Instructions for connecting the Leviton wifi switch to the app and how to troubleshoot a connection issue.

I Can't Connect my Device to my Wi-Fi Network

Before you begin, please verify that you are attempting to enroll a Decora Smart Wi-Fi device. The first 2 characters of a Decora Smart Wi-Fi device is DW (e.g. DW15S, DW6HD, DW15P, etc.). If the device begins with a DH or DZ (e.g. DH15S, DZ15S, etc.), it is not a Decora Smart Wi-Fi device and cannot be used with My Leviton.If you are having trouble connecting your Decora Smart Wi-Fi device to your Wi-Fi network, take note of where the failure is occurring during the process (as described below), and follow the troubleshooting procedures for that step in the process. Refer to this article for all of the steps in the process: Add a Decora Smart Wi-Fi Device to the My Leviton App

Also, make sure that the mobile app that you are using is named My Leviton. Other Leviton mobile app, such as Decora Smart Home or Decora Digital Dimmer & Timer cannot be used for Decora Smart Wi-Fi devices.

Unable to connect directly to the Decora Smart Wi-Fi device

In Step 2 of the process, where you attempt to connect directly to the Decora Smart Wi-Fi device that is listed in the Wi-Fi networks (it will be listed in the format of Leviton Device-xxxx), instead of connecting you receive a message stating it is "unable to connect" or simple never connects (e.g. no check mark next to the device).

The image below shows a successful connection to the Decora Smart Wi-Fi device. If the device connects and you see this screen, skip to Decora Smart Wi-Fi device will not connect to the Wi-Fi Network or Leviton Cloud.

If the mobile device does not connect to the Decora Smart Wi-Fi device at this step, please follow these troubleshooting step:

  1. Make sure you have the latest version of the My Leviton App. To ensure that you are running the latest version of the app, check for a My Leviton app update on the Apple App store or Google Play store.

  2. If available, try using a different mobile phone or tablet running the My Leviton app.
    • Follow Steps 1 and 2 and see if you are able to connect to the device. If you are able to connect, see if you can complete the process.

  3. Contact our technical support team at dssupport@leviton.com. Please include the type and model of mobile devices you are using and the model number of the Decora Smart device.

Decora Smart Wi-Fi device will not connect to the Wi-Fi Network or Leviton Cloud

If you are able to connect the mobile device to the Decora Smart Wi-Fi device (Step 2), but are getting a message that the device is unable to enroll (Step 5 - see image below), , please follow these troubleshooting step:

  1. Factory Reset the Decora Smart Wi-Fi device by pressing and holding the top paddle for 15 seconds (until the LED begins to flash red and amber), then release the paddle. After a few seconds, the LED will flash green.
  2. Pay attention to the Status LED during the remainder of the enrollment process. When you get to the step where the device joins your Wi-Fi network (right after you select your Wi-Fi network and enter the password):

    What is the color and state on the LED?

    • If the LED is solid green (or turns completely off if the light it is controlling is on), then please follow the steps in the following article: Device Does not Connect to Cloud
    • If the LED flashes amber, please make sure that you are entering the correct password for the Wi-Fi network that you are connecting to. The password is case specific. You can press the eye icon to see the text to make sure you entered it correctly.
  3. If your router has 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi signals on the same Network Name (SSID), try splitting these out into different Wi-Fi network names.

    • For example, if you router uses the same Network Name (SSID) for both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz band. The modification is to change the name of the 5GHz SSID, so that it has a different name from the name of the 2.4GHz SSID. The recommendation is to add the number 5 to then end of the existing name. For example, if the name of your SSID is Jones, then change the name of the 5GHz SSID to Jones5.
  4. Attempt to enroll the device again after following all of these steps to see if you are successful. If not, please contact our technical support team at dssupport@leviton.com. Please include the type model number of the Decora Smart device and the brand and model of your wireless router.

  5. For additional help, you can call our support department.
