- Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2025Style: Fan Speed ControllerVerified PurchaseEasy to install, replaced an older rotary knob ceiling fan switch 1.5A.
I didn’t use the enclosed decora plate as I installed in a 3-gang box with a 3 gang switch plate. Also Comes with an ivory colored switch cover but only a white single gang decora plate.
Has separate English and Spanish instruction sheets which makes it very easy to work with. I do not like those sheets that put all the languages in paragraphs right next to each other in same document.
I integrated it with the Amazon smart speaker system (Alexa) so I had to go into the Alexa app, then go to skills then search for the skill “My Leviton”. Once enabled the ceiling fan came up as a new device. I can now control it with my voice.
Choice are Max, high, medium, low, off.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2025Style: SwitchVerified PurchaseI've had trouble getting other brands of wifi witches to pair with my dual band router. Most of those are 2.4 GHz and don't want to pair with with my 2.4GHz/5GHz router. I have returned items because they wouldn't pair. I saw a YouTube video about installing wifi switches and the guy said he had no pairing problems with Leviton wifi switches at 2.4GHz. He was right. I installed it and in less than five minutes it was paired and working. To reduce a lot of frustration I highly recommend the Leviton wifi switches.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2025Style: DimmerVerified PurchaseI just installed the Leviton WiFi dimmer. The installation is easy but you need to identify the black wire that carries the power. You can see how to do this on the listing's video.
The WiFi set up was a little messy but once it was done, by first linking to the "My Leviton" google app, then the " Amazon Alexa Home" app, the Alexa voice command works great.
This is only the second day with the switch so I don't have any long-term report.
I have other Leviton light switches and they are top quality compared to others. I expect the same for this one.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2025Style: Scene Controller SwitchVerified PurchaseLike the other Leviton smart switches, this works really well.
A small physical annoyance unique to this 4 button switch that I don't really like the feel of the button presses (hard to describe, but not a very firm push or click or etc, so sometimes you aren't really sure you pushed it hard enough, or in the right place, or not).
Another thing to note is that the 3 upper buttons only control 1 scene each. That means that any push of the button triggers the same scene. Apple's Home app doesn't easily let you create a "toggle light" scene. So if you want each button to first turn a light on, then on the next push to turn it off, you need to go through some hoops to convert the Apple Home scene into a "shortcut" and then use IF/ELSE conditions in the shortcut to make this work. This is really an Apple Home limitation, but something to be aware of since there is really no way to make it work without these steps. After that setup, the button does work perfectly fine to toggle a light, but note that the response time is a bit extra delayed (2-3 seconds between button push and action... again, likely this is a result of the need to setup the special Apple Home shortcut that has to run, and not caused by the switch itself)
- Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2025Style: Dimmer CompanionVerified PurchaseVery high quality smart dimmer switch that works flawlessly. I have several of them and they control most of my lighting. My lights come on automatically add a set time and they go off at a set time. I never have to worry about it. And it keeps up with the sunset and the sunrise, so I never have to change the settings throughout the year.It really is an ingenious. It really is an ingenious device. I highly recommend it.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2021Style: Voice DimmerVerified PurchaseA review is sometimes only as good as the experience of the person who is leaving it. For this reason, I often ignore some reviews and give much more weight to others. I will begin by saying that I have over 20 years experience as a computer technician and have a family full of people who work in trades (plumbing, heating, air conditioning, and electric) so my home network and my electrical system are in solid working order. I have a wireless mesh network blanketing my property and there are no dead spots anywhere in my house. Here is my review of this item:
(1) Ergonomics. Unlike other switches, this Leviton switch is a completely smooth, flat, featureless plastic surface. It is impossible to reliably locate the on button in complete darkness - it is exactly the same as the off button. While you can talk to it (and that has its own issues), the buttons should be easy to locate with your eyes closed and should be slightly illuminated so that you can see it but not be annoyed by it.
(2) Connectivity. As you will see in other reviews dating back to 2017, the devices bings and bongs, bleeps and beeps, randomly and annoyingly throughout the day and night. It disconnects from the internet whenever it feels like it. My wireless access points are not more than 20 feet away and not one of my 4 Leviton switches can maintain a solid connection. The Tp-Link Kasa switch that is directly next to it has zero connectivity issues, and all my mobile devices have no issues with the home wifi. Leviton's response to my email is that the wifi is getting affected by the fact that it is installed in a metal box with a metal cover. "Unfortunately, for wireless in-wall devices, metal wall boxes or metal wall plates typically attenuate the signal, so even if connected, it could be intermittent. While we recognize that it is difficult to change a metal wall box, if you can, we recommend using Leviton Decora wall plates." If this is true, then why aren't the competitors' smart switches affected by the metal? As you can see in my photo, the Tp-Link Kasa switch is right next to the Leviton switch and has never had any connectivity issues.
(3) Lighting Performance. To dim or brighten the lights, you must hold down the power on or off buttons. It makes the job very imprecise. In addition, every Leviton switch produces an audible hum over the internal speaker whenever the dimmer is used (I have halogen as well as LED bulb fixtures and it happens on all of them). Maybe because it is so compact, Leviton needs to shield the internal speaker from the feedback of the dimmer. I do not know why it happens but it happens on all four of mine.
(4) Smart Home Performance. Occasionally, I will tell Alexa to turn on the lights, she will say "OK", and nothing will happen. I tell her to turn them off, she says "OK", and nothing happens. I then have to completely reset the switch and join it to my Alexa network. I have never had to do this with my Alexa Echo or my cheaper switches from Leviton's competitors. Other times, I will send it a voice command and it will stutter and lock up. When I try to use the switch to "drop in" on another Alexa device, it completely locks up the device and says "Calling with Alexa is not supp...Calling with Alexa is not supp...Calling with Alexa is not supp..." in a loop. Leviton says it is a known bug. Leviton has now informed me that using the switch to make a call is not supported, even though it has both a mic and a speaker and is connected to Alexa. Um... why not?
Bottom Line
If you expect this to be an Alexa Echo inside your wall, it is not and it probably never will be. If you expect it to do its job as a dimmable light switch, it will do a poor job of it when compared to switches that are a quarter of the price. If Amazon is your smart home platform of choice, buy an Alexa Echo for half the price of this switch and you will get all the features along with some decent quality speakers. Then, buy your remaining switches from Tp-Link Kasa (pictured in the photo) or another capable manufacturer to round out your smart home purchase. I had high hopes for these switches but they are all being returned after 2 months of struggling to make them work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent outdoor outlet for use with HomeKit
Style: Outdoor Plug-InVerified PurchaseGreat outdoor outlet, it was one of the easiest devices I ever paired with HomeKit. Has both Canadian and US safety approvals (which for me is a must-have for anything that’s going to be plugged in and left unattended).
I’m using it to control a fountain pump in the garden. It’s very hard to find a HomeKit outlet that is suitable for electric motors and pumps (most are for lighting only), so was very happy to discover this unit had “fountain pumps” listed as one of the recommended uses!
I’ve tried other outdoor HomeKit outlets for lighting, and found that they occasionally lose contact with HomeKit, and need to be unplugged and plugged back in to regain connectivity. So far, this unit has been rock solid (I’ve used Leviton HomeKit light switches inside my house, and they’ve been super-reliable and never needed resetting, so fingers crossed this unit will stand the test of time too).
Worth the extra money in my opinion, best HomeKit outlet I’ve ever used.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth It
Style: Outdoor Plug-InVerified PurchaseThis is great. I use Lutron but this cost 1/2 the price for the exact same thing. This is also a good brand.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very easy to install and set up with the App.
Style: Scene Controller SwitchVerified PurchaseThese switches work as advertised. It is nice to turn the outside lights on/off from the phone - especially if you end up coming home in a rural area after dark. The feature within the App to group switches together allows one 'click' to turn all lights in the group. Programming the top three buttons to trigger any action set up in the App also allows one light switch to turn on all the outside lights in the group also.
