These instructions are for adding a 1st Gen Decora Smart product to the My Leviton app. These products begin with the part number DW. For more information, please consult the article How Do I Know If My Decora Smart® Wi-Fi is 1st or 2nd Generation. If your part number starts with D2, please switch to the article Add a 2nd Gen Decora Smart® Wi-Fi Device to the My Leviton App.
Preparing to Add a Device:
When no devices are currently enrolled, choose the Add a Device option.
Note: If you already have devices enrolled into your My Leviton account, then choose the green + button in the middle of the navigation bar, and select Device.
Step 1: Getting Started
The app will now search for 2nd Gen Decora Smart Wi-Fi devices that are in enrollment mode. Wait for the scan to finish, and then select the type of device that you are attempting to enroll. If you have the packaging, you can scan the barcode to simplify the process.
If you choose not to scan the barcode, then select Decora Smart. Choose the type of device you are enrolling (i.e. Dimmer, Switch, etc.). Now select the device you are enrolling by model number (make sure to select a 1st Generation device):
When a product is brand new, the LED will be flashing green. If the device has been previously installed or if the LED has timed out, you can press "I don't see a flashing LED" to receive instructions to enter enrollment mode.
Confirm the Decora Smart device is ready for enrollment, with the LED quickly flashing green, and press "Yes, let's go!"
Step 2: Connect to the Decora Smart device
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.

Step 2d: 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'
