Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I first bought an Intermatic HA09C remote but after being unimpressed I got this GE 45601. The GE remote is WELL worth the extra $18 and is currently now the primary z-wave controller in my house.
Pros:
1) Can individually control 18 devices with a shift key and 9 rocker switches
2) Can control 9 timed events (on + off are 1 event), which means it has an internal clock/calender, timed events can be enabled/disabled, events can trigger groups/scenes/individual devices
3) Can create groups and scenes, which I don't believe have to be the same as the 18 direct rocker controlled devices (you can add devices not assigned directly to a rocker)
4) Has a small text lcd to help in programming and labels (programmable) for devices.
5) Can set custom device options, like dim ramp rate (you need to know the technical details of the option, like set device option 1 to a value of 2)
6) Controls thermostats
7) Instructions are WAY better than Intermatic HA09C manual
Cons:
1) lcd is not backlit
2) No details when error occurs, for example I tried to program a scene for a non-scene capable device and it just would say "fail"
3) Can't query state of device and display on lcd
