tebery Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Looking to replace my 10 year old C4 outlet switches. Is Wemo still the best replacement? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Wemo with Alan Chows driver is solid Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 If you are/can be 2.9 - zwave outlets are now available (with the Zwave expander - EA controllers only!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d1amund Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I would look into Telko Ecoguard zigbee outlets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecodeman Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I bought a couple of Wemo outlets for Christmas lights but havent added them to c4 yet. At $30 they are hard to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malelan Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 i'm having trouble getting a light on my wemo outlet to be part of an advanced lighting scene, i'm binding it to the outlet light driver, and i have other outlet light drivers in my project that are powered off the c4 outlet switches, that work without issue.

Sure, if you already dropped the cash on the zwave hardware to tie into c4 or $100 hub for standalone. Leviton dzpa1 on amazon $30 c4 Z-wave module $70 c4 USB dongle for z-wave $50 Or samsung smarthings hub $100 So $130 - $150 for one outlet or $30 for my specific use case of turning on/off a string of lights. It's worked as scheduled twice a day, every day I've had them out. Cut me some slack for making a suggestion that wasn't your preferred product.

daveva Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Do the in wall outlets make a loud clicking noise when energized like my x-10 outlets? Don't laugh the X-10 has been a very reliable outlet for me. They turn my Christmas lights on and off inside and out for the last 10 or 15 years. I think though its time to upgrade.

msgreenf Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I can't speak for the inwall outlets, but the Wemo's do make a clicking noise when turning on. Not very loud, but certainly audible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had 3 out of 3 Wemo's fail on me, and you're forgetting to add the 3rd party driver cost to Wemo. Not to mention I picked the zwave stuff up for 20 at the time. Cut me some slack for having a different opinion and experience than you - and add up properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEORY Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I haven't seen a wemo fail in years, their early product had firmware issues, but the new stuff has been solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanchow Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I too have never had any wemos fail me since we first started. Wemos are a bit easier since they utilise the existing wifi network though if (like zigbee) you have good zwave coverage or a good zwave mesh and have the Control4 zwave module or 3rd party zwave hub then I see no problems with utilising a zwave socket.

VINCELdUB Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Have you considered the lamp module from axxess? Kevin from blackwire can hook you up in the states, and in Canada, you can deal with your local dealer. there are a few options for it including the ability to dim your lamp with out control4 and the plus version gives you 4 extra buttons that can be programmed for anything like a keypad. The driver is certified for control4 and works on zigbee. Did I mention that it is pretty too?

msgreenf Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 the Axxess lamp modules are great! Highly recommend them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Lowe Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 yea if you need a dimmer the Axess modules are great and @Kevin L carries them and I sell them. also be carefull about replacing your zigbee lamp modules they could be key components strengthening your zigbee mesh.

VINCELdUB Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 The axxess modules are capable of extending the mesh if I recall. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Lowe Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 they also have a keypad on one model for extra programming buttons. (can never have enough buttons to push!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfh Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Just curious - if the C4 outlet switches are working, what's the benefit of replacing them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VINCELdUB Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Excellent question. But careful, could also ask, if the ir remote that came with the tv works, why replace it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Hi! Alan- Do you know if your your s20 driver will work with the SMART WiFi METER PLUG S31? Uses same wifi but different form factor I'm assuming. Anyone try it yet? http://www.orvibo.com/en/product/47.html http://www.banggood.com/ORVIBO-S31-Smart-WiFi-Timer-Swich-Socket-APP-Remote-Control-Power-Consumption-Meter-US-Plug-p-1112198.html Thanks!
