Can motion detection be scheduled with a D2MSD Motion Sensing Dimmer?

Yes. Using the My Leviton app, you can create schedules to enable and disable when the motion sensor on the D2MSD is activated to turn the connected light(s) on/off. You can think of it as scheduling a motion snooze. Snoozing temporarily disables your device’s motion sensor. 

This can be used so that the D2MSD only turns the connected light(s) on/off during certain hours when motion is detected. It can also be used to disable the motion sensor so that it doesn't interfere with schedules used to turn the connected light(s) on/off.

In order to create a motion schedule for a D2MSD:

  • The D2MSD must be running firmware version 1.6.6 or later
  • The My Leviton app must be 3.57 or later

To create a Motion Schedule:

1. Select the plus sign icon on the bottom toolbar.

Note: Your schedule will continue to run even if you experience an interruption with your Internet.  When a Decora Smart Wi-Fi device connects to the My Leviton Cloud Service, it receives current time, the location's time for sunrise/sunset, and schedules.  As long as power remains, the schedules programmed via the My Leviton App will continue to run even if the Internet service is lost.
