EIGHTREE Smart Plug
Score: 77/100Rankings
The Leviton Decora Smart Plug-in (DZPA1-2BW) is a Z-Wave Plus plug-in offering high-capacity control up to 1800 W and built-in surge protection. Its main trade-off is the mandatory hub requirement and lack of dimming or outdoor rating. Best suited for homeowners with an existing Z-Wave hub who need reliable control of high-power indoor devices.
The Eightree Smart Plug offers high-power capacity and built-in energy monitoring in a compact, flame-retardant design, with easy Alexa and Google Assistant voice control. Its drawbacks include 2.4 GHz-only Wi-Fi, optional Zigbee that needs a hub, and a basic user interface. It suits budget-focused users who want energy-tracking for high-load devices.
