Towel Warmer Controls

Yes. Any hardwired WarmlyYours electric towel warmer can be paired with the Hardwired WiFi Switch (GK16-30090-0003) to enable full remote control from anywhere.

Using the My Leviton app (free, iOS and Android), you can:

• Turn your towel warmer on or off from your phone over Wi-Fi or mobile data
• Create schedules and automate on/off times
• Monitor switch status in real time

The WiFi switch also integrates with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for hands-free voice control — no hub required.

Note: Installation requires a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network and a neutral wire at the switch location. The switch replaces a standard single-gang wall switch.

No, floor heating thermostats are not compatible with the towel warmers. We would also not recommend using both devices on the same control, as it does not take the same amount of time to reach the ideal temperature for each product, which could lead to one unit to overheat and the other to not function properly.

Yes, a regular (non-dimming) light switch can be used as an external switch to control a towel warmer, in addition to the built-in switch on the towel warmer itself.

However, do not use a dimmer switch — dimmer switches are not compatible with electric towel warmers and can damage the unit or create a safety hazard.

Note: A GFCI breaker powering the switch may be required by local Electrical Code.

Yes. The Hardwired Programmable Timer (GK16-30090-0002) lets you schedule your towel warmer to switch on at a set time each morning so your towels are warm and ready when you step out of the shower. You can program up to 6 on/off events per day across a 7-day schedule — for example, on at 6:45 AM and off at 8:00 AM on weekdays only.

The Hardwired WiFi Switch (GK16-30090-0003) offers the same automation through the My Leviton app, with additional features like sunrise/sunset-based triggers and remote control from your phone.

Both controls replace a standard single-gang wall switch and are compatible with any hardwired WarmlyYours towel warmer.

Yes. WarmlyYours plug-in towel warmers connect to a standard 120V outlet and typically include a built-in overheat protection thermostat. You can control them simply by plugging them in and unplugging when not in use.

For added convenience, you can plug a plug-in towel warmer into a smart outlet or smart plug (sold separately at hardware stores) to control it via a smartphone app or voice assistant—no hardwired control required.

The WarmlyYours hardwired controls (GK16-30090-0006, GK16-30090-0002, GK16-30090-0003) are designed for hardwired towel warmers only and are installed in a wall electrical box. They are not used with plug-in models.

The Hardwired WiFi Switch (GK16-30090-0003) is a Leviton Decora Smart switch and integrates with the following platforms:

• Amazon Alexa — Use voice commands to turn your towel warmer on or off (e.g., "Alexa, turn on the towel warmer").
• Google Assistant — Works with Google Home and Nest devices for voice and app-based control.
• My Leviton App — Schedule, monitor, and remotely control your towel warmer from anywhere.

Apple HomeKit is not supported on this model. For Apple Home users, the My Leviton app serves as the primary remote control interface.

The switch requires a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network and a neutral wire at the switch location. It installs in a standard single-gang wall box.

Here is a quick guide to choosing the right control for your hardwired towel warmer:

• I want simple, occasional use with no programming → Countdown Timer (GK16-30090-0006). Press and hold to select your run time (30 min–4 hr). The warmer shuts off automatically.

• I want to control it from my phone or with voice commands → WiFi Switch (GK16-30090-0003). Works with Alexa, Google, Apple HomeKit/Siri, SmartThings, and IFTTT via the My Leviton app. Create schedules from your phone from anywhere.

1. Press the SET button to enter programming mode.

WarmlyYours hardwired towel warmers are compatible with the following 120V controls, sold separately:

• Hardwired 4-Setting Countdown Timer (GK16-30090-0006) — Four preset run durations: 30 min, 1 hr, 2 hr, and 4 hr. Simple press-and-hold operation. Best for bathrooms where you want the rack to run for a set period then shut off automatically.
• Hardwired Programmable Timer (GK16-30090-0002) — Up to 50 scheduled on/off events per week with a backlit LCD and astronomical clock. Best for recurring daily schedules (e.g. warm towels ready before your morning shower every day).

Countdown Timer (GK16-30090-0006)

• Turns the warmer on for a preset duration (e.g., 30, 60, or 120 minutes), then shuts off automatically
• No daily schedule — you trigger it manually each time
• Best for households with variable schedules or shared bathrooms

Programmable Timer (GK16-30090-0002)

• Lets you set specific on and off times for each day of the week (up to 6 events/day)
