To complete the firmware update, log in to the My Leviton app to enroll in Leviton’s Matter Early Access Program. Once enrolled, Matter-certified firmware can be installed on your compatible devices that have been enrolled to My Leviton using the System Updates tool. Click here for directions.

While enrollment in the Matter Early Access Program is optional, Matter enabling your devices offers many benefits including secure local communication with 3rd party Matter controllers such as compatible Amazon, Google, Apple, and SmartThings devices over your Wi-Fi network. If you choose not to update, your devices will continue to work as they do today.

If you are already using your Decora Smart Wi-Fi devices with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings, IFTTT, or Schlage, updating your compatible Decora Smart Wi-Fi 2nd Gen devices to Matter will not impact your existing integrations. 

If you are an Apple Home user, after the Matter update, your devices will be able to connect to Apple Home using Matter instead of HomeKit and will need to be re-enrolled to the Apple Home app using the Matter pairing code provided by the My Leviton app. Note, controlling Matter accessories with the Apple Home App and Siri requires an Apple Home hub such as a HomePod or Apple TV running the latest software. HomeKit devices and Matter devices can work alongside one another in the Apple Home app.

Matter enabled devices can be connected to supported platforms such as Amazon Alexa, Apple Home, Google Home, Samsung SmartThings, and more. 

After enrolling in Leviton’s Matter Early Access Program, you are able to upgrade to Matter regardless of when you purchased your compatible Decora Smart Wi-Fi 2nd Gen device.

If your packaging has a Matter logo on it, you are good to go and your device will work with Matter straight out of the box.
