Leviton announced its newest smart home solution, the Decora Smart Mini Plug-In Outlet with Wi-Fi Technology (part number DW15P). With the ability to create schedules, control activity from anywhere, and activate commands with voice control, the Mini Plug-In can make any small appliance, lamp or electronic plugged into it a smart device – simply plug the Decora Smart Mini Plug-in into an existing wall outlet.
This efficient and affordable unit is more powerful than any other Leviton smart plug, controlling up to three-fourths HP Motors and 5A LED or 1500W incandescent for on/off control of lights, fans, electronics and small appliances. Additionally, the compact size of the product allows users to stack two Mini Plug-Ins per wall outlet to control two separate items, such as a table lamp and a floor fan.
Using the My Leviton app, the Decora Smart with Wi-Fi Technology Mini Plug-In Outlet provides time-based schedules, free remote control from anywhere and optional integrated voice control with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Winning nearly two-dozen awards since launch, the entire Decora Smart product family, including switches, dimmers and other plug-in modules, provides even further customization with home and away occupancy modes, auto-shutoff countdown timers, integration with Nest, IFTTT (if this, then that) compatibility and multi-home support.
“This easy-to-use smart home solution is helping to make every home a Leviton smart home,” said Tom Leonard, vice president of product management for Leviton Energy Management, Controls & Automation. “In addition to the benefits and simplicity of the Mini Plug-In, we’ve reimagined the customer experience with a new ‘Getting Started Guide’ instructional booklet to make setup processes even easier and more efficient. This new product truly embodies the mantra of providing ‘Automation for the People.’”
Upon downloading the My Leviton app for Android and iOS, users can add up to 99 smart Leviton devices, like the Mini Plug-In Outlet, and create schedules and activities based on specific times or on-demand events that can run manually at their discretion, such as TV Time or Game Night. Advanced settings are also available for professionals or consumers alike to adjust fade rates, brightness levels, bulb types, LED functionality, countdown timers and more, to specifically personalize every aspect of a homeowner’s environment for each fixture, room and residence.
