Leviton has announced a new lineup of HomeKit-compatible Decora Smart lighting control accessories. Two new in-wall dimmers and a new in-wall switch will provide direct HomeKit integration with no additional hubs or bridges required, with support for Apple’s iOS 10 Home app and Siri-based voice control, as well as Leviton’s own Decora Smart Home iOS app. The new products include a 1000W Universal Dimmer, 600W Universal Dimmer and a 15A Universal Rocker Switch, all of which follow Leviton’s well-known Decora brand design motif with true rocker paddles, along with embedded LEDs to display illumination level. Advanced lighting control and customization is also available via the Decora Smart Home app, including bulb type, adjustable fade rate, minimum/maximum brightness levels and more, and the new switches also support multi-way lighting scenarios — such as hallways or staircases — in which one fixture is controlled by two devices. Common color change kits and screwless wall plates are also available for the new smart switches. Leviton Decora Smart HomeKit-enabled lighting control accessories are expected to be available this April. Pricing has not yet been announced.
