Easy timer switch
Easy install. Works great. Timer that works on a schedule or can turn on at dusk.

Fantastic smart light switch.
Very 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.

Easy to set up with an on/off schedule…
First, Leviton is high quality, no question. This is not my first automatic Leviton switch, this was a second buy.This switch comes with a nice screwless wall plate, which you can use if you have a lone switch to replace. It easily connects with your wifi system using your phone and the MyLeviton app, where you can set up schedules for on and off times, including basing them on sundown or sunrise. For instance, I set mine to come on ten minutes after sunset and go off at 10:30pm, every day.Now, installation: Is this for a DIYer or for an electrician to install? If you know nothing about house wiring, don’t plan on doing this yourself. Nothing wrong with how it’s built, but you can run into interesting issues when you open a box with, say, three or four other switches in it. It may seem to have a confusing jumble of wires, the switch you’re replacing may have no neutral (white) coming to it, and you’ll need to figure out which wire goes to the source and which goes to the load.All that said, if you DO know what you’re doing with house wiring, this is a snap to install (aside from the problems just mentioned). The switch is likely larger than the one you’re replacing, and there may be scant room for it. The switch has wires coming out of it (i.e., no screw terminals or insert holes) that you attach to existing wiring with wire nuts, and you need to cram all that in the box.Note that this switch can be used in two-way or three-way configurations. Full disclosure, I have used it only in two-way on/off applications.

Works well, upper 3 buttons only trigger a single scene each
Like 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)

Easy install and reliable operation
Works great and reliably. Simple installation, the WiFi connection was seamless to establish, and the WiFi connection has been remarkably stable without any drops. This is the second smart switch that I have purchased and installed – the favorable experience with the first smart switch prompted the second purchase.

Leviton needs to go back to the drawing board (review written by a technician)
A 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 LineIf 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.

Fonctionne super bien avec mes appliquer mural au del. Je n’ai plus de bruit de scintillement et j’ai même pu mettre mes lumières avec une éclairage encore plus tamiser.

I use Apple HomeKit as my main smart home controller app. The unit paired to my system easily. It resides outside. Though there are a few interior walls and an outside brick wall separating the unit from my wifi router, the connection has been consistent and responsive.The unit appears to be robustly built. The plastic housing is solid and resilient. Connecting wire shielding is of a tough, flexible plastic. The whole unit looks to be well sealed from outdoor weather.I’ve had this unit for a couple of months with no negative incidents thus far. I’m very pleased.I’ve owned this unit for a couple of months.

These 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.

Great 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.

Bought three of these on Black Friday sale. Super easy set up with HomeKit and work exactly as hoped. Kinda fun to be able to set up scenes and use Siri to control. Design leaves the other outlet plug free, or can use two of these together. Happy with this purchase, no negatives yet.
