Customer Reviews for Leviton Decora Smart Light Switch with Z-Wave Technology Wallplate Included, White

Bought this switch to work with my z wave controls extremely nice being able to control all my homes exterior lights off 2 of these switchs from a central control hub inside my home its broken in to two zones front of home and back of home switchs work great controller hub turns on my lighting at a programmed time then shut off all exterior lighting at 6am

It does work and was easy to pair to z-wave. The rocker feels very loose and not as sturdy as a Jasco or other Leviton switches I have purchased in the past. I have had it about a week and it is doing fine. In summary, it works, it comes with an ivory plate, it isn't a bad switch, at a decent price.

I bought 2 of these and am returning them both. Installation instructions are terrible. Instructions have no reference to app download or configuration. The "smart" aspect of this wife refers to working with outdated "Z-wave technology" HUBS. When I did find Z-Wave apps reviews for the apps were 2-star averages. The Leviton Decora app was useless. After loading it required a code to be scanned that was either on the product packaging or on the device. Note, there is no such code on these devices or it's the packaging. My assumption is this is an outdated "smart device" and effectively obsolete. I chose this based on user reviews stating that they had it working with Alexa. I assume they bought a different Leviton switch and accidently posted the review on these. Wasted time.

2 out of 30 stopped working after 2 months. Guess that’s not horrible

Just what I wanted. Easy installation including having to add the included neutral wire. These switches were easily added to my SmartThings app and the automations I configured work perfectly. I think I prefer these switches to using Smart Bulbs.

excellent product, easy to install and pair.

Work perfectly highly recommended

This switch requires a close connection to a Hub so it would not connect to my Hub. I exchanged it for a Decora switch that used WiFi and that connected much more easily and works wonderfully

If you are buying a two pack thinking they can both be part of a two way switch, you would be wrong. If you want to do two way, one of these and the Leviton DD0SR-1Z 120VAC Decora Coordinating Switch Remote is what you need. On the bright side, the DD0SR-1Z is half the price. These also have a larger (deeper) body than the GE Z-wave v2 switches so are harder to get into full boxes. The one plus is the paddle responds in real time with these so they feel natural (the GE have a slight lag).

Dead on arrival... Connected Hot, Load, Neutral and Ground per instructions. LED illuminates, clicks when top rocker is pressed, no lights come on. Put the old dumb switch back in and voila, lights work again. Wanted to set up Z wave control through a home security system, but looks like Lutron is off the list. Will try GE and see if they are at least functional. As an aside, I did try to put it in pairing mode, since the LED was on, before I pulled it out. I held the button down for about 10 seconds, the LED began flashing, but my hub could not find it.

I was told in the store that this could be operated from my phone using just the leviton app. After installing it i come to find out that a hub is also needed to use this switch. Returning it today.

I have purchased several Leviton smart devices and constanstly have issues with each. They are very difficult to set up and you often have to reset them. Also, almost all thwir products are set up in dofferent ways

Tried a few different brands of zwave plus switches. The leviton's consistently show disconnected on the hub. The others are all fine. Upon googling I found this is a common problem with these particular switches. I'll eventually replace them with a different brand.

It works I thought it was dimmer switch. I connected it too my Alarm.com system using the Z-Wave Plus feature. Thanks!!!Happy Day!!!

Yes. Compatible with ADT Pulse and easy to integrate.

I've been using this for about 3 months ago and its working great. Installation was as easy as installing a normal switch and getting it online with SmartThings was also a piece of cake. This was my first hardwired z-wave device and its truly amazing how easy it is to setup and install. I also have it integrated to run a schedule with the Alexa app which also is flawless.

I really have to state this...I am a Z-Wave pro. I've used it since it became a standard. I've never, ever run across a group of switches that are as unreliable as these are. I purchased 4 in June, 2019. Three have gone back for replacements. Install them, include them, fine. They work for a few days. Then the switch led stays green, but when you hit the button to turn it on, it does nothing. No click, nothing. It DOES still speak to the Z-Wave controller, however, even though the controller tells it to turn on (and it says it turned on) the switch does not makes it's trademark audible click - nor does it turn the load on. You have to remove it from the switch box, disconnect the white neutral, wait 10 seconds, reconnect it, then it works from both the switch and the Z-Wave controller....for a while. Two to three days later, it stops again. Unacceptable - and going back.

Bought 2 switches. One has no problem but the other (which is closer to the hub) keeps losing connectivity and changing from a Z-wave switch to a Z-wave Relay. Tech support is trying to find out why.

Had two of them fail within two weeks of service.

have it on all switchs with wink and it works great together

Great product. I needed a new z-wave light switch and this one works great with my wink system. I had no problems pairing it to my wink system.

Love these switches which are paired with my Wink Hub. Respond very fast, blend in right with my other ones, and are functional even when my internet might be down. Paired my Wink with Alexa, and my home is a breeze with voice commands.

A bit pricey but the repeater in the switch seems to be very good

Easy to install

I purchased this along with the "remote" switch to replace a traditional 3-way setup. I paired this with a QOLSYS alarm and home automation system via Z-Wave. As others have said, the directions could be better. I also have GE/Jasco Z-Wave switches installed in my home and thought I would give these a try since they were a little cheaper (hence my excellent value). Biggest drawback is that the switches do not come with a short "neutral wire" in the package which is required for this setup. Of course, I didn't notice this until getting home and pulling out the wiring, opening the boxes, etc. I had to return to the hardware store to purchase wire to complete the installation which added another $12 to the cost. I rated 2/5 for this reason. Otherwise I would mark this a 4/5 star product - loosing one star for the poor instructions. GE/Jasco Z-Wave switches come with the "neutral wire" in the package. After purchasing additional wire and figuring out how to install, the switches were installed in a 3-way setup, paired with my QOLSYS system and working just fine.

I did not install this product, it was installed by an electrician, so I can't speak to how easy it was to install. Once it was installed, setup to connect it to my Smart Home z-wave system was fairly easy and completed in minutes. It works great, you can turn your lights on or off the old fashion way using the switch without any issues and when you want to have your smart home devices do it via Amazon Echo, etc or use a smart home app (like WINK or Google Home) on your phone. This works great with the WINK system. I am going to replace all my light switches with this switch.

Works fantastic and was easy to install

It’s too big to fit into the existing in wall boxes. If the size is considerably small my then it would have been better. Currently it pops out of my box and looks uneven and scary.

Recommend electrician installation if you aren't well versed in electricity. It required an additional neutral wire to power the electronics in the switch. Integrated into my current system and it is programmed to come on at sunset and off at sunrise.
