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

Z wave dimmers are more expensive that WiFi remote switches. They also require a hub to work (I use a Raspberry Pi with usb plugin hub I got on Amazon). Advantage is the use of the Home Assistant software with lots of features and the port forwarding so I can control all devices from outside the house. I also have many devices (collected over the years) and they would increase WiFi traffic and limit the number of WiFi devices. If you want one or two remote switches then the WiFi ones will do the job, otherwise for a full house solution, the extra work (and study to figure it out) of a hub based system makes it worth it. I am able to use the Home Assistant to control the

I have department 56 on a shelf and have all the houses connected to the Leviton smart plug timed to go on at a certain time and to go off as well. I love the way it was so easy to program with my wink app

Works great, sound not that great but understandable for the size

EXTREMELY disappointed. Ring will register the device and you can manually control the on/off for it, but you cannot setup schedules (supposedly you can if you pair Alexa with Ring, which I don’t want to do…I just want Ring standalone to handle my needs without Alexa listening in all the time). Returning mine! Will be getting Kasa HS103P3’s to just control simply. So sad Ring can’t schedule power outlets like every other competitor so I can leverage one solution. (this leviton smart plug is solid build though, so the product itself is good, just not as flexible to leverage in Ring and may have other limits with other hubs/systems)

I bought these explicitly for use with my Wink 2 Hub and Amazon Alexa at my house. Wink and Leviton claim to have support between devices which was a major driver behind my purchase of these over the cheaper GoControl units that my other family members have purchased. Except my Wink will (from time to time) say it is unable to find my device or that the device in question is not working. Amusingly, voice controls or use of the app do effectively control the dimmer, I just get an error message and then the lights turn on or off. I purchased these units so I wouldnt run into small idiosyncrasies like this so 4 stars only. At the time of this review, I was using the most up-to-date firmware for my Wink 2 Hub.

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

I bought this in part to control a lamp, but more so to extend the z-wave network in a house where our Wink Hub 2 has coverage problems. In this same house I have several Inovelli smart plug-in outlets that work reliably, but dont seem to extend the z-wave network. To illustrate, I have a Kwikset smart lock that is located within 12 feet of two different Inovelli smart plugs, but was not detectable by the Wink Hub 2. One of these Inovelli smart plugs is even further from the Wink Hub 2 than the Kwikset smart lock. By comparison, as soon as I provisioned and placed the Leviton smart plug a similar distance from the Kwikset smart lock it solved the coverage problem. Ive also had the Leviton smart plug in another house. In that application, it is also used in conjunction with a Wink Hub 2 and is used to turn a laser printer on in the morning, and off at the end of the work day. The smart plug is buried deep inside a cabinet loaded with electrical and wireless networking equipment. Performance has been rock solid.

Got this to control some kitchen lighting with our wink hub. Setup was incredibly easy. Installation was bought because the unit is really deep and sits almost all the way back in a standard electrical box. Packing the wiring and the switch in a box was nearly impossible, but its worth the effort. The switch paired perfectly with our Wink hub and works every time. You can control lighting with the switch itself or with the app on your phone. Seems to be well made and well designed. Cant attest to how it functions with other hubs, but with the Wink, we are happy.

Great product

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.
