We’re excited to announce that five new devices are now compatible with the SmartThings open platform.

GE Plug-In Smart Dimmer The GE Plug-In Smart Dimmer is a portable pluggable device that provides the same controllable and programmable functionality as the GE Plug-In Smart Switch, but it also lets you dim or brighten lights to your preference.

The ZigBee switch utilizes your home's existing wiring. It easily replaces your old light switch and integrates seamlessly with 2-way and 3-way systems.     GE-In Wall Smart Dimmer Like the GE In-Wall Switch, this ZigBee device allows you to control and automate overhead lights and ceiling fans from anywhere, but it also lets you brighten and dim overhead lights to match your preferences.
