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

This took my Alexa to another level. I dont know anything about electrical wiring so I was really excited to find this plug in. So now my Alexa can control my lights as well. Was very easy to setup, plug in, download the app, add the device...easy. The other awesome thing I didnt realize when I bought this was it can also be set up on a schedule. I havent tried it but Im already thinking Christmas.

What a great way to control the Christmas lights. It was really quick and easy to set up. Love it!

Needed to control the Christmas Lights that were plugged in at an awkward location. The hardest part was getting to the outlet. Setting up the switch with the MyLeviton app was a piece of cake! Also, since the cord plugs in on the bottom instead of the front it fits nicely behind furniture. Will definitely be getting more.

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

Works well within the app. Had no issue pairing with the Amazon Echo.

Love these products with the ability to operate from our phones and tablets...it is a must have!!!

I got this product for easy Lamp control on my bedside table. Super easy set up and configuration. The 90 degree plug style is great when fitting the Module behind a nightstand! After my device was enrolled, the Scheduling and Integrations were what I was most excited about. Created a schedule that coincides with my morning alarm, to turn the lamp on. Ignoring that, to snooze is not an option. The schedule then turns the lamp back off shortly after I leave for the morning. The next, most convenient thing to me is the Google Assistant integration. Climb into bed, get comfy, and tell the Google Mini to turn off the lamp without rolling over or disturbing anyone else in the bed. I also love the IFTTT integration. I quickly set up an IFTTT applet that will toggle the lamp if the camera in the Baby’s room detects crying at night. Those integrations and features made the decision to go with this DW15A a no brainer for me. Pack that up with the 5 year warranty, the fact that it doesn’t require a hub, and the mobile app, and there’s no better solution available on the market!

I wish that this would integrate with smartthings although its not zwave so that wont happen, I wish it would integrate with IFTTT but so far no. So what does it integrate with? The My Leviton app... Ok so thats the bad news if you have a smart home and have other products, because now you have one more place to go to control lights. HOWEVER what I like about this switch is you can build a schedule into it. So I have a humidifier next to my bed and have this plug connected to that. I have a timer set to every night before bed turn it on and then about an hour before I wake up turn it off automatically, this way I dont need to think about it. The plug has worked very well and is very reliable. If it integrated into other solutions Id give it 5 stars, but it doesnt at the current time. The app is reliable, the plug works and overall I am happy with it. As long as you are ok living in the leviton world and use this with a timer solution its a great option.

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.

Ordered this plug-in unit to work with my echo. Super easy to install, literally plugged it in, downloaded the free app, followed some on-screen instructions and done! Connecting with Alexa was super easy and now with a simple voice command, my lights come on and off. There is a nice timer feature as well which was also easy to do, but for my application, i dont need that. Great product.
