    Ive had this for a year and it has only needed an occasional reset. Works with Google Home and all the others.

    Already have one leviton light switch so it meant install was even easier for this plug version. Set it up and linked to Alexa within a few minutes!

    Works 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.

    I was an early adopter of Leviton Decora WiFi switch solution, and its been about four years since I originally installed this product to realize the promise of a smart home. By extension, I think my experience offers a unique, valuable perspective: • While the Gen 1 products had an extremely high failure rate that was very frustrating at times, Leviton has consistently stood by its warranty commitment to replace failed units. • Over the years, Ive noted continued investments to improve product stability, security, and app experience. • I’m really liking the installation / setup improvements that were incorporated in the Gen 2 products, which replace the now discontinued Gen 1 products under warranty repairs. • If lessons were learned and the quality / reliability of the Gen 2 products have similarly improved, this presumes to be a really solid solution. I will update this review as my experience with Gen 2 products unfold. --- Original experience: To realize the promise of a smart home, I invested heavily in Leviton Decora Wi-Fi switches, buying [16] of the regular variety (DW15S-1BZ), [8] of the dimmer variety (DW1KD-1BZ), [4] of three-way switch remotes (DD0SR-DLZ), and some of the plug-in (DW15A-1BW) units between July and December of 2017. To be fair, Ill say that contrary to other reports the Wi-Fi has been very reliable, and switch responsiveness to Wi-Fi commands has always been timely, but like others I had trouble after power outages, a need to reset breakers to restore connectivity, etc. Also, twice I had the system go haywire with lights turning on and off on their own, which was quite scary. I first thought it was hackers, but Leviton assured me it was an issue with their cloud platform - still, very unnerving. The mobile application user interface can be difficult to navigate, but I got used to it and can live with that. The real issue has been the extremely high failure rate - upwards of 50%, maybe 75% of those I purchased have failed since they were installed, even while my house is newer (built 2007) with high quality wiring, required neutral wire, and fairly stable, reliable power. Leviton has thus far honored their warranty, but not always as quickly as Id like, and this is still a hassle. Consider, you have the cost of the device itself and the further time and effort for installation (or electrician cost if youre not installing yourself) which is multiplied by the high failure rate to account for replacements, along with being unable to turn lights on and off during a failure (sometimes even manually) until the unit is replaced. In my calculus, over the life so far those have greatly outweighed any gains from the convenience of the smart features. It may be that engineering has improved on newer models to be reliable, but if not, once these are out of warranty, I couldnt imagine having switch replacements becoming some new lifetime budgetary cost and household repair task. All that to say, in my opinion the concept is great, but execution - tied to the expectation of always being able to reliably turn your lights on and off - needs work.

    Product is awesome; allows me to schedule lights in so lights are on when I arrive home from work, manage lights via voice controls through my Amazon Echo, and turn lights on-off remotely when I am traveling. Great job Leviton!

    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.

    Illuminating the room while away allows a sense of security to myself and my family.
