Review on Wireless Electronic Ballast Interface Certified by Joshua Morales

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A good controller is good for the electrics

Those things are pretty good. I have at least four. One died because. they are not waterproof. I'm deducting a star for several reasons. First, the pin/wire connectors are too shallow. Between too short a length of stripped wire for the spring to hold and too long a length where the wire is exposed. Secondly, it is difficult to reset the settings to the factory settings. Most devices will reset after power cycling 5 times. But FLS requires four power offs, wait 10 seconds, and two more cycles (presumably to avoid an accidental reset). Third, there's no LED indicator, so you can't know if they're doing anything at all until you connect the LEDs. After all, they lack instructions. There are several photos of the wiring and that's it. I had to find a way to reset them. Also note that you cannot connect them directly to SmartThings or Hubitat as they are "Zigbee Light Link" (ZLL). When connected to Hue, it appears as two separate devices/lights - one for white and one for color. When connecting directly as "Zigbee Home Automation" (ZHA), only white connects. It needs to be connected through a ZLL hub like Hue. If connected to ST or HE, they need to be reset to connect to Hue. However, this is not an FLS-PP issue, it is a ZLL/ZHA issue. Other RGBW ZLL products work in the same way.
