Leviton's New Smart Voice Dimmer Lets Users Control Lights Remotely Without Hub

Leviton’s Decora Smart voice dimmer ($89, Home Depot) lets homeowners turn lights on and off by voice and uses Alexa services without the need for an additional light or hub, the company said Wednesday. Users also have the choice to control lights by the switch or the My Leviton app remotely. With Alexa, they can dim and brighten lights, listen to news, get the weather, play music and control smart home devices, said the company. Features include “off means off” technology for low-wattage LED bulbs and custom settings for fade rates and bulb types, it said. The company also bowed a Decora four-speed fan controller, operable by Alexa or Google Assistant.
