> 3 dayOne works but plug slips in and out - there is nothing in plug receptacle to hold plug and lamp does not get power. The other one will not connect to Samsung Smart Hub & Echo Alexa. I have 10 total in my house so I m very familiar with resetting them and connecting. Not sure if these were refurbs or just a bad batch but they need returning.

> 3 dayCan not recommend. Bought two of these outlet switches and neither will work. They will configure and work for less than a minute then they lose connection. I have a small home, 1200 sq ft with a really good router. No problems reaching outside and connecting to things in the detatched garage. These will not even stay connected in the same room as the wifi router. A real shame since the light switches are so good. I had high hopes for these. Very disappointed.

> 3 dayGreat product - works as advertised. But it only works if your WiFi is up and running. So if your WiFi occasionally loses its mind (power loss, lost internet connection, etc.) you will not be able to control the connected device during the period the WiFi is down.

> 3 dayAfter having great success with the new Z-wave+ products from Leviton I decided to try out a wifi plug in outlet and I am happy to say that this device is just as reliable and easy to use as all of my other Leviton products. The biggest stand out feature of this Plug in outlet is the fact that since it operates on Wifi it does not need a Zwave hub (smarthings or Wink) to function. I think this is an amazing option for a lot of people that dont want to invest in getting a home automation hub and want to just use their wifi as the control. Set up was a breeze, followed the simple start guide, got the My Leviton app and was up and running in under 2 minutes. Since this is an appliance control (On/Off) and not a dimming module like the other module Leviton sells, I decided to use this to turn on my coffee maker every morning. Setting a schedule to do this in the My Leviton is SUPER simple. I look forward to having my coffee waiting for me every morning! Lastly, I set up Alexa control for the switch. Like most Alexa skills, you just add it in the smart home section of the app, enter your My Leviton credentials, and you are ready to go. Now whenever I want to turn the switch on or off all I have to do is ask Alexa to turn what I named the switch on or off. Wohoo! Thank you Leviton for making such an easy to use product!

> 3 dayWorks as expected. Great for applications such as turning your yard lights on in the morning before walking to the (external) garage, turning them off when you leave. Security for the family without any re-wiring. Keep in mind that you need a constant link to the WiFi for it to work correctly, and for that reason it will siphon off some power constantly, worse if it has a weak signal (so for this reason it may not work if your external garage is too far away). I like wired, tried-and-true technologies and applications best for around the house, but this definitely adds some versatility for the non-electrically minded. And even for an (electrical) Engineer, its great for temporary applications while I decide what to make permanent. You know, turning lights on while away, Christmas lights, etc. Good product. Glad to not need a hub.

> 3 dayI bought this remote wireless off/on plug for my sons lights which hang in his room. He uses Alexas voice command to turn them off and on. Easy set up with his iPhone! I would highly recommend it for a simple wireless on/off solution. This is not a dimmer.

> 3 dayI purchased the plug-in outlet to try out a new (and more affordable) automation system. Ive been a long-time user of Insteon (and X10) devices to control lighting and devices in and around my house, so I have a baseline to compare against. I found this unit very easy to setup on my wireless network and update the firmware using my iPhone and the iOS app. Schedules and activities were equally easy to program and its very responsive to on/off commands from my iOS devices. The ability to schedule an event up to 120 minutes before or after sunrise/sunset is something I cant do now with my Insteon devices. Ive been needing to add more devices to my house, and after trying out this unit, it looks like Ill be transitioning to Leviton. Easy to install/integrate, intuitive to operate, better scheduling flexibility, no hub required and the Leviton plug-in devices are about 20% less than their Insteon counterparts. After my positive experience with the plug-in outlet, I recently replaced an existing manual dimmer switch with the Decora Smart Wi-Fi dimmer switch to control the lights over my fireplace. Installation was easy enough and connecting it to the wifi network was a breeze. Integration with Alexa is impressive and allows me to just tell her Im headed to bed and have the appropriate lights turn off. A great (possibly overlooked) feature in the app is the ability to tell the dimmer what type of bulb(s) it is controlling (incandescent, CFL or LED) providing a more linear relationship between slider position in the app and brightness. Ive also noticed I can dim my LED floods better with this than the previous manual dimmer. The My Leviton app provides better schedule flexibility than the Insteon app as I can command devices to turn on/off not only at sunset/sunrise, but also up to 120 minutes before/after. Plus, I dont need a hub. I was recently on travel and able to quickly and remotely check/control the lights. Ill definitely be replacing more of my switches, dimmer switches and plug-in dimmers with Levitons Smart Decora series.

> 3 dayThe product functions as advertised and works well with my echo show. It takes some electrical knowledge to install so if you don’t feel comfortable installing them, call an electrican.
