Eaton RFTR9505-TAW Tamper Resistant Z-wave Split Control Duplex Receptacle, 110v /15-Amp, Alpine White Finish

A Great Z-Wave receptacle (and REPEATER)! Works FLAWLESSLY with ISY-994i! INSTEON/Z-Wave Controller!I have two Yale 'Real Living' (real expensive) Z-Wave locks in my house. One is a keypad door lock for garage to house, the second a keyless deadbolt for my front door (perfect for folks with kids!). Locks with tumblers can be quickly picked.Problem: INSTEON and Z-Wave don't talk to each other!Unlike INSTEON, Z-wave uses a wireless ONLY 'mesh topology' to communicate between units. When a Z-Wave device is adjusted (turned on, off etc.) it transmits a wireless signal. Other Z-Wave devices with regular power sources (i.e. not batteries) and within wireless range, act as 'repeaters' within this mesh network. That is, they pick-up the signal, then re-broadcast it. Why? This repeating process 'propagates' the Z-Wave signal farther throughout your house so that more remote devices are aware, and/or be controlled.The way my house is laid-out, my ISY-994i controller and two Z-wave door locks couldn't communicate reliably. The best option was to install this AC-powered Z-Wave outlet to act as a reliable REPEATER (a bridge) and enhance my Z-Wave mesh network, while also providing the capability of turning whatever is plugged into it on & off.This unit takes only minutes to install/replace an existing unit. It is pre-wired with common (wite), load (black) and ground (green) wires with a bag of wire-nuts.

I have two of these in different places. It's been erratically dropping the z-wave connection w the hub. When I say erratic, it happens a couple of times a month for a period of time and then goes for a year before another hub disconnect. I am not sure what is going on as there aren't many changes to my network or hub.Everything is working just fine. I may end up removing this from my network if it keeps up this poltergeist behavior...
