Note that the GE switches require neutral. They just released a WiFi switch which works on a non-neutral circuit, but the Z-Wave line hasn't been updated yet.

I have had two sets of these - they both died when I had a power outage where other switches were fine. Zooz or Innovelli

@
hinder,
the GE ZW+ or gen 2 QUICKFIT? I’m in FL and in the years I’ve used them we’ve had multiple power outages and hurricanes and still going strong.

I am in the process of adding Zooz smart switches (ZEN 26/27/30) to most of our light circuits, bathfans, and some lesser used ceiling fans.
