Does this module have auto-sensing of load so that you can turn on a lamp using the lamp's switch even if the module has it currently turned off?

Supposedly it does, but it does not come from the factory set that way. My understanding is that you have to buy a remote control to change that setting. The remote costs about $65 the last time I checked.

Yes it does but during our testing and installations we have noticed that this feature needs to have a bulb with decent resistance like an incandescent in order for it to work properly. LEDs tend to not work properly.

I can see an icon on my iPhone that indicates the status of the light: on or off.

No and it is a bummer. Modules I had with another system did have load sensing capabilities so this was a step back for me switching to a z-wave system. I can only speak for the GE modules. I did put a lot of time into pursuing this including talking to the GE tech support. The modules come out of the box with a software switch set to OFF for load sensing. They say you can turn this switch on using one of their hand remote controllers. I did buy one and it took a lot of effort to even configure it to be a secondary controller in my network. I have not pursued trying to turn the switch on. I did tell GE that they got it backwards, they should come with the load sensor switch set on. Your only alternative is to use the button on the module to turn the light on/off which in most cases is a pain.

No, the timer interrupts the power from the outlet like a wall switch that has turned off power to the outlet/lamp. The lamp switch can only be used when it comes on in the morning for about an hour, like if you really do not want it on or to stop it from coming on, but do not wish to unplug the timer. Of course if you turn off the light at the lamp switch you will have to remember to turn it back on so the lamp will come on the next morning using the timer. I have the most basic model, if there are programmable models and you have one, I can't help you there.

Yes! You will have the choice to turn your light on/off using your switch, as well as setting it for motion security.

If the light is turned off with the app it will remember the condition it was in. If it is turned off at the main power switch the app will not recognize it until it is logged in to the app again.

No, The switch has an on/off button selection usable any time you wish to turn the light switch on or off.

When the switch is turned off, lamps will shut off and the computer shuts off. I assume no electricity is drawn when the switch is off.

No it does not. There is a LED to indicate changing taking place but no power meter,

mine does not. It needs to be cycled back on... However, the unit can be sensitive to power surges and things like hair dryers turning on and off. Occasionally, you will just see the light turn on by itself. Not much of a problem, unless it goes on while you are away. I understand this is an issue with all switches that work on a conduction system. (like those lamps where you just touch the base and they turn on)

And I don't think so. As far as I know the z-wave system only supports on or off status - it does not give a sensor for load.

Yes, that's correct. I think the amount of time that it stays off is programmable. This is quite a nice switch although I haven't figured out how to "train" it to only come on when it's dark. I haven't really taken the time to work with it. The support folks are very helpful and friendly.

Yes. Whether turned off via remote or power interruption, my Lights begin with the mode used when they shut down

No. You can purchase a separate sensor that will turn it on and off. I did this with a 10 watt light and it lights one end of my house quite well.

Yes, as it works with a led lamp, it is "instant on". If there really is some delay, it's unnoticeable.
2165667
Yes, it detects light levels and will flash when it is required. I think there are some manual overrides possible but I just use the out of the box auto feature.

If you turn on the lamp and the control switch the lamp is on and can be turned off and on from the lamp itself. But once the control box is turned off the lamp remains off.
1181526
Yes, it does. You can simulate that by turning off power to your plug by tripping the breaker or simply pull the light out of socket. The light senses no power then it will come by immediately.

You have to turn the lamp on, but it won't be "on" until the timer completes the circuit (i.e. until it hits the on period that you want)
