Leviton announced that the award-winning Decora Smart Wi-Fi 2nd Gen 600W Dimmer, 15A Switch, Mini Plug-In Dimmer, and Mini Plug-In Switch now have Matter support.
Customers will be able to simply enroll in Leviton’s Matter Early Access Program using the My Leviton app. Matter firmware can be downloaded to their devices once they have subscribed. Existing and new My Leviton users can now connect their Decora Smart Wi-Fi 2nd Gen Dimmer, 2nd Gen Switch, 2nd Gen Mini Plug-In Dimmer, or 2nd Gen Mini Plug-In Switch to any Matter-enabled smart home platform of their choice, including Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home, Samsung SmartThings, and more.
The Dimmer, Switch, and smart plugs are the first items in the Decora Smart Wi-Fi 2nd Gen portfolio to gain Matter certification. More Wi-Fi 2nd Gen devices are planned for Matter compatibility in the future, with all of them available via a free firmware upgrade in the My Leviton app.
“Our team is proud to be able to bring Matter support to our core Decora Smart Wi-Fi 2nd Gen products to help lead the way with Matter smart lighting and load control,” said James Shurte, Leviton’s senior product manager of smart home. “Giving Decora Smart customers the ability to connect their devices to any Matter certified platform adds additional value to our award-winning product line.”
The simple enrollment and compatibility provided by Matter will make it easier for device owners to connect to their preferred smart home systems. Furthermore, all customers can continue to use the My Leviton app, which includes a variety of features and customization options, such as tuning the lighting control performance of bulbs and fixtures with fade rates, preset light levels, and minimum/maximum dim/bright adjustments, as well as night settings, away mode, custom dashboards, and more. The My Leviton app also simplifies the configuration and control of Leviton Smart Circuit Breakers and EV Series auto chargers, resulting in an energy management platform and unified experience.
