> 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 dayIve been doing home automation for more than 20 years and Ive finally decided to take the plunge to wireless. Ive had x10 tech in my house and am slowly migration to these new units. Ive done my homework and have read some negative comments about these product, but my experience has been nothing but positive. Quality and reliable.

21-11-2024Works 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 dayAfter purchasing a cheaper model and having them fail, I bought this and have been very happy with it. I have my swamp cooler plugged into it and when I am on my way home, I turn it on in the app so that the house is nice and cool for me by the time I get home. A real energy saver! I wish I would have bought all of the Leviton.

> 3 dayAlready 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!

> 3 dayA little expensive and it preforms as intended but the shipping from the seller is horrible. Plan on waiting 3 plus weeks.

> 3 dayThe 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.

Greater than one weekUpdated review: 4 stars Ive had four of these installed for between 1-2 yrs each. After this time one has died - its non responsive and cant be reset always has a green light. Im waiting for a response from leviton but I assume theyre going to tell me tough luck and buy another. I updated my router with a ubiqiti access point and it works well with all the switches and plugs, however I had to manually reset the wifi on each one to get them to work. Kind of a pain. I still like these and am going to try the mini plugs next. They really updated the app recently and you can now set schedules for individual switches/plugs easily and based on sunset/sunrise. That simplified things for me quite a bit. original review: 4 stars Great product that functions well. Lets you turn on lights, fans, whatever you plug into it remotely from your phone. DO NOT BUY THESE USED FROM AMAZON WAREHOUSE. THEY WILL NOT BE USABLE. Only minor annoyance I have is that the app seems to log me out frequently, so I have to log back in. Its also not super fast, but I can deal with that.

> 3 dayCompletely dead on arrival. Switch lit up green, but when pressed had zero function. Would not turn on/off plugged in accessory or allow you to press and hold it to initiate pairing mode. I called the manufacturer customer service hoping they would send me a replacement but after verifying it was broken just told me to contact Amazon. Amazon would not replace it even though it was certified renewed and instead gave me a refund. Problem is, all other sellers want 3x the price for it. Id think they should send me a working one, but maybe Im expecting too much.
