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

This works simply when you plug it in. I highly recommend this item.

Perfect works great with Alexa

works great turning on christmas tree.

One of the few Wifi-enabled power switches that doesnt require a hub (Zwave, etc). Of those, one of the few with a dimmer. The app and switch all work well and are intuitive. The only drawback is that the dimmer is non-linear. It is powering an LED light source, but I feel like it maps as almost full-bright from 30% on up. The app gives you full granularity over percentages, whereas the physical switch is in 10% increments. The real dimming happens between around 5% and 30%, which means its only really dimmable in the app (you can configure the physical switch to map from 0% to 30%, but the light is ever so slightly brighter at 100% that it is annoying).

Workes great. Easy to connect to the Leviton app and then into Alexa. I bought these specifically for the downward facing plug to reduce space required behind microwave and countertop oven. Using a “regular” outward facing plug would have added a significant amount of wasted room behind the units. They are significantly more expensive than other outward facing plug options, but they fit the need I had for them and would buy them again if I had similar constraints.

The device does not let you schedule events unless you give it exact location. I do not understand how it is in my interest to share my location with the company if I want to turn on the light at 8 pm or at sunset when it happens in my state. YOu need to enter (and verify) an email, and password, and to link Alexa, you will need those, too. I was so pleased when I saw short list of permission - only access to wifi and location, but it is useless without location. Bitter disappointment. I have Lutron device that does not need all this nonsense, why others cannot do this, too? Stealing data much? It works with Alexa, but the app is not available for kindle Fires. Why? So, for what I have now, is instead of turning on or off the light by pressing on button, I do it asking Alexa. There is a mechanical switch inside, judging by the loud click the switch makes every time I turn in on or off. Makes me think about plastic pieces wearing out soon. From Alexa skills, you can only command it to turn on or off, there is no scheduling from there. You can group this device with other devices in Alexa app to turn them on/off at the same time, but this is about it. I am very disappointed.

Wonderful for the winter days!

worked but not to the level / ease i hoped for

Had another model before (another company) and I was having problems all the time. Not a single problem since I got this model, many months ago.

Leviton nailed it! The instructions and YouTube videos were a big help in getting the new outlet set up. We have a combination of devices here at the house and utilize google home AI, leviton outlets and hue bulbs in some. The price is a lot more palatable than the Hue set up when you add in the need for a bridge. The plug in leviton switches work great for an existing house or rental so you wont have to hire an electrician to install the in-wall switches. The system controls the light operation and on off times perfectly. I highly recommend giving leviton a try if you want to monitor/ control your electrical consumption.
