Fresh off the release of the first Matter-compatible low-voltage landscape transformer just a few months ago, China-based DEWENWILS has launched another unique smart home solution designed for the great indoors. The all-new DEWENWILS Matter Plug-in Dimmer Switch offers an easy, plug-and-play experience that brings dimming and smart remote control capabilities for lamps, string lights, and more.
DEWENWILS Matter Plug-in Dimmer Switch: why it matters
Although the number of available Matter-compatible devices is growing at an incredible pace, there are still a few product categories that are lagging—including dimmable plug-in units. As far as we can tell, there are fewer than a handful of such devices available for the North American market, with DEWENWILS joining previous offerings from TP-Link's Tapo line and Leviton.
Like traditional smart plugs, the DEWENWILS Matter Plug-in Dimmer Switch enables instant remote control for all sorts of existing lighting types simply by plugging one into the on-device receptacle. However, the DEWENWILS plug goes one step further by adding full, 100% dimming to the mix, with support for up to 75W LED and 200W Incandescent bulb loads.
While it is larger than a typical smart plug, the DEWENWILS dimmer features a compact plastic design that doesn't block the other receptacle when plugged into the lower portion of a standard North American outlet. According to its product listing, the DEWENWILS dimmer measures 2.25 x 2.66 x 1.13 inches, and on its front is a single 15-amp 120V two-prong outlet, along with physical on-device controls for quick dimming.
Along with its simple plug-in design, connecting the DEWENWILS dimmer to Matter is also rather straightforward, requiring just a scan of the included pairing code to set it up with popular smart home ecosystems like Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings, and Apple Home. The DEWENWILS dimmer doesn't require a hub outside of a Matter Controller, as it connects to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi networks directly, and once up and running, it's then available for use in scenes, routines, and automation.
