 SmartStart

Your Decora Smart branded outlet is compatible with SmartStart

SmartStart enabled products can be added into a Z-Wave network by scanning the Z-Wave QR Code found on the top of the outlet or the back of the box with a controller providing SmartStart inclusion. No further action is required and the SmartStart product will be added automatically within 10 minutes of being switched on and in the network vicinity.


The QR Code and DSK is found on the side of the outlet. If required, the pin code is underlined on the label. This image is an example, please use the code found on the product or product packaging.

 Add your outlet to a hub

Leviton Decora Smart branded Z-Wave enabled products support two methods of inclusion. When using a Z-Wave Plus certified controller choose Network Wide Inclusion or SmartStart. If network-wide inclusion does not discover your device, try classic inclusion.
Network Wide Inclusion to A Z-Wave Network
Modern Z-Wave Plus hubs support network-wide inclusion which allows your device to be included in the network using devices already paired to your home automation hub. Start with the devices closest to the hub and work your way outward.

  2. Tap the button 1 time. The status light will quickly flash green.
  3. The outlet is now ready to learn into the Z-Wave network. Follow directions for the Z-Wave controller to complete the process.
  4. . Upon successful addition to the network, the status light will turn o and then flash green 4 times. If it was not successfully added to the network, the status light will flash red 4 times.

 Exclusion From A Z-Wave Network

When removing an outlet from a Z-Wave network, it is best practice to use the exclusion command found in the Z-Wave controller.
