Smart Plug-in Dimmer Module

Why Choose Smart Shield Systems

• Fast, tidy setup: Plug it in, pair over Z-Wave, and you’re ready—ideal for lamps where running new wire isn’t practical.

• Alarm.com integration: Control from the app, build scenes/schedules, and tie lights to arming, doors, and sensors.

• Right hardware for your load: We match brands/models (Leviton, Jasco/GE, GoControl) to your bulbs and wattage.

Key Features

• Dimmable lamp control: Works with dimmable LED/CFL (up to 100W) and incandescent/halogen (up to 300W)—great for living rooms, bedrooms, and desks.

• Two outlets: 1 controlled (dimmable) + 1 pass-through (always on) so chargers stay powered while your lamp is automated.

• Z-Wave Plus mesh repeater: Line-powered modules strengthen your Z-Wave network for better range and reliability.

• Compact, no-tools install: Just plug in; many units support network-wide inclusion for easier pairing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this work with my Alarm.com system?

Yes—Z-Wave plug-in light modules are supported. We pair the dimmer to your panel and manage it from the Alarm.com app.

How much can it dim?

Typical ratings are up to 100W (dimmable LED/CFL) or 300W (incandescent/halogen) on the controlled outlet. We’ll check your bulb types and wattage.

Are both receptacles controlled?

Most models provide one dimmable outlet and one always-on outlet. If you need both controlled, tell us and we’ll propose alternatives.

Does it extend my Z-Wave range?

Yes—because it’s line-powered, it acts as a mesh repeater/range extender for other Z-Wave devices nearby.

Any loads I should avoid?

Yes. Do not use with motors, fans, non-dimmable lamps, fluorescent fixtures, or transformer loads; use it only with dimmable lamps.
