Hey everyone! I wanted to share my experience with pairing the Jasco 12721 outlets with the SmartThings hub. Initially, I found the process quite challenging, but after some trial and error, I figured out a reliable method that worked perfectly for me. Here’s what I did:
-
Plug in a Powered Device: I started by plugging a lamp into the lower (Z-Wave controlled) receptacle. This helped me test the functionality and ensure power was flowing correctly.
-
Cycle the Power: I cycled the power using the push button on the outlet. This step was crucial for establishing a stable connection.
-
Test the Upper Receptacle: After cycling the power, I moved the lamp to the upper (non-controlled) receptacle. The light turned on, indicating that the outlet was receiving power correctly.
-
Return to the Lower Receptacle: I then moved the lamp back to the lower receptacle. The push button now successfully toggled the light switch, confirming that the outlet was functioning as intended.
-
Pairing via the SmartThings App: Finally, I opened the SmartThings app, navigated to ‘Add Thing’, and selected ‘Lights & Switches’ → ‘Outlets’ → ‘Jasco’ → ‘Jasco In-Wall Outlet’. I pressed the button on the receptacle, and voilà! The outlet was successfully paired.
This method worked seamlessly for both outlets I installed. I hope this detailed walkthrough helps others avoid the frustration I initially encountered. Happy pairing!
