Leviton Decora Smart Plug D215P Review (2026)
In-depth review of the Leviton Decora Smart Plug D215P: build, platform support, companion switch, and who should buy it.
Leviton Decora Smart Plug D215P
The premium plug: a solid build, broad platform support, and a companion switch for lamps on a switched outlet.
Our verdict
The Leviton D215P is the best premium smart plug for buyers who value build and breadth over raw value. It joins more platforms than any other plug here, with Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple Home and Siri, SmartThings, and Sonos, plus Matter through a firmware update, and it pairs with a wire-free companion switch that no rival offers. The honest gap is energy monitoring: cheaper plugs include it and this one does not, which is hard to defend at this position. Buy it if you want a solid, premium plug for a lamp on a switched outlet, or if you already run Leviton switches; buy the KP125M if energy data matters more than the premium build.
What we like
- It works with Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple Home and Siri, SmartThings, and Sonos, with Matter available through a firmware update in the My Leviton app.
- It pairs with the wire-free Anywhere Switch Companion, so a lamp on a switched outlet can be controlled from the wall as well as the app.
- The build feels solid and purposeful, with a clear manual button on the plug for switching without a phone or voice command.
What to watch out for
- There is no energy monitoring, which is a notable gap at this position when cheaper plugs include it.
- It costs more per plug than the Kasa and Tapo options, so whole-house use adds up quickly.
- Matter support needs a firmware update through the My Leviton app, so setup takes an extra step before Matter works.
Who it is for
Buyers who want a premium build and the widest platform support, including a wireless companion for switched outlets.
Build and the companion switch
The D215P feels like a premium product in the hand, with a solid body and a clear manual button for switching without a phone. Its most useful trick is the wire-free Anywhere Switch Companion, which pairs with the plug so a lamp on a switched outlet can be controlled from the wall as well as the app. That solves a real problem: a lamp plugged into a switched outlet is useless when someone switches the outlet off at the wall, and the companion keeps control at the wall without any rewiring.
Platform support is the widest here
No other plug in this list joins as many platforms. Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple Home and Siri, SmartThings, and Sonos are all supported, and Matter arrives through a firmware update in the My Leviton app. That breadth suits households that mix platforms, and it suits buyers who already run Leviton switches and want one app for the whole home. The extra step is real, though: Matter needs that firmware update before it works, so setup takes longer than a plug with Matter out of the box.
How it stacks up
Against the Kasa KP125M, the D215P wins on build and platform breadth, while the KP125M wins on energy monitoring and cost. Against the Leviton D23LP dimmer, the D215P wins for ordinary switching, while the dimmer wins wherever a lamp needs dimming. Against the Kasa EP25, the D215P wins on platform support, while the EP25 wins on energy monitoring and the four-pack value.

Questions, answered
Does the D215P monitor energy use?
No. There is no energy monitoring on this plug, which is its main gap against cheaper rivals like the KP125M and EP25. If energy data matters, buy one of those instead.
What is the Anywhere Switch Companion?
It is a wire-free switch that pairs with the D215P, so a lamp on a switched outlet can be controlled from the wall as well as the app. It mounts without wiring and is sold separately.
Does Matter work out of the box?
No. Matter support arrives through a firmware update in the My Leviton app, so the plug needs that update before it can join a Matter setup. Alexa, Google, and Apple Home work without the update.
