Turn any plug-in appliance (up to 1875W, 15A) into a remote controlled device with the Aeon Labs Aeotec Z-Wave Smart Energy Plug-In Appliance Switch, G2. The switch plugs into a standard power outlet, and your appliance plugs into the switch. Installation is that simple. Now you can use a Z-Wave controller to turn the appliance on/off from 100 feet away. In addition to Z-Wave technology, the Z-Wave Smart Energy Plug-In Appliance Switch also features an integrated energy meter to help you manage your energy consumption and reduce costs. It can report immediate wattage consumption or kWh energy usage over a period of time. Energy consumption will be displayed in the user interface of the gateway/controller (if supported). For even more energy savings, put the switch on a timer using a compatible Z-Wave timer or software (sold separately). As part of Aeon Labs" Generation 2 series, the G2 Z-Wave Plug-In Appliance Switch is smaller and more reliable than the original model. The switch receives wireless Z-Wave commands up to 100 feet away, repeats Z-Wave commands to other devices, and supports Z-Wave Explorer Frames.
