I had trouble getting this to work when trying by brand, but using the QR scanner from the brand selection screen was successful, registering the switch as a generic Z-Wave dimmer.Īlternately, of course, you can also simply scan for the switch, which the SmartThings app warns you is a less secure method, and not recommended.

The QR code for this can be accessed either via the front of the switch, before you put on the wall plate, or it can be found on the box your switch came in.
Jasco’s Z-Wave dimmer setup was straightforward in my testing: open the SmartThings app, tap the + sign in the upper right-hand corner, follow the prompts, one of which allows you to securely add your switch. Enbrighten Z-Wave No Neutral Dimmer review: Setup

If you don’t want to mess with custom handlers and only want the basic experience, but you find that your fixture is flickering at lower or higher brightness settings, you can configure the maximum and minimum brightness through a somewhat fussy series of button-presses as laid out in the manual.
I toyed with some custom handlers during this review, and some were better than others, but ultimately I just used them to change some advanced settings that are otherwise inaccessible, then moved back to a generic Z-Wave Dimmer handler. Custom handlers can add more advanced features like multi-tap and long-press, but some features not officially supported by your switch will have to be executed in the cloud, rather than at the local level, which is not as fast and potentially makes the device vastly more finicky.

I found the switch’s slow default rise to full brightness or drop to off to be a touch too slow, but this is only a minor quibble, and fixable if you like to tinker with custom device handlers, which can be installed via the SmartThings Integrated Development Environment in your PC web browser (If this seems confusing, see this helpful guide written up by a forum member of the SmartThings community).įor those not in the know, one of the benefits of Z-Wave devices is that if you don’t like the options you have for controlling a device, you can change its behavior and options by copying-or writing-code for what’s known as a “device handler.” Z-Wave has a rich community of tinkerers who have written code for any device you can think of, so it’s absolutely worth looking into this world if you’re the curious, adventurous type.
Enbrighten Z-Wave No Neutral Dimmer review: OperationĪfter installing the switch, its use is pretty basic: press the top paddle to turn on the switch or hold it to raise the brightness, and accomplish the opposite by doing the same on the bottom. No amount of careful, patient wire arrangement and folding has, at least in my experience, managed to convince me I haven’t set up a fire hazard once the wires are out of sight, but this switch’s simple installation comes close, and that is worth a lot to me.
