Frequently Asked Questions


Can I control it separately from the wall switch?


Yes—each IQ Outlet has its own on/off control (front button) and can be controlled from the panel/app or by automations.


What loads are supported?

Up to 15A (1800W) resistive, 900W incandescent, 200W CFL/LED, and ½ HP motors. We’ll verify your device is within limits.

Does it extend my Z-Wave range?


Yes. The IQ Outlet also acts as a Z-Wave repeater, helping other Z-Wave devices communicate more reliably.


Is there a version that tracks energy usage?


Yes—the QZ2101-840 IQ Smart Plug reports energy metrics. If you need usage insights, we’ll recommend that model instead.


Is it okay for garages, bathrooms, or outdoors?


Use the plug-in indoors in dry locations. For damp/outdoor control, ask us about rated alternatives.
