INTRODUCTION
The next generation of lighting control technology is here with
the new Decora
®
Digital Switch with Bluetooth
®
Technology. This
innovative device works using the Leviton Decora
®
Digital Dimmer &
Timer app that can be easily downloaded to smartphones or tablets
and paired to the Leviton Switch using Bluetooth
technology.
®
Decora
®
Digital Devices give users point-to-point local control to
automate lighting, bridging the gap between standard switches and
whole-house automation systems.
Enjoy the combined functions of a standard wall switch and
a countdown or programmable timer switch in one attractive
device. Use of the app allows greater flexibility for accurate timer
functionality and makes pushing buttons for timed events a tedious
chore of the past.
The Leviton Decora
®
Digital Dimmer & Timer app can be easily
downloaded to mobile devices and is compatible with Android and
iOS smartphones or tablets. The app is easy to use with simple,
intuitive on-screen menu options to independently control Decora
Digital dimmers and switches throughout the home.
