Does the smart switch work out on the LED pendant light?
I haven't had any issues using the GE Smart Dimmers: amzn.to/3m0EBpV with different LEDs. There's a lower range adjustment that can help prevent flickering if you have that problem.
My switch only has two wires. I dont have a ground. I am currently using a dimmable light switch but I want something that I can control with my phone. Will this still work without a ground wire?
Yes
@@JordanLindhurst1 Is it safe?
I am trying to wire a smart switch to an existing (non-smart) flood light with motion sensor. Every time the flood light comes on via its motion sensor, it would activate your smart switch. I am basically using your smart switch NOT to turn on the flood light but as a smart relay to tell other things to come on. would your switch work for my application please.
Does it hum? I got a switch from Moes, and it hums and it also comes with a capacitor, its a lot cheaper and it has a glass cover witch makes it really good-looking. I installed it on the kitchen since the humming won't be heard there, and I was thinking of getting this switch for the bed rooms, but i did like to know if it hums.
In my experience the C by GE Dimmer: amzn.to/35v58Vr did not hum.
@@OneHourSmartHome awesome! Thanks, I just ordered it and I will update here as to what my experience is.
@@OneHourSmartHome update: it does not hum at all and it allows me to control the dimming in the lights, only issues I see is that the app is not very responsive. Update: the light around the ring in the switch can be toggled on and off in the app, must do an update to get this feature (light right around the switch stays on once you turn it off which is an issue since this switch is in a bed room, I will try and mask it and see if I can decrease the brightness of it.)
@@plbpardo hey just wondering are you running LED bulbs with the switch ? I hear people have problems with led bulbs and the switch for some problem
@@sebastianedwards6731 yeah they are LEDs but no issue whatsoever on mine at least. I do have a fan with lights and I tried using Moe's switch on it but it didn't work correctly, I haven't tried the C by E on it thought, since I only have one, but maybe I will buy another one and use it.
Can you control ceiling fan's with this? Or just the, lights?
The on/off version: amzn.to/3m1jwLy can be used but the dimmer cannot be used with fans. I also like the Lutron Caseta fan controller as well for smart fan control: amzn.to/2USyac2
@@OneHourSmartHome i have 2 ceiling fan's on one switch. With pull chains. What do you recommend for that?
Can I install this dimmer in a 2 gang box?
what are the dimensions of the junction box? i'm from Europe and i want to install this smart switch, but will i find a compatible junction box at the store?
This product advertises that it’s able to work with smart bulbs. Could you show how this product would function on/off & dimming a non GE smart bulb?
I have the motion and dimmer without neutral wire. I don’t see the dimmer option setting, how can I set the brightness on the switch on a fixed program. It keeps going on in full brightness and not on “nightlight mode as I want it to. Thanks.
The switch I got has a neutral wire what do I do with it when wiring
Return it and buy this one
Can I install this switch without a Ground wire?
is not working for me without ground wire
Do you have to have WIFI to use this?
no but you should just get the Lutron maestro for that, it's excellent
