Leviton Decora Smart Dimmer White
Score: 83/100
BTF-LIGHTING WB5
Score: 80/100Rankings
The Leviton Decora Smart Wi-Fi 600W Universal Dimmer provides hub-free, full-range dimming for LEDs, CFLs, and incandescent bulbs up to 300 W LED load. Its limitation is the need for a neutral wire and restriction to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi networks. Ideal for homeowners seeking integrated voice control in standard single-pole installations.
The BTF-Lighting WB5 is a 5-in-1 Wi-Fi PWM controller that manages multiple LED strip types with high power capacity and extensive smart features. Its manual mode-selection process and lack of an IP rating can make installation more challenging and limit outdoor use. Ideal for DIY installers needing a single, powerful controller for mixed-type indoor lighting.

Professional reviewers and editors were not found in the source material; the available information consists mainly of manufacturer claims that emphasize best‑in‑class dimming performance, easy installation, and reliable hub‑free Wi‑Fi control.
No direct consumer reviews or testimonials were identified in the research. The sources provide only manufacturer‑focused descriptions, so everyday user sentiment cannot be determined.
Professional reviewers and editors emphasize the WB5's flexibility, high power capacity and solid Tuya integration, positioning it as a reliable choice for installers who need a single controller for mixed-type LED strips. The long warranty and detailed setup instructions are seen as positives, though the initial mode-selection process is flagged as a potential hurdle for non-technical users.
Consumers generally like the wide range of smart features and the ability to manage different LED strip types from one app, but many mention that the first-time pairing can be tricky and requires patience with power-cycling steps.
