W would work best (just need to know when a gas dryer is running). Nothing I have tried will change the threshold to 10W. Worse, although the default is showing as 1W, in reality the outlet is sending a report with changes as little as 0.01W, which produces lots of data even when the dryer is idle! Not sure if anyone else has been able to change the reporting threshold on these Enerwave outlets using any other controller/hub. My guess is not, as the latest hassio is using the current ozw drivers for these outlets, and I have not seen any other reports of successfully changing it. This may not be a problem depending on how much zwave traffic your network has and can handle... but for me the energy reports every second result in a noticeable slowdown with my rpi.At the end of the day, this problem with not being able to configure the outlet's advanced features may be a deal breaker for these devices in my home. Even if they didn't overheat or otherwise become dead, the unwanted excessive zwave traffic will eventually lead to problems as I expand my home automation system. For one outlet that doesn't really need energy monitoring, I'll probably just get a jasco plug (much more reliable but without W or kWh). For the gas dryer, I may have to rig up a DIY current sensor on an esp8266+mqtt or something like that, so I can keep a safety automation going (that needs to know if the dryer is running).

1) Doesn't come with a wall plate. Description listed that it came with face covers which are not face/wall PLATES. Not a big deal, just something to keep in mind so you can order one.2) Doesn't automatically refresh power levels. Really disappointed in this outlet. I tried different device handlers and changed the settings to 1 second refresh and 1 watt reporting threshold but it juts doesn't refresh automatically to report power use. I have other plugs that do this just fine, but was hoping this outlet would, especially considering the cost. It costs a bit more than the GE/Honeywell outlets, but it boasted metering capabilities which I'm not sure the others have, so I figured I would give it a try. Only way I think of to get it to work "automatically" is to set up a cloud task that refreshes the outlet every 10 minutes (I am still testing this out to see if it functions as intended). Unfortunately, this will take up hub resources to process this refresh request that should be handled on board by the device. Update: so this sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. It hasn't been refreshing power (from hub or app reset commands) for a couple of days so I tripped the breaker off and on and that seems to have reset it somewhat.Conclusion: So, it works great as an outlet, but if you want real-time power monitoring then this will NOT do that, at least on my smartthings settings.Update: still not liking the power monitoring as it doesn't work well at all.

disclaimed, i was paid $3 for writing this review, nevertheless it's honesti am an enthusiast who wants to automate his house, i gave up on the existing paid and open source hub solutions, so i am building my ownon my windows desktop, so i installed openzwave-shared lib which is a nodejs wrapper over the open source lib called openzwave written in c++ that handles zwave protocolin a matter of 2 hours i was able to:- install the outlet itself to the wall- install the openzwave-shared lib on my desktop- get the example that comes with it running- get connected to the outlet via aeotec zwave plus usb-stick- send on/off commands to the outlet from my javacript console app- read the reports on the energy consumption as well as the power level and suchdone, i am happy

I love these smart meter power outlets. They report wattage and kwh quickly. One ended up being defective and stopped reporting power usage, but Enerwave is replacing it.UPDATE: 7/20/19 - my original review was maybe a year ago at this point. Enerwave did end up replacing the defective unit, but as of a couple of months ago they're now both acting up. This time even worse, they both stop reporting power usage, but they also stop responding to being turned on and off, even by the physical button on the unit! Being outlets the only way to reset them is flipping the circuit breaker. Sometimes that causes them to work again for maybe a week, but as of today I reset them and it worked for a grand total of 5 minutes. I'm going to be contacting Enerwave again, this is ridiculous.

While I was able to see the amount of power I was using on our pond pump initially, upon moving the hub after linking, and adding 2 repeaters, I couldn't get the outlet to even talk to another repeater plug 50' away outside. I shouldn't have to fight this with an unobstructed view to the next repeater. Eventually, I gave up and went back to Insteon, which uses rf and powerline.

Worked flawlessly for about 8 weeks, then it stopped reporting energy consumption (was always shown as zero), then in a few days it stopped working altogether. Removing the switch from the z-wave network and adding it back didn't help.[Update +2 weeks] Enerwave support is beyond what I expected. They sent a replacement, no questions asked. Changing to 4 stars.

These were a lot bigger than other Z-wave outlets I bought before so I couldn't fit them in the two places I tried. I'm sure they work great though.
