Leviton unveils its new 'hubless' home automation solution
Leviton is introducing its newest smart home offering: a "hubless" home automation solution equipped with remote access capabilities, app-based scheduling and voice control.
"The Decora Smart with Wi-Fi technology product line is a revolutionary innovation that brings affordable automation to the masses," said Richard Westfall, VP and general manager of Leviton energy management, controls and automation. "With nothing more than a new Leviton device, your Wi-Fi network and a smartphone, homeowners can have a smart home with remote access, scheduling and voice control. Add multi-way capability, advanced technology for low-wattage bulbs, plus multiple color options and wallplates to the offering — and this is the most complete and advanced IoT lighting control on the market."
Decora Smart with Wi-Fi technology allows homeowners to automate their interior and exterior lighting using the My Leviton app, creating schedules and activities based on specific times or events (for example: a front porch light turning on at sunset, or a simple voice command to turn all interior lights off).
The devices can also be connected to Amazon Echo, Dot, Tap or Alexa-embedded products, such as the Nucleus touchscreen intercom, to provide voice control.
The product lineup includes both 600W and 1000W in-wall dimmers and 15 amp switches that are all multi-way capable, as well as plug-in outlets and plug-in dimmers. The devices support LED, CFL and incandescent bulbs, and they're compatible with sensitive low-wattage LED bulbs.
Advanced settings can also adjust fade rates, brightness levels, bulb types and more to precisely customize the right ambiance for every room.
The products all feature an updated Decora Smart aesthetic with sleek, modern features.
