Leviton's smart switch comes up just a little short

Check out this switch by Leviton that connects with Apple's HomeKit.

The switch is really easy to use and the simple design makes it hard to get confused with the controls. It also flows well with the Leviton Decora app and HomeKit, which give you greater control over brightness settings and, for $50 (roughly converted...

Leviton Decora Smart Zigbee 3.0 Plug-in Dimmer review: Not enough features for the price

Certified for use with Alexa and Xfinity Home, but decidedly unimpressive otherwise.

Compact design ; Easy to set up ; Xfinity Home certified (important only to Xfinity Home users)

Expensive for what’s delivered ; Hardware button doesn’t support dimming ; Very narrow dimming range

Leviton Decora Smart Zigbee dimmer (model DG6HD) review: An in-wall switch with an understated design

Premium pricing makes this dimmer a bit of a tough sell.

Clean, simple hardware layout ; Quick pairing and operation with Amazon Echo models with Zigbee radios

Hardware design makes it difficult to wire ; Not SmartThings certified (as of review date) ; Very expensive

Leviton Decora Smart Voice Dimmer and 4 Speed Fan Controller switches review – The Gadgeteer

Both switches are great for the beginner smart home user. They are easy to install and operate both in person and remotely through the app. While each switch could use a few tweaks to improve them, overall Leviton has developed a couple of great...
