How do I Reconfigure the Wireless Settings for 1st Gen Decora Smart® Wi-Fi Products?

The following are instructions for reconfiguring the wireless settings for 1st Gen Decora Smart® Wi-Fi products. These products begin with the part number DW. If your product part model number starts with D2, please refer to the article How do I Reconfigure the Wireless Settings for 2nd Gen Decora Smart® Wi-Fi Products?

The Reconfigure Wireless option allows a device to join a new wireless network while retaining all of the device information.  This is helpful when configuring a device to connect to a Wi-Fi network with a different SSID and/or Wi-Fi password.

Reconfigure Wireless

To reconfigure the wireless settings (SSID and/or Wi-Fi password) on an existing 2nd Gen Decora Smart Wi-Fi device, place the device into enrollment mode:

• Hold the top of the rocker or button for 7 seconds
• After the first 7 seconds, the LED will turn amber, release the button
  • Wait for the LED to begin flashing green

Locate the device card on the My Leviton Dashboard screen or the Devices screen, and tap the 3 dots [⋮] in the upper right corner.  Select Settings.

Select Reconfigure Wireless and then press Yes, let's go.

The Decora Smart device must be added to your Wi-Fi network. To accomplish this, the app will guide you through the steps for connecting your mobile device to the Decora Smart device, providing the Wi-Fi network information, and confirming the Wi-Fi device successfully connected to the cloud.

Press Go to my Wi-Fi setting button.

If you are running iOS 14 or later on an iOS device, you will be prompted to allow the My Leviton app to communicate to your Leviton device over the local Wi-Fi network.

Press the Got it! Now go to my Wi-Fi Setting button.

The app will bring you to the Settings screen on your mobile device. Select Wi-Fi.

Find the Leviton Decora Smart Wi-Fi device in the list of available Wi-Fi networks (it will be listed in the format of Leviton Device xxxx).

Select it to connect your mobile device to the Leviton Decora Smart device's Wi-Fi network.

Navigate back to the My Leviton app.  Once you've returned, the My Leviton app will automatically discover the Leviton Wi-Fi device.

If you are using an Android device, advance to Connect to a Wi-Fi network.

Allow local network access on iOS devices
If you are running iOS 14 or later on an iOS device, you will be prompted to allow the My Leviton app to communicate to your Leviton device over the local Wi-Fi network. Choose Allow. 

If you choose Don't Allow, refer to the article 'I am Running iOS 14 and When I Try To Enroll a Device The Icon Spins and Will Not Connect'

Connect to a Wi-Fi network

The app will provide a list of Wi-Fi networks available to the Decora Smart device. Choose the network with the best signal strength available that you are authorized to join.

Note: If your SSID is hidden, it will need to be visible during the enrollment process.  Once the Decora Smart is enrolled, the SSID can be re-hidden. 

Press Next.

Enter the Wi-Fi password for the Wi-Fi network that you selected.

Note, passwords are case specific. If you are in a safe location to show your password, press the eye icon to see the password that you entered. 

Press Next.

The My Leviton app then passes the Wi-Fi credentials to the Decora Smart device.

During the process, the LED on the device will indicate the current steps during setup. If the load is not in the off state when starting, the LED indications below may not be an exact match.

Watch the LED. If your device does not successfully connect, advance to Connection Failed.
