Review on Leviton DSF01 10Z Decora Rocker Control by Matt Reid

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Flickers and heats up

This switch heats up during use and non-use for no apparent reason. It also flickers with the chandelier I use unless set to exactly 100 percent. I can forgive the flickering, knowing LED lights are finicky. But I can't forgive how hot the switch gets. It's unacceptable and a bit scary to have something that hot, even though it's not a dangerous temperature. The app is also clumsier than Kasa or Feit. It's very difficult to set the minimum power level, I don't even think I could. It works both dimmable and 3-way, which Kasa can't do, Feit can. I like the different mounting options, you can screw or unscrew the terminal. On Kasas they come neutral and ground to make pigtailing even easier, but look less tidy. It's a lot better than a Feit setup, however, as you don't have the option of screwing the terminal on, and unless your cable is perfectly straight it may not catch on the rear impact clip, which can be dangerous.

Pros
  • A lot of positive emotions
Cons
  • Communication with the seller
