Leviton DZPA1-2BW Decora Smart Plug-in Outlet with Z-Wave Technology, White, Repeater/Range Extender

Purchased 16 - DZ6HD & 4 - DD0SR Matching Switch remote for my new home under construction. Being that I have been a SmartThings user from the beginning & familiar with different wireless home automation protocols, I decide to use z wave as my protocol of choice for my new home. I also purchased a new Alarm system - QOLSYS Panel 2 (Livewatch) with z-wave plus. Connecting Leviton the dimmers & switches to the QOLSYS Panel 2 was so easy! I was able to connect the first try without any issues. I planning on using my SmartThings hub when I get moved in and hopefully both alarm & ST hub will work together without any issues.

I bought four of these, the first time around the wrong one was sent; then the second set that came through had a jammed ground screw that I had to await replacement for. Im using all four for all LED sets. The dimmer looks and works well, however once the dimmer is past the 90% dim level the lights go out. I changed the load setting to LED and the same results yield (on all four). The device needs a firmware update, something is going on and its extremely annoying when turning on the lights.. as I have to turn it on and hit down one level on the dimmer (to the 9/10 position) to get the lights to come back on at their max power.

I welcomed the new design over the older Levitons (like the VRMX series): Instead of a single paddle, its now a rocker (great if you cannot see the light youre switching like an outdoor garage light). The dimmer rocker is also a huge improvement over the old horizontal dimmer that was next to impossible to engage (you had to push hard with your fingernails). I have an older hub (vera), and the switch can pair in legacy mode. I was able to do so relatively easily. The bad: not all the functions are accessible through the paddle. You have to program some of the features over zWave (like the dim rates). Its not a huge deal, but Im puzzled why they made that choice. Another annoyance is if youre dimming a light (pressing down on the dimmer rocker), instead of stopping at the minimum dim-point, the switch will turn off. All in all, its nice, but could be better.

Not much more to add. Took it out of the box, plugged it in and had it up and running in time. Directions were pretty simple and correct. I am using it on a lamp and its automated with Alexa to turn on/off in the evening and with other commands.

Works great and was easy to pair with SmartThings. Will see how longevity is in a garage controlling water heater. Id give it 5 stars if it was 20% cheaper.

This review is for the Z-Wave switch. It seems that the reviews are mixed with reviews for the dimmer. The switch is either on or off, nothing in-between. The switch is working fine. I was not able to thoroughly check some of the features (such as 3-way or Z-Wave repeater mode) but the basic feature of turning the switch on or off is working correctly. My switch is connected to a Smart Things hub. The pairing instructions on the hub are at best misleading (read wrong!) but I dont believe that this is Levitons fault. Some people reported reliability issues but I only have one for 2 weeks... I am going to order more and will be able to comment on this later. Update: I know have about 10 of those in my house. They are very reliable. I came to Amazon to order more but they are now $60.28 vs. 41.95 at Home Depot.

Use these for our ADT system for auto on/off scheduling. They well made and easy to use as long as you read the directions to add to your zwave network.

I swapped out three standard switches to these smart switches from Leviton. They are easy to hook up with very easy to understand instructions. Note that you need a neutral (white) wire. Once up and running, which took about 15 minutes, connecting to Alexa was very easy via Wink.

But not quite as straightforward as other modules to enroll. Took 2 attempts.

I love the design and lights indicating the brightness level. However, this switch has failed to work about 1-2 time each month by not allowing me to turn off the lights. The lights remain on and the switch does notthing. I must reboot the switch by turning off the electical circuit to the switch and then turning it back on. I didnt worry the first time that this failure occurred; however, it is now recurring leading me to believe that the switch circuitry design is bad or I received a defective switch and it is too late for a return.
