Never had a disconnect. They just work seamlessly. Easy to install and use, no flickering like some other brands, looks great, light is cool looking. Makes no noise. Automatable, dims excellent. Just slightly too expensive but they work so perfectly it’s a good value I suppose!

A review is sometimes only as good as the experience of the person who is leaving it. For this reason, I often ignore some reviews and give much more weight to others. I will begin by saying that I have over 20 years experience as a computer technician and have a family full of people who work in trades (plumbing, heating, air conditioning, and electric) so my home network and my electrical system are in solid working order. I have a wireless mesh network blanketing my property and there are no dead spots anywhere in my house. Here is my review of this item:
(1) Ergonomics. Unlike other switches, this Leviton switch is a completely smooth, flat, featureless plastic surface. It is impossible to reliably locate the on button in complete darkness – it is exactly the same as the off button. While you can talk to it (and that has its own issues), the buttons should be easy to locate with your eyes closed and should be slightly illuminated so that you can see it but not be annoyed by it.
(2) Connectivity. As you will see in other reviews dating back to 2017, the devices bings and bongs, bleeps and beeps, randomly and annoyingly throughout the day and night. It disconnects from the internet whenever it feels like it. My wireless access points are not more than 20 feet away and not one of my 4 Leviton switches can maintain a solid connection. The Tp-Link Kasa switch that is directly next to it has zero connectivity issues, and all my mobile devices have no issues with the home wifi. Leviton’s response to my email is that the wifi is getting affected by the fact that it is installed in a metal box with a metal cover. “Unfortunately, for wireless in-wall devices, metal wall boxes or metal wall plates typically attenuate the signal, so even if connected, it could be intermittent. While we recognize that it is difficult to change a metal wall box, if you can, we recommend using Leviton Decora wall plates.” If this is true, then why aren’t the competitors’ smart switches affected by the metal? As you can see in my photo, the Tp-Link Kasa switch is right next to the Leviton switch and has never had any connectivity issues.
(3) Lighting Performance. To dim or brighten the lights, you must hold down the power on or off buttons. It makes the job very imprecise. In addition, every Leviton switch produces an audible hum over the internal speaker whenever the dimmer is used (I have halogen as well as LED bulb fixtures and it happens on all of them). Maybe because it is so compact, Leviton needs to shield the internal speaker from the feedback of the dimmer. I do not know why it happens but it happens on all four of mine.
(4) Smart Home Performance. Occasionally, I will tell Alexa to turn on the lights, she will say “OK”, and nothing will happen. I tell her to turn them off, she says “OK”, and nothing happens. I then have to completely reset the switch and join it to my Alexa network. I have never had to do this with my Alexa Echo or my cheaper switches from Leviton’s competitors. Other times, I will send it a voice command and it will stutter and lock up. When I try to use the switch to “drop in” on another Alexa device, it completely locks up the device and says “Calling with Alexa is not supp…Calling with Alexa is not supp…Calling with Alexa is not supp…” in a loop. Leviton says it is a known bug. Leviton has now informed me that using the switch to make a call is not supported, even though it has both a mic and a speaker and is connected to Alexa. Um… why not?
Bottom Line
If you expect this to be an Alexa Echo inside your wall, it is not and it probably never will be. If you expect it to do its job as a dimmable light switch, it will do a poor job of it when compared to switches that are a quarter of the price. If Amazon is your smart home platform of choice, buy an Alexa Echo for half the price of this switch and you will get all the features along with some decent quality speakers. Then, buy your remaining switches from Tp-Link Kasa (pictured in the photo) or another capable manufacturer to round out your smart home purchase. I had high hopes for these switches but they are all being returned after 2 months of struggling to make them work.

Scene switch does not also turn off selected scene. Only turns on. Have to use 2 buttons to turn scenes on and off.
Edit: I was able to make a single button work using the shortcuts app and scripting. So it can work as intended, just with some workarounds.

This outlet was so easy to setup and integrate with Alexa and Apple Home. Had zero issues! Will be converting all of my Wemo switches over to this brand. This was my first time to purchase Leviton and I was very impressed. Mobile app is easy to use and I had no connectivity issues. 5 star!!

So, WeMo went datk this week and after comparing several similar options selected Leviron smart plugs. Bought 3 to start. Setting these up was a 10 minute process for all three. Install the Leviton app on the phone, select add device, plug in device and provide WiFi password. Done! Leviton smart plugs and the Leviton all have way more features than the old WeMo did. Schedule is a very nice feature. Will be adding wall switches next. Definitely recommend the Smart Plugs.

Best smart switch on the market at a reasonable price. I give it 9.5 out of 10. Being able to set the max brightness allows you to avoid flicker with some bulbs, which is a great feature. It is super easy to set up switches on the phone app. The phone app works great, it shows two way status, never lost connectivity, has scenes and you can segregate by room. Very important for me is that you can dim from the companion switch, and it operates the same as the master switch. While you can’t have more than one companion, you can use 2 anywhere switches to have 4 switches that operate the same light.
The ability to have an anywhere switch is fantastic. This product was incredibly well thought out and engineered by Leviton.
The only thing that keeps it at 9.5 instead of 10 is I wish the bright / dim was hold the top or hold the bottom, rather than a separate side button.

We use ours for out outdoor fountain. This allows us to run schedules of on/off, as well as use our Alexa device to control it. It works really well!

I bought this so I could set lighting schedules for my daughter’s basement bed room which has no window. The install was quick and pretty straight forward especially if you are replacing an existing switch. You will need to identify the traveler which is usually red and the hot wire which is black, Your white wires are required for this switch to work and might be by-passed and wired together in you existing switch configuration. I installed this as a single switch and it looks great. The connection took a bit and you will probably need to down load the manufacturers app for connection to you smart home. I had to run the set up about 4 or 5 times before it connected. Once connected Alexa was quick to discover the device. The dimming is smooth and there is no flicker or hum to the lights or the switch. The speed of the light at the switch or using smart home is pretty instant. This is one of the easier smart switches I have installed and had little to no issues. I would totally buy this switch again. I would pay twice this amount to never have to go down stairs to wake my daughter up again. I just tell Alexa to turn on the lights and play music in her room. Instant response!

Leviton Smart products are your best bang for the buck. Can’t beat them for ease of set up and use.

Great outdoor outlet, it was one of the easiest devices I ever paired with HomeKit. Has both Canadian and US safety approvals (which for me is a must-have for anything that’s going to be plugged in and left unattended).
I’m using it to control a fountain pump in the garden. It’s very hard to find a HomeKit outlet that is suitable for electric motors and pumps (most are for lighting only), so was very happy to discover this unit had “fountain pumps” listed as one of the recommended uses!
I’ve tried other outdoor HomeKit outlets for lighting, and found that they occasionally lose contact with HomeKit, and need to be unplugged and plugged back in to regain connectivity. So far, this unit has been rock solid (I’ve used Leviton HomeKit light switches inside my house, and they’ve been super-reliable and never needed resetting, so fingers crossed this unit will stand the test of time too).
Worth the extra money in my opinion, best HomeKit outlet I’ve ever used.
