Leviton Manufacturing Company

Leviton today announced the expansion of the Smart Sensor line with Smart Ceiling Mount Room Controllers (SRC) and Smart Ceiling Mount Sensors (CMS). The line simplifies advanced lighting controls by integrating several control strategies into a self-contained, cost-effective, and easy-to-install device. By requiring just two devices instead of the industry's standard four for code compliance requirements, the solutions streamline installation.

Users have additional control with the ability to wirelessly control the sensors with the new Wireless Companion Switch and Wireless Companion Dimmer. The solution is fully configurable with the Smart Sensor App, allowing users to tailor lighting control strategies to meet the intent of any space.

"Our Smart Ceiling Mount Room Controllers and Sensors provide an industry-exclusive powerhouse solution, requiring just two devices to install for a complete lighting control system, rather than the industry's typical four. They not only ensure code compliance but also simplify the design, installation, and configuration processes," said Tom Leonard, vice president of controls at Leviton. "We designed these solutions to help our customers meet project requirements with fewer components, while reducing hardware and labor costs without the need for commissioning. All configuration is done with the Smart Sensor App."

Along with occupancy/vacancy sensing, dimming, and daylight harvesting, Leviton's SRC and CMS solutions can be wirelessly networked to expand the field-of-view for spaces up to 10,000 square feet and control up to ten zones independently. Users can add manual control with 3-way or multi-way control with Wireless Companion Dimmers, Wireless Companion Switches, or PLVSW Low Voltage Keypads. The new Room Controllers and Sensors are also UL924 listed for emergency lighting.

"These new solutions are based on the same platform as the popular Leviton Provolt Room Controller (PRC) and Sensor line," said Leonard. "We've engineered expanded capabilities into the new hardware and built additional configuration settings into the Smart Sensor App for enhanced control."

SRC and CMS devices feature an out-of-the-box default mode and meet minimum code requirements with auto-ON/auto-OFF operation and a 20-minute timeout. The Wireless Companion Dimmer, Wireless Companion Switch, or Low Voltage Keypads can be added for manual control and feature an out-of-the-box default mode. New capabilities in the Smart Sensor App include expanded options to finetune sensor settings to meet specific Sequence of Operation (SOO) requirements, scheduling, and multi-room templates for fast room replication.

Smart Ceiling Mount Room Controllers and Smart Ceiling Mount Sensors can be used to comply with IECC, ASHRAE 90.1, and 2022 Title 24, Part 6 occupancy/vacancy sensing, dimming, partial-ON, partial-OFF, daylight harvesting, plug load control, and demand response requirements.

Leviton today announced that three of its electrical solutions were recognized as "Best" in the building products industry by the 6th Annual PRODUCTS Most Valuable Products Awards. The solutions were reviewed and selected as winners by an expert panel of judges comprised of builders, remodelers, and designers, and will be featured in special issues of both Pro Builder and Pro Remodeler. The Leviton PRODUCTS MVP Awards recipients are:

• Decora Smart® Wi-Fi® Outdoor Plug-In Switch – Gold Winner in the Outdoor Living Category
• EV Series Charging Station with My Leviton™ app compatibility – Silver Winner in the Connected Home Category
• Decora Edge™ Wiring Devices – Bronze Winner in the Plumbing, Mechanical, and Electrical Category

"These awards affirm Leviton's steadfast commitment to innovation and empowering our customers with solutions that enhance ease of use, safety, efficiency, and sustainability," said Rick Forbush, director of national builder sales for Leviton. "We are proud to be recognized by industry experts through the PRODUCTS MVP Awards, acknowledging our latest advancements in electrical building solutions."

With awards across three categories, the PRODUCTS MVP recognition reflects the scope of Leviton solutions, which seamlessly integrate and operate throughout an entire home, delivering energy savings, convenience, and reliability for a whole home solution. Additional details about the winning products include:

• The Decora Smart Wi-Fi Outdoor Plug-In Switch is the first outdoor plug-in to support Matter, offering convenience and control for users to remotely manage outdoor lighting, decorations, fans, fountain pumps, and more via the My Leviton app, alongside their other smart home devices. Its superior weather-resistant design ensures durability and safety in extreme outdoor conditions.
• The Leviton EV Series Charging Station with added compatibility to the My Leviton app enables homeowners to conveniently manage, track, and schedule their EV charging sessions in the same Leviton dashboard where they can control smart lighting, the load center, and other Leviton connected devices. This provides users convenience, peace of mind, and the opportunity for reduced electrical costs by scheduling or starting charging sessions during off-peak utility hours.
• Decora Edge Wiring Devices offer a faster, easier, and safer way to install electrical devices for the home. Compared with traditional switches and outlets, Decora Edge revolutionizes installation by enabling users to simply push stripped 14-gauge or 12-gauge electrical building wire into a termination port, and close a lever that audibly clicks into place, terminating the connection with complete confidence.

The PRODUCTS MVP awards program is part of a family of award-winning building and remodeling publications, including Pro Builder, Pro Remodeler, and Custom Builder.
