Leviton Decora Smart Plug-in Dimmer White
Score: 76/100
GHome Smart Switch
Score: 72/100Rankings
Leviton's Decora Smart Wi-Fi Mini Plug-In Dimmer adds wireless control to table and floor lamps with a compact two-plug design and integrated LED indicator. It is limited by a 100 W LED load capacity and reliance on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, requiring a firmware update for Matter support. Best suited for renters or temporary lamp setups.
The GHome SW5-4 is a Wi-Fi on/off smart switch that handles up to 1800 W without a hub and integrates with Alexa and Google Assistant. It lacks dimming, needs a neutral wire, and cannot be used in 3-way setups. Suitable for users needing simple high-load control.

Professional reviewers highlight the GHome SW5-4 as a solid, safety-certified smart switch with strong voice-assistant integration and a high load capacity, but they caution that the mandatory neutral wire, lack of dimming, and 3-way incompatibility limit its applicability in many existing homes.
Users appreciate the reliable voice-assistant support and remote scheduling, yet the most common complaint centers on the heavy push required to operate the switch, which many find inconvenient compared to standard switches.
