Anyone know if these will pair? The older stuff for Iris at Lowes on clearance rack for $10 each. Bunch more I’ll go get if this stuff pairs but didn’t want to get anymore without knowing for sure.
I went for the 3 way that is listed on website. I show 3 in stock but couldn’t find any of them. http://m.lowes.com/pd/GE-2-Piece-15-Amp-White-3-Way-Decorator-Light-Switches-Works-with-Iris/3707744
None of the items I bought were showing up on website.

anything that says z-wave should technically work, which I believe all of these are, but check the package to make sure.
Sidenote. Now I have to make yet another stop to lowes… lol
Are those the old switches that don’t require a neutral wire?
They have a neutral, so I assume it is required. Going home to do a quick setup and pair to make sure work, then I will go buy the rest.
Perfect! I wanted to make sure they were the ones that did require a neutral.
So I stopped by my local Best Buy today and they had a whole section for Smartthings.
They’ve probably had it for awhile and I didn’t notice but it is nice to have another option to pick up devices locally…
More than a week back in my local BB, they had a dedicated ST stall with one kit which appeared to be a return looking at the package.
So the regular toggle has a neutral. The dimmer I picked up does not. I hooked up the toggle and outdoor module and they pair up fine. So I will go back to lowes and get anymore of those they have.
you’d have to check the instructions for the dimmer on what it works with. it might work with cfl or led, but might not.
Not bad for the on/off. I’ve just heard bad things about the dimmers without a neutral
Yes, the packaging says incandescent bulbs. It does not say that it does not work with LEDs, but I anticipate it doesn’t. I can always hook it up and try.
probably easier to hit google with the model number and pull the instructions out, so you don’t have to open it up

Hmm, they had several devices and the security kit at mine.
Very well may be the case… My local BB hardly ever has anything on display. Even the newer hues. I have to tell them that online it shows available in the store and show it to them. And then they go and fetch it for me.
Dude! If you go buy these for me I’ll pay for them and the shipping!
I’m using the 3-way switches and the on/off switches here now with ST. I have no problems at all.
I don’t know about the dimmers, but I will find out as I just bought some.
I cleaned out my local lowes last night… I just wish they were that cheap…
but I’m serious about buying these from you if you’ll get them for me.
All my Lowes has is the non neutral dimmers left. Their stock showed that they had 3 of the 3 way on/offs, but they couldn’t find them. Claimed their stocking numbers must be wrong. They told me the same thing last week about the new Iris door contacts, stock showed 7, but couldn’t find them. There were 7 on shelf today, so I will keep checking back for the 3 ways.
If you bought these same ones a couple days ago, I’d take receipt in and see if they will price match to the clearance price.
But to just sum it up, the 4 different zwave devices pictures above as well as the linked 3 ways are all on sale for $10 clearance. It is just a matter if they have them. Worth a check if you are close, as only the 3 way that they couldn’t find showed up online as on clearance.
