This has a web page and you can manually power cycle a port also, so you could use it for a switch, or whatever. I have mine set to 5 minutes, 15 minutes, then waiting an hour after that for example. It will then wait say 15 minutes before rebooting again if internet is not restored, and keep it up until internet is back. When it cannot ping a site for a set amount of time it will automatically power cycle the outlets. This device pings internet web sites that you set, so Google, Yahoo, whatever. I use this for the modem and router at remote locations, but you could use it for whatever but as a modem and router solution it is close to perfect. So, here is another amazing option for those needing remote power control. But in the end I think it was worth it because now I can lazily turn the important lights on and off from anywhere without getting up Also had to cut drywall, install boxes, and do some not-insignificant rewiring to install each switch. It could just be a poor combination with my LED bulbs, but there is a 1 to 2 second delay for the lights to come on after pressing the top of a switch. Had to cut drywall and install an old-work junction box, but that is because all the outlets and switches in my house are some cheap all-in-one no-box-required style the manufacturer used to cut costs. The Evolve outlet is fine and was easy to install. The remote controls are absolutely horrible. I had much more trouble with the other Z-Wave devices.
I would occasionally get user interface issues, like my devices appearing to leave their assigned rooms and all appear in a different room under the same name as all the other devices.
I think it does a decent job of making an overly complex system easy to use. Click to expand.I recently installed a Vera Lite in my home along with some Evolve Dimmer switches ($50 each), one Evolve outlet ($50) controlling a floor lamp, and 3 GE remote controls ($13 each).
