Leviton has expanded the capability of its Decora Smart lighting products by integrating Google Assistant voice control, offering users remote access, scheduling and customizable user setting.
The latest update to the Decora Smart with Wi-Fi Technology product line offers “hubless” lighting control. Users can use Google Home, a voice-enabled speaker powered by the Google Assistant, to control smart devices as well as interior and exterior lights around the home.
Users can now control their Decora devices and activities by voice using Google Assistant products, including Google Home and Pixel, through the free My Leviton app and new My Leviton action.
When using the My Leviton app and action, users must specify by name which device to activate. Examples of voice-controlled lighting commands include “Ok Google, turn [My Leviton device name] On / Off” and “Ok Google, dim [My Leviton device name] to [1-100]%”
With only a dimmer, Wi-Fi and Google Home voice assistant, homeowners can have total vocal command over their lighting and plug loads.
“This affordable offering includes the free My Leviton app with remote control and lifestyle-based schedules, and the best part is that there is no extra hardware such as bridges, gateways or hubs,” said Richard Westfall, vice president and general manager of Leviton Energy Management, Controls & Automation.
In using the My Leviton app, users can create schedules and activities based on specific times or on-demand events that can run manually at their discretion. Advanced settings are also available to adjust fade rates, brightness levels, bulb types and more, to specifically personalize every aspect of a homeowner’s lighting.
Electrical contractors may purchase Decora Smart products from their rreferred distributor and authorized Leviton retailers. Google Assistant devices are sold separately.
