Leviton Launches First Matter-Enabled Outdoor Smart Plug
Leviton, a global leader in smart home solutions, has just unveiled its newest addition to the award-winning Decora Smart Wi-Fi line - the first-ever Matter Outdoor Smart Plug.
This welcome entry into the Matter ecosystem is the first product launched by Leviton with Matter enabled out of the box. Previous devices have received firmware updates that enable Matter, but first it must be paired with the My Leviton app.
Why You Might Need It
Versatility: Whether it's string lights, holiday decorations, landscape lighting, or even your outdoor aquarium pump, this plug-in switch is your go-to for remote ON/OFF switching.
Weather-Proof: Come rain, snow, or the scorching sun, the Decora Smart Plug is built to last. With an impressive operating temperature range of -20F to 122F and an IP65 rating, it's resistant to dirt, dust, moisture, and UV corrosion.
Smart Controls: Forget about manual programming. With Leviton's Anywhere Switch Companion, you can control your outdoor lighting from a wire-free wall switch. Plus, its built-in light sensor ensures your lights turn on as evening approaches and off as dawn breaks.
While Matter support out of the box includes on/off functionality, the My Leviton app will be required for some of the other smart-home automations.
"Outdoor living environments have rigorous demands for exterior lighting and load control. The new Leviton Outdoor Plug-In Switch was designed to meet those challenges with easy-to-use features to simplify smart home control of outdoor lighting and other devices," stated James Shurte, senior product manager of smart home for Leviton. "Leviton is pleased to introduce outdoor control to our Decora Smart Wi-Fi product line with support for Matter to meet the growing demands of Smart Home customers, making this the most connected outdoor smart plug on the market today."
