Great for pool pumps!
Excellent pool pump switch! I've got mine programmed with Samsung SmartThings hub and it works great! I also really like that the pump can be manually switched without having to open the case (just push the big grey button)!

There are no programming instructions provided so I had to figure that out on my own. I used the "Smart Lighting" app that is included with the Samsung SmartThings hub. To program, go to Automation, then SmartApps, tap "Add a SmartApp", then tap "Lights & Switches", then tap "Smart Lights" and follow the instructions. I've posted a couple pictures that show the settings I've used.

This switch was also helpful in determining what has causing huge electric bills in our house. Surprisingly, it's not the pool pumps! The energy monitoring feature of this switch is mostly a novelty but interesting none the less.

I bought initially because I thought it'd be a fun novelty to be able to turn the pump on with Alexa, but its really much more useful than that. I can control and/or reprogram the run-time of the pump from anywhere. Perfect example is that I recently had to run the pump for 24 hours after adding chemicals. I manually started the pump on a Thursday evening and went out of town the following morning but forgot to turn off the timer, so the pump shut off, as scheduled, at noon Friday (6 hours shy of 24 hours). I was able to turn the pump back on 200 miles away and complete the 24 hour cycle. I never would have been able to do this without this switch.
