Good product, model # not shown in Smart Things support page
Seems like a good product. I just installed it. Pros that it looks well built and comes with off-white paddle which I used to match decor. It was nice that the box came with a short white (neutral) wire so I could connect this between the switch and the wire screw with the other wires. I removed 1/2 star because I also need a short black (hot) wire so I could do the same with the black wire. I ended up not using the ground because again, I would have needed a short wire to connect between the switch and three ground wires. The load (light bulb) wire is typically a single wire so it's easy to connect this to the switch without the need of an extra wire. I took off another 1/2 star because this thing took me 30 min to program into my Smart Things Hub. This is the newer (14294) model which is *not* covered in the ST support article. I had to select an older GE dimmer model # that I had to look up and finally got it to be recognized. Who knows what newer options I may be missing on this device since I'm using a choice that doesn't show it supports 14294. Why wouldn't GE/Jasco work with Samsung ST to have them add this model # to the ST app as the product is released? Looks like ST has all the other GE zwave/zigbee products natively supported but someone failed to list this exact model # in the built in ST support article. Adding a screenshots to show issue. I did like how easy it was to setup ST to turn on the light at sunset and off at sunrise! I installed this one at mother-in-law's house and plan to order another one soon for my house!

5.0 out of 5 stars Reliable and intuitive wall switch that allows automation
Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2019
Verified Purchase
I got a bunch of these switches to replace old Control4 switches where the controller had died. That proprietary system was ok 10 years ago, but the closed system (non-DIY) was frustrating and requiring a dealer to do anything was expensive and reliant on dealers that I didn't trust.

These switches go in very easily if you have a modern home. You need line, load, neutral and ground and it works great. I have replaced most of the bulbs around my house with LEDs and these switches seem to dim them fairly well. I have had some buzzing at low dimming levels and I have a few bulbs that will strobe at low dimming levels, but that seems to be a function more of the light/bulb rather than the switch. Above a minimum dimming level (low setting) they seem to work great and have a good tactile feel.

Adding them to SmartThings was very easy and they have all worked pretty much first try when identifying them to SmartThings. No regrets so far, other than cost. I will continue to buy these for the rest of the switches I have to replace.

A few thoughts about them...
1) you can't set the ramp rate for the on/off dimming, so you can't make it work like a standard switch (0 ramp - immediate on/off), so be aware of that if you have fluorescent lights with a non-dimming ballast.

2) there is no switch back light. There is a small blue LED at the bottom of the switch that is on when the switch is off. You can't control this (color or brightness), so there may be some conditions where it's hard to see the switch.

3) these require a separate switch add-on for 3-way/4-way setups. The add-on switch takes 2 wires from the master switch to signal it. There is a very small delay between the switch use and the light responding (low lag).

4) there is no way to set a minimum or maximum level at the switch, although this may be possible with the automation controller (I haven't found out how to do this with SmartThings yet). This means you can dim down to a level that cuts off the light from an LED bulb (or causes flicker), but the switch may not be "off". Similarly, you can't set an upper limit for the dimmer for an "on" command. Incandescent bulbs will have a much longer life if you don't go to 100% on, I used to keep the Control4 switch max at 90% and there was no noticeable loss of light an the bulbs lasted a lot longer. Probably not a big issue with LED bulbs, but it's something to be aware of if you haven't converted everything yet.

UPDATED REVIEW:
I reached out to Jasco about the ramp rates not working as intended. I received a VERY informative response from the Project Managers.
Apparently, the device was operating as designed. However, Jasco has since modified the existing firmware with a new parameter to allow you to adjust the behavior. I tested it on my dimmers and it worked as stated. Very happy with the product and Jasco Customer Service.

Response from Jasco:
Thank you for contacting Jasco Products Company.

Here is the response from our Product Managers:

We apologize for the amount of information we need to provide to accurately answer your question, but unfortunately there is some bad information being spread about what you are describing.

First and foremost, the GE dimmers 12724 and 14294 do not require a patch or bug fix, as there is not a problem or incorrect behavior. Both units operate correctly as they were designed.

All of our previous dimmers (including 12724) used to ramp slowly when being sent a level specific command (1-100). We then updated our 12724 product with enhancements that added additional routing options and to take advantage of the latest Z-Wave technology. When we did this, we had to upgrade the behavior of the dimmers to the latest spec as defined for Z-Wave certification. This new specification requires that when receiving a level specific command (1-100) the device is required to immediately jump to that level.

· Any Z-Wave Classic Dimmer (including 12724) that has VER 3.0d and EARLIER on the back of the product will ramp slowly to the specific level when issued a level specific command.
· Any Z-Wave Classic Dimmer (including 12724) that has “VER 3.0e” (This is the last version produced on our Z-Wave Classic products) on the back carries this new behavior
· Any Z-Wave Plus Dimmer (including 14294), will carry this new behavior.

Because this is a requirement for Z-Wave certification, the product must ship with the newest behavior as default. HOWEVER, understanding that our customers may want the previous behavior, we developed a new configurable parameter into our latest GE 14294 and Jasco 14321 In-Wall Smart Dimmer.

· Dim Up/Down rate
· Parameter Number: 6
· Size: 1 Byte
· Valid Values:
o 0 (Default) – New Required Behavior (Instantly move to level)
o 1 – Ramp up and down slowly (3.0d and previous versions behavior)

You can determine if the GE 14294/Jasco 14321 has this feature by verifying the manufacturer date code on the front of the Dimmer in the bottom right hand corner. It will be a small white sticker with 4 numbers.
· The First 2 numbers are the Year it was Manufactured (example: 17 = 2017)
· The Last 2 numbers are the Week it was Manufactured (example: 07 = 7th week 2017, or 3rd week of February 2017

Any GE 14294 manufactured ON OR AFTER 1651 will contain this new parameter 6
Any Jasco 14321 manufactured ON OR AFTER 1705 will contain this new parameter 6

ORIGINAL REVIEW:
So this device (14294) was almost what I expected. Apparently, the dimmer does not ramp UP correctly when the command is issued via zwave. It jumps immediately to the set level regardless of the parameter settings.

The only time the ramp rate works as designed is when going to 0%. Any other level jumps straight there. The ramp rates work correctly when issued from the switch itself however.

Very disappointed. I'm still inside my return window and will likely send these back if I can't find out if a firmware update might correct this behavior.

I have tried Caseta (Lutron), which looks really good, but needs a hub. Customer support was helpful, but could not solve my issue, so I sent it back. Leviton (Decora), which seems okay, but one LED flickers. Also, the paddle looks kind of cheap. So, it is going back. I picked up this GE dimmer at a local store, and it installed so easily. The wire hookups did not require wire nuts, so it took up lees room in the box. Also, it is easy to use. Hold down the bottom paddle and the lights dim. Hold down the upper paddle and the lights bright. Hooked it up to Smart Things with no problem. Just add a thing, and tap the up paddle. In Smart Things, the dimmer behaved exactly like I thought it would. What was cool, is that I slid the dimmer in Smart Things to 0%, and the lights turned off. When I turned them back on, it went to the dim setting it had, before I pulled the dimmer to 0%. Also, no lag time. I press the switch and the lights come on. I press the switch off in Smart Things and the lights fade off (maybe a second or two). Looks really cool. Totally happy, and glad to buy an American product. I am ordering switches for the rest of the house, so I can be totally Smart Things controlled.

These GE Z-wave dimmers are good quality, I have several and this one replaces a cheaper non GE switch of which I had two and both failed, the GE switches I purchased are still functioning. So you get what you pay for. The only issue I had with this switch was when I tried to add it to my Vera network but it was a problem with the Vera controller not the switch. Works well with my LED lights dims without any hum or noise from the switch. It is a tight fit in a standard gang box given the larger size versus a regular switch.

Works great so far with my Smartthings Setup. No issues and easy installation. Smartthings was able to recognize the switch quickly.

Couple of times there were some hiccups with Smartthings report where I would turn the light off through the app but Smartthings would still say it's on. It looked like the light was dimmed to 0 percent, but not completely off. After resetting the switch couple of times everything was OK and I haven't had any issues since.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great switch. Slow dimming function. Too big for some standard electrical boxes.
Reviewed in Canada on January 20, 2018
Verified Purchase
Theses switches do everything that they're advertised to do.

Setup was easy, connect hot, load and neutral (REQUIRED) and it works without issue. It turns the lights on/off by dimming up or down, which I'm not a fan of. The dimming function is used by holding down the top or bottom of the switch, and it's slow to go from full bright to full dim or off. The switch connects seamlessly with my Samsung Smartthings Hub and I've been able to integrate this switch into my home automation routines.

Two reasons this switch isn't getting 5 stars:

- aforementioned slow dimming function. I want to be able to adjust the brightness quickly.
- the switch is LARGE. It takes up the entire electrical box. If you have a small box, you'll have a really hard time putting this switch into it with 3 wire nuts and the nut that holds conduit in place inside the box.
