Works great but for 3-way you need Leviton accompanying switch
They work great. For 3-way you need Leviton accompanying switch that is not too expensive, but it is additional cost

Uses Green Operating Light
Our GE Z-Wave switches are beginning to fail and they are no longer available. I replaced using a Leviton Decora Smart Dimmer 800 Series and I’m very satisfied. Install was very easy. However, note the difference in operating lights between the two brands in my photo. GE uses a blue light and Leviton is green.

Didn’t work as suggested
Didn’t work with existing 3 ways as suggested.Called manufacturer for assistance, tried programming change, then was told I would need a companion switch.For context, I am a Master Electrician.

Great Z-Wave dimmer for low-power LED lighting
This Leviton Z-Wave dimmer solved a problem I’ve been having with a new dimmable LED light fixture that draws very little current and had been flickering with a couple other dimmers (Inovelli, Lutron Caseta). Paired quickly and effectively with my ZWaveJS hub using an 700-series Aeotec Z-Stick 7 Plus.This dimmer lacks some of the nicer features on the Inovelli Red Series dimmer (power monitoring, customizable LEDs); the Leviton also uses pigtail wirenut connectors, which can make for a crowded receptacle box compared to the newer screw-tightened designs.Still, the rock-solid handling of low-power dimmable LED fixtures made this a solid choice. This won’t be my first choice for dimmers, but it’s a great option for troublesome lighting.

The ZW6HD Dimmer is Highly Unreliable
I have installed eight ZW6HD dimmers, and every single one has reliability issues. Most of them give me grief daily, and they’re only sometimes resolved by cutting power with the air-gap lever.I chose these because, for some reason, they’re the *only* recent Z-Wave dimmer on the market that has dedicated dimming buttons. Numerous family members and guests were confused by my old switches and often dimmed them to 0% instead of turning them off. These were the only ones I could find that resolved that by reserving the primary paddle only for on/off control, which is what they were familiar with.Unfortunately, their reliability has left much to be desired. Here are some of the issues I’ve had with these dimmers:- Unresponsive to both paddle presses or Z-Wave commands until the power was reset.- Fails to turn on via Z-Wave command but the dimmer reports via Z-Wave that it did turn on. Upon requesting an updated status, the wrong status was reported again.- Fails to turn off but the dimmer reports via Z-Wave that it did turn off. Likewise, an update request returned the same incorrect status.- The dimmers not remembering their last brightness (i.e., turning on to full brightness when the were turned off while at 20%).- The dimmers failing to report an updated status when turned on or off with the paddle.To top it all off, Leviton support has been unresponsive to my requests.Unless and until Leviton can fix the hardware and/or firmware issues with these dimmers, I can’t recommend them.

Great Z-Wave devices
I am an admitted fan of Leviton products. I have many items of their smart switches/dimmers, etc. using Wi-Fi or Z-Wave. This purchase was for a home where the Z-Wave devices will be controlled and integrated in a larger system along with locks, thermostat, garage doors, etc. but it does not support Wi-Fi devices so Z-Wave was the right technology for this system. They are easy to install and use and operate reliably.

Best zwave switches available
Absolutely love Leviton switches. There are not many zwave switches on the market but these are the best I’ve used. They are worth the premium. Every switch in my house has been replaced with these. Perfect integration into SmartThings and never have any issues with them dropping or not working with my home automation.

easy install no connectivity issues so far
No issues installing or adding to home assistant.has been working for several months now.Only thing I wish it has but doesn’t is energy usage tracking.Several of our lights flickered but I don’t believe they’re fully dimmable capable. We just found the lowest point where they don’t flicker and set that as the low threshold.

Got these instead of Lutron Caseta, it was a tossup. I have never been disappointed with either company but the lower price made me decide to use these z-wave dimmers. Only problem is the companion dimmer for 3 ways is not for sale on Amazon in Canada, but is available at Home Depot online.

Most are good but had a couple with outdated firmware which could not connect to my phone

These are great. Stylish, easy to get connected to SmartThings ecosystem.One downside is these don’t have wire terminals, they have wire leads. This may cause you trouble if your already tight on space in the box you’re installing it in.Note, even though you should be doing this already, you must connect the ground. Yes, there are switches that still work if you don’t connect the ground wire (you still should not do this), but these will not work if you skip it.
