they worked right away no hub required BUT I removed the outlets from my system as I found by scanning my zigbee network with my xbee they were creating a ghost device and causing a lot of interference in my zigbee network which can knock other devices offline.
Also I didn’t get anywhere near range they advertised.
I’ve got a couple of “LivingWise Smart Outlets” hoping the will integrate with smartthing smoothly, but it seems I DO need a specific device handler. I just wondering if anyone knows where I can get the device handler for the Smart Outlet.
