Smart dimmers connect directly to the power lines without any transformer, and so are particularly susceptible to this kind of damage.

No need for an hub which is an extra step and an extra cost that i don't feel i need.
This unit is worth the extra money vs the smaller , less expensive unit.

Competitiveness
I also like that i can connect leviton's other products to the same app and control everything with alexa too.
It's a drag to have to use other vendors, as you end up with a zillion different apps for different devices.
The price is a lot more palatable than the hue set up when you add in the need for a bridge.
I went with the leviton product over other similar plug-ins for a couple reasons.

To be fair ill say that contrary to other reports the wifi has been very reliable and switch responsiveness to wifi commands has always been timely but like others i had trouble after power outages a need to reset breakers to restore connectivity etc

Also twice i had the system go haywire with lights turning on and off on their own which was quite scary

I first thought it was hackers but leviton assured me it was an issue with their cloud platform still very unnerving

The mobile application user interface can be difficult to navigate but i got used to it and can live with that

The real issue has been the extremely high failure rate upwards of 50 maybe 75 of those i purchased have failed since they were installed even while my house is newer built 2007 with high quality wiring required neutral wire and fairly stable reliable power

Leviton has thus far honored their warranty but not always as quickly as id like and this is still a hassle
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Consider you have the cost of the device itself and the further time and effort for installation or electrician cost if youre not installing yourself which is multiplied by the high failure rate to account for replacements along with being unable to turn lights on and off during a failure sometimes even manually until the unit is replaced
