Installation requires electrical knowledge.
If you are unsure of any steps, consult an electrician.
Things to consider:
To control your switch from more than one location, such as in a 3-way or multi-way, you will need either a wired DD0SR Companion device, or a wire-free DAWSC Anywhere Companion device (see page 14). Learn more about Companion devices and find connection instructions at leviton.com/decorasmart.

What you need to make it work:

• A 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network with high speed internet.

• An iOS (12.0 or later) or AndroidTM (8.0 or later) mobile device.
  NOTE: Make sure Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are enabled on your mobile device.

• A My Leviton account, if connecting using the My Leviton App.

Identify your wires

WARNING: TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK OR DEATH, turn off power at the circuit breaker.

Check your wallbox:

1. Remove wallplate and disconnect existing switch.
2. Restore power. Carefully test wires with voltage tester to find the line (hot) wire.
3. Turn off power at the circuit breaker.
4. Mark the wires as shown below. Please note neutral wires are required to operate this device.
   Quick tip: Neutral wires are typically white and will be found bundled inside the electrical box.

If your wall box looks different, call an electrician.

Wire your switch

Single pole installation:

1. Work only one connection at a time.
2. Connect wires as shown using the included wire connectors.

NOTE:

• Neutral connection is required.
• The YELLOW/RED traveler wire is only used in 3-way applications; remember to put a wire connector on the YELLOW/RED traveler wire even if not in use.

If your wall box contains a different wiring configuration, contact Leviton’s technical support team or consult an electrician.

Test and install

1. Restore power. Status LED should flash GREEN indicating your switch is ready to be enrolled.
2. After powering on the switch to confirm it is receiving power, turn the power back off again at the breaker prior to completing the installation.

Turn off power at the circuit breaker before screwing in your switch.

3. Gently push wires into wallbox. Screw switch to box.

What to do if…

• Switch is wired and installed but the light does not respond:

  • Make sure power has been restored at the circuit breaker.
  • Verify wiring connections are correct.

• When power is applied to the switch, the light is off and does not respond:

  • For proper operation the switch needs a line (hot), neutral, load, and ground connection.
  • Confirm the white conductor is a neutral.

• My lights work but they are flickering:
  Unscrew light bulb and test with voltage tester to make sure a line (hot) and neutral wire are connected to the light.

• Not connected to Wi-Fi:

  • If your device is setup in the My Leviton app, select your device, then select “Device Settings”. On the “Device Settings” screen, select “Reconfigure Wireless”.
  • Follow the prompts to reconfigure your device and update the Wi-Fi settings.

• How do I clean my device?
