Q: Do I need to buy a hub?
A: Yes. This is a Z-Wave device and requires a Z-Wave hub (SmartThings, Hubitat, Home Assistant, Vera, HomeSeer, etc.). It cannot connect directly to Echo Plus.
Q: Why can't my hub find the device?
A: Run an Exclusion first, then re-run Inclusion. Keep the plug within 10ft of the hub while pairing.
Q: How much load can it handle?
A: 15A / 1875W (125V AC). Make sure high-power appliances stay within the rating.
