Welcome

Leviton’s Decora Smart Wi-Fi Outdoor
Plug-In Switch makes it easy to add smart
control to outdoor lighting, such as string
lights, holiday lights, and landscape
lighting. With a 15A rating and support
for motor loads up to 3/4 HP, you can
also control holiday decorations and
inflatables, fountain pumps, outdoor fans,
aquarium pumps, and other electronics
and small appliances.

Use the My Leviton app to create a
schedule, set the run time, select
sunrise/sunset options, or enable the
built in light sensor. You can also pair a
wireless Anywhere Companion Switch for
convenient wall-mount control.

Connect to your smart home platform of
choice. The Outdoor Plug-In Switch works
with Matter, Amazon Alexa, Google Home,
Apple Home/Siri, and more. Use your voice
or your mobile device with the My Leviton
app when you are away from home.

access point or add an additional access point to increase
your home’s Wi-Fi network coverage.

• Make sure your Outdoor Plug-In Switch is not installed inside
of a metal enclosure.

• Alternatively, in the My Leviton app, select “Device Settings”,
and select “Reconfigure Wireless”; follow the prompts to
