Now that you have successfully installed your new Leviton Decora Smart with Wi-Fi hardware, we will walk you through the setup and usage of the app, My Leviton. If at any time you have questions, please email SASupport@Leviton.com for assistance or use the in-app support tool. To get started, visit the iTunes or Google Play Store to locate and download the free app, My Leviton. It’s important to note that there are many Leviton apps available, but you specifically want My Leviton, which is designed for your new Wi-Fi devices.
Once you have downloaded the app, please sign up for an account by inputting your name, email, and password. Keep in mind that your password must contain eight or more characters, including both upper and lowercase letters, at least one number, and one special character. Additionally, you cannot repeat three or more characters in a row. Leviton values your security and privacy, and these requirements are in place to ensure a robust IoT infrastructure. After signing up, you will receive an email verification for your new account as a security measure. Open the email and click the "Verify Your Email" button. A confirmation notice will thank you for registering.
Next, return to the My Leviton app and input your new username and password before pressing Sign In. The first step in your new smart home setup is to establish the resident's name. To adjust the default name, tap the text box and enter your new information, then hit Continue. To enable proper sunset and sunrise schedules based on your home's location, you need to activate location-based features. You can either select "Get My Location" to automatically determine your location using GPS or manually enter your address by selecting "Enter the Address." For precision, we will use "Enter the Address." Once you have entered the address, press Finish.
Now, press "Add a Device" to set up your first Smart Dimmer, Light Switch, or Plug-in Device. Before beginning this process, ensure that your devices are installed, that you have internet access, and that you are using the proper encryption, if applicable. Step one is to confirm that the dimmer, switch, or plug-in is ready to join the Wi-Fi network. If the LED on your Leviton device is quickly flashing green, it is ready to enroll, and you can hit Continue to advance to step two. If the device is not flashing green, you can quickly reset it. To reset an in-wall switch or dimmer, press and hold the top of the paddle for 14 seconds until the LED flashes orange and red, followed by a quick flash of green.
Now that the app recognizes which device you would like to connect first, open your phone's Wi-Fi settings and select the Leviton device from the list of available Wi-Fi networks. This action will establish a temporary communication network with the device. Once you have selected the Leviton device, return to the My Leviton app to continue the setup. Next, select the home's Wi-Fi network you wish to connect to and hit Continue in the top right corner. If applicable, enter the password, remembering that passwords are case sensitive. You can use the eyeball icon to display the password for visual confirmation. After confirming the password, hit Continue in the top right corner.
Your network information is now transferring, and your Leviton device is connecting to the Wi-Fi network while communicating with the Leviton cloud. If you encounter any issues at this step, please ensure that your password is entered correctly or email SASupport@Leviton.com for assistance. Finally, it's time to name the device. Be specific here—consider names like "wall sconces," "porch light," etc.—and then hit Continue in the top right corner. Press Finish, and you have now set up your first Wi-Fi device. You can repeat these steps for additional dimmers, switches, plug-in dimmers, and plug-in outlets.
Now you're ready to create schedules, activities, and more. We will conduct this exercise in the next video. If you have any questions, please visit Leviton.com/decora-smart or email SASupport@Leviton.com for further assistance.
