We show you how to refine your user experience significantly by customizing your device's settings, including bulb type, LED behavior, fade rates, brightness levels, and more. Discover how to assign devices to rooms and control them individually or as a whole.

This video is a comprehensive guide for anyone looking to maximize their Leviton Decora Smart experience, from setup to customization.
In previous videos, we have shown how to install the hardware of Leviton Decora Smart with Wi-Fi technology, as well as how to set it up in the app. Now, we will demonstrate how to customize functionality and add items such as schedules and activities to enhance the unique experience and ambiance of every dimmer in every room. To begin, press the plus button in the top right-hand corner to create rooms, design time-based schedules, or craft on-demand activities. Additionally, you can group devices into rooms or even add a second home, like a vacation house.
Before proceeding with any other tasks, let's customize how our new device functions. This optional step refines the user experience significantly. Simply navigate to the Settings menu, select Settings from the list, and make adjustments that include bulb type, LED behavior, fade rates, brightness levels, and more. Once you have configured these settings, press the plus button in the top right-hand corner again to create rooms, design time-based schedules, or craft on-demand activities. Since we already have a dimmer installed, let's place it into the appropriate room by selecting Add Room. You can name the room anything you like and then click Save.
To add devices to the room, touch the word and select Room Setup and Configuration. Next, press the Devices icon and choose Assign Device. Select the device that was just added and click Save. Now, you can control the entire room or the individual dimmer by pressing the icon next to the name. The next step is to create an activity, which is an on-demand scene such as game night, movie time, or party mode—events that occur occasionally but are not on a preset schedule. You can name the activity anything you wish. Hit Continue, decide whether you want to easily adjust an entire room or a specific device, and then select the desired device or room.
Alternatively, you could create a scene called Party Mode, where the sconces dim to 25%, overhead lights adjust to 33%, and the chandelier brightens to 75%. To enact these activities, simply press the green play icon from the menu. Finally, you can create a time or sunrise/sunset-based schedule to automate multiple changes. Press Add a Schedule Now, name the schedule "Goodnight," assign the devices, and then specify the timing. For example, select a time of 10:00 PM along with the days Monday through Friday. At this time, the room and any other desired lights or loads will automatically turn off. Click Save, and you now have your device installed, enrolled, activated, and scheduled.
That's a lot of fun, but there's even more you can do. You can connect an Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant for voice control by following the in-app connectivity instructions step by step. If you have any questions, refer to the support section of the app or email us at sasupport@leviton.com. Now you're ready to add more devices, schedules, activities, or even residences to your My Leviton app. It's not just about setup; you can control your lights and plug loads from anywhere using this same app, whether you're in your backyard or at the beach.
