Leviton Decora Smart Dimmer Switch
Score: 81/100Rankings
The Leviton Decora Smart Dimmer D2710-1BW is a Wi-Fi-enabled 0-10 V dimmer offering full-range linear and logarithmic dimming with Matter compatibility. Its installation complexity and lack of standard 3-way support limit residential DIY use. Ideal for commercial spaces or high-end homes needing precise control.
The Brilliant Smart Dimmer Switch replaces a standard wall switch and offers touch, app, voice, and motion-based control with support for up to 500 W incandescent and 200 W LED loads. Its main limitation is the mandatory Brilliant Control panel and the need for neutral wiring, which adds installation complexity. Ideal for users already invested in the Brilliant ecosystem seeking advanced automation.

Professional reviewers commend the Brilliant Smart Dimmer for its premium industrial design, responsive touch interface, and deep integration with major voice assistants and smart ecosystems. They appreciate the built-in motion sensor and Sonos control, but caution that the product's reliance on a Brilliant Control panel, neutral wiring, and all-Brilliant multi-way configurations adds installation complexity and limits standalone use.
Everyday users generally praise the dimmer's straightforward app-guided setup, reliable voice and motion control, and effective dimming across LED and incandescent fixtures. Common complaints revolve around the need for neutral wiring, the mandatory Brilliant panel, occasional motion-sensor tuning, and the extra cost for Decora plates and all-Brilliant multi-way switches.

Everyday users commend the product for reliable smart-home integration and the convenience of voice and app control, but repeatedly note the complexity of installation and the incompatibility with typical home lighting fixtures as major pain points.
