Leviton Smart GFCI 15 Amp with App Alerts - Smart Ground-Fault

Our review finds the Leviton Smart GFCI 15 Amp outlet best suited for homeowners who want active protection and remote alerts for appliances in out-of-the-way locations. In this review the standout is its ability to send immediate notifications to your phone via the My Leviton app when a ground-fault trips, which makes it a strong choice for protecting refrigerators, freezers, sump pumps and other critical circuits in second homes or remote areas where daily visual checks are unlikely. The unit also self-tests continuously to help ensure dependable ground-fault protection.

Key Features

• Remote notifications: Sends alerts and trip details to your smartphone through the My Leviton app so you know which GFCI tripped and when.
• Continuous self-test: Automatically self-tests to verify the device can respond to a ground-fault at any time, providing ongoing peace of mind.
• Optional audible alarm: Includes an audible alert that can be enabled or silenced from the app to suit location and user preference.
• Tamper-resistant design: Built for safety around children and in busy areas while meeting standard outlet safety expectations.
• LED indicator light: Provides visible status and increases in intensity in darker rooms to act as a helpful night light and status cue.
• Smart home compatibility: Complements Decora Smart devices and can be combined with other My Leviton-enabled products to build a whole home solution.

Who It's For

The Leviton Smart GFCI is ideal for homeowners with appliances in remote or rarely visited locations, such as vacation homes, basements, garages and utility rooms, where knowing at once if a GFCI trips is valuable. It also suits users who want an extra layer of monitored protection for critical circuits like refrigerators, freezers and sump pumps.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers who only need a basic non-networked GFCI outlet or users without a smartphone or interest in app notifications, since the smart features are central to this product's value.

Pros & Cons
