Leviton DW15A-1BW Decora Smart Wi-Fi Plug-in Outlet, Works with Amazon Alexa, No Hub Required

Do not buy. Waste of money

Completely dead on arrival. Switch lit up green, but when pressed had zero function. Would not turn on/off plugged in accessory or allow you to press and hold it to initiate pairing mode. I called the manufacturer customer service hoping they would send me a replacement but after verifying it was broken just told me to contact Amazon. Amazon would not replace it even though it was certified renewed and instead gave me a refund. Problem is, all other sellers want 3x the price for it. Id think they should send me a working one, but maybe Im expecting too much.

Purchased two of these to install in my 20 year old home. All existing wiring was completed by a licensed electrician and passed inspection by electrical inspector. I paid a licensed electrian to install both of these because I wasnt 100% sure of what the instructions were telling me. I have used this electrician for many years. One switch performed as Leviton said it would and the second switch would not. I traded emails with customer service for two weeks and tried everything they told me to do. Still the switch did not work and I asked for a replacement. Replacement arrived and I installed exactly as the electrician had installed the original. The switch still doesnt work on program mode. Now the second switch that was originally working does not work. I am about ready to remove both switches and go back to manual switches.

Excellent product and easy to install.

I like to have the lights on when I get home at night, but I dont like leaving them on all day and night wasting energy. So, I decided to dip my toe into home automation and did some research and found the Leviton Smart Wi-Fi Plug In. The app was easy to install and set up and the instructions were simple. I dont have a lot of patience for electronics that require a degree in engineering to set up and appreciated the intuitive controls. The schedules were easy to set up and I enjoy the ability to turn my lights on using the app before I get home. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to simple and easy light automation and scheduling to their homes for safety and peace of mind

Two “smart” devices from Leviton have been automating and adding convenience to our home for the past month now. The smart plug-in outlet

Perfect works great with Alexa

Ive been interested in automating my home for some time and wanted to try out the new Wi-Fi devices from Leviton. Ive had good luck with Leviton products in the past, and it looks they have a complete line of Wi-Fi devices. The devices also come with a 5-year warranty. I decided to start simply with an immediate need I had. I was tired of reaching for the outlet behind my Christmas tree to turn the lights on the tree on and off. I decided to buy a DW15A plug-in outlet to switch the lights on and off automatically. The device is attractive and seems solidly built. It came with detailed installation instructions and a getting started guide in English, French, and Spanish. I followed the getting started guide and installed the My Leviton app from the iOS app store. There were a number of Leviton apps when I searched for My Leviton. I installed the first one listed, which was the desired My Leviton app. The app installed without issue and gave me the option to sign up for an account. I entered the requested information (including the required overly complex strong password) and was sent an email to verify my email address. I clicked on the verification link in the email and pressed continue in the app. The app then asked me to set up my residence and offered a default name for my residence. I decided to enter a new name for my residence. It then asked for my location. The app could determine my location or I could enter my address. I decided to enter my address. This completed setting up my residence, and then the app prompted me to add a device. I plugged in my device and verified that the LED was blinking green. I followed the instructions in the app which required me to find my device in the Wi-Fi settings of my phone. I selected the device in the list of Wi-Fi networks and returned to the app as instructed. The app connected to the device and asked me to select my home Wi-Fi network to add the device to the network. I selected my network and entered the password for the network, and the device connected to the network. There was an option to Identify Device. I clicked on this and the LED blinked different colors for a few seconds to show that I had enrolled the correct device. In my case I only had one device, so there shouldnt have been any issue. I could see where this would be helpful, though, if you had several devices to enroll. I named my device Christmas Tree and setup was complete. I then used the app to manually turn the lights on and off a few times. It worked flawlessly and was quick! As soon as I tapped the button in the app I heard the relay in the device click and the lights turned on/off. I then clicked the arrow next to the device name. This displayed details on the device and had an option for settings. The only setting I could change was called Status LED Behavior. The choices were LED Off, Status Mode, and Locator Mode. The default Locator Mode turns the LED on when the load is off, and off when the load is on. Status Mode does just the opposite. LED Off turns the LED off all the time. I tried each of these settings, but decided to leave it in the default Locator Mode. I went back to the device details and saw options to Identify Device, Reconfigure Wireless, Update Firmware (1.3.3), and Remove this Device. Identify Device blinked the LED as before. Reconfigure Wireless is used if you want to change the Wi-Fi network used by the device. Update Firmware is used to update the firmware in the device. I assume Remove this Device would remove it from my residence, but I didnt see any documentation of this. It wasnt clear that I needed to update the firmware in the device. The Update Firmware (1.3.3) looked just like everything else in the details list. I saw at the bottom of the page the serial number of my device and the version number was listed as 1.0.9; CP 1.5. Assuming this version number was the firmware version, it looked like there was newer firmware available for my device. I decided to try updating the firmware in the device before proceeding further. I clicked on Update Firmware (1.3.3) and the firmware update process started. The update process took a couple of minutes before I received a message that the update succeeded. Update Firmware (1.3.3) no longer appeared in the details list, but the version number at the bottom of the page still showed 1.0.9; CP 1.5. I went back to the device page and back into details, and now the version number displayed 1.3.3; CP 1.5, so I guess it was just an app display issue. I verified that the device still worked properly then decided to try entering a schedule. I clicked on Schedules at the bottom of the page and then selected Add a Schedule Now. I decided to use the built-in scheduling wizard. It first prompted me to name the schedule. I tried accepting the default My Schedule, but I got an error that the name needed to be at least two characters long. So I guess it really wasnt the default name (maybe its an app problem). I named the schedule Schedule and then was presented with a list of available devices. Christmas Tree was the only device I had. I selected it and was asked to choose whether the device should turn on or off when the schedule runs. I selected on and was asked to set the start time. Since I wanted to do a quick test, I selected select a time and specified a time about five minutes later. There was an option to select an end time, so I selected it and specified a time two minutes after the start time. I was then given the option to select what days the schedule should run. I left every day selected, and I was done. I waited a few minutes and the schedule worked exactly as specified. I then edited the schedule to turn on at sunset and off at 11:00 p.m. The lights on the Christmas tree turned on and off as expected every day. All in all Ive been extremely pleased with the Leviton DW15A. I plan to get some of Levitons Wi-Fi wall switches to automate more of my home. Ive read some reviews where people have had difficulty with the in-wall devices, but most of these seem to be because the Leviton devices require a neutral wire to be connected. I think this is probably true of most Wi-Fi switches since they need to be powered to communicate. This shouldnt be a problem for me since I have neutral wires in most of my junction boxes. I know that there are other automation technologies that dont require a neutral wire, but all of these require some kind of hub to enable Internet connectivity. I like that I dont need a hub with these Leviton devices.

I needed to replace my smart plugs since my new router now only used a 5ghz signal. I can confirm that this works!!

Hard to program and when I moved to anothet lamp, it wouldnt work AGAIN!
