These counts describe the available data, not a quality score. More features do not automatically make a better device.
Consider your setup
Confirm which features appear in Apple Home and whether extra hardware or a subscription is needed for your intended use.
Inspect the specificationsConsider your setup
Check the integration method, supported model and firmware. A catalog Yes does not establish local control or official support.
Inspect the specificationsConsider your setup
Confirm the exact device type and the features exposed in your chosen platform. Protocol support does not establish feature parity across apps.
Inspect the specificationsYour priorities, side by side
Mark the specifications you care about. Open manufacturer sources for verification scope; fields without citations remain catalog data. Expand notes for other qualifications.

802.11 b/g/n on 2.4 GHz, with WPA, WPA2, WPA3 or open security
The dimmer reaches the Lutron Smart Hub, Pico remotes and Caseta motion sensors over Lutron's own Clear Connect RF rather than Wi-Fi, which is why the lights keep responding when the router is down
Leviton's network specification is 2.4 GHz only
Bluetooth v5.0 on board, and the CSA Matter certificate lists Wi-Fi and Bluetooth as the transports of this model
This is the Wi-Fi model; Leviton's Z-Wave switches are a separate Decora Smart line
The LED can be set to light when the load is on, when the load is off (the default) or to stay off, from the My Leviton app or the switch's own setup mode
Lutron documents that the Diva's status LED can be switched on or off from the Lutron app (it is on by default), and the same screen adjusts the dimmer's high-end and low-end trim
Schedules with sunrise and sunset triggers, room scenes, activities and an auto-shutoff timer in the My Leviton app, with schedules stored on the device so they keep running during an internet outage
Scenes, schedules, geofencing and Smart Away from the Lutron app, plus up to 10 Pico remotes or Caseta motion sensors paired directly to the dimmer with no hub at all
Onboard memory keeps the configuration and the schedules, and the switch returns to its last state when power is restored
Power failure memory: should power be interrupted, the control returns to the level it was set to before the interruption
Status LED that illuminates when the lights are off so the switch is easy to find in the dark, and reports connectivity and device status
A white soft-glow light bar runs beside the slider and shows the light level, which is what makes the dimmer readable in a dark room
The switch is wired to the load it controls; the wire-free half of the system is the separate Decora Smart Anywhere Companion (DAWSC)
The dimmer is wired to the load it controls; the wire-free half of the system is the separate Pico remote or the Claro accessory switch
Leviton lists Amazon Alexa control for the D315S
Lutron lists Amazon Alexa among the platforms Caseta works with, through the Lutron Smart Hub
Leviton lists Apple Home and Siri, and the switch is Matter certified, so Apple Home commissions it over Matter
Lutron lists Apple Home among the platforms Caseta works with; the Apple Home technology sits in the smart hub, so Siri controls the dimmer once it is paired to one
Leviton lists Google Home and Hey Google voice control for the D315S
Lutron lists Google Assistant among the platforms Caseta works with, through the Lutron Smart Hub
Leviton lists Home Assistant, which is a certified Matter controller; the core Leviton Decora Smart Wi-Fi integration also connects the My Leviton account
The core Lutron Caseta integration connects to the Lutron Caseta Smart Hub (L-BDG2-WH) and exposes wall dimmers as lights
Matter ready out of the box, certified by the CSA under certificate CSA25943MAT47253-24; the setup code is on the device, on the packaging and in the My Leviton app, and the switch can be commissioned into several Matter controllers
The CSA certified-product database holds no Matter certification for Lutron (only three Zigbee 3.0 Aurora dimmers), and Lutron's own Caseta compatibility page never mentions Matter
Leviton lists SmartThings, and Matter certification grants the Works with SmartThings path
Lutron lists Samsung SmartThings among the platforms Caseta works with, through the Lutron Smart Hub
Load rating of 120VAC, 60Hz
Operating voltage 120 V~ 50/60 Hz, listed for the DVRF-6L in Lutron's Caseta load controls specification submittal
Leviton's ratings chart lists LED/CFL loads up to 3A alongside the 15A general use and 1/3 HP motor ratings
Dimmable CFL up to 150 W, listed alongside LED in the derating chart of the Diva's own installation guide
Rated for motor loads up to 1/3 HP, so it can switch ceiling fans, exhaust fans and pumps
Dimmable LED rated for 120 V~, up to 150 W with Lutron's LED+ forward-phase dimming
A neutral wire in the wallbox is required; Leviton's no-neutral Wi-Fi switch is the separate DN15S, which needs the MLWSB bridge
Simple two-wire installation, so no neutral wire is needed in the wallbox
Rated 15A general use at 120VAC, which covers incandescent and other general purpose loads
Incandescent and halogen loads, 25 W minimum and 600 W maximum when the dimmer is not ganged
600 W single gang, derated to 500 W in a double gang and 400 W in a triple gang wallbox
Neither the D315S installation instructions nor Leviton's published specifications describe an over-temperature cutoff
The dimmer has an Over Temperature Protection (OTP) mode: it drops the load and blinks the light bar four times when it runs too hot, typically after being overloaded or ganged without derating
An overload is caught by the thermal protection rather than by a separate power cutoff, so exceeding the wattage rating is prevented by the derating chart, not by the dimmer
Lutron documents surge withstand testing to IEEE C62.41-1991, which is immunity rather than a protective cutoff, and claims no overvoltage protection function
