    In this video we teach you how to install a Leviton 3 way smart switch. We install the latest gen 2 Leviton Smart switches which connect via wifi and can be remotely controlled with your phone. The Leviton smart switches are also compatible with Alexa, Google Home and Homekit so that you can control them with voice commands.
    The new Gen 2 Leviton smart switches are compatible with Leviton Anywhere companion dimmers which are battery powered wireless dimmer remotes that can connect to Leviton Wifi smart dimmer switches to create 3, 4 and 5 way switches.
    The Leviton Dimmer Companion Remotes connect directly to the 2nd Gen Leviton smart switches and will operate in a 3 way switch configuration even if the smart dimmer it's connected to is not connected to a wifi network.
    The advantage of using the Anywhere Dimmer Companion remote switch in with a 2nd Gen Leviton smart switch is that it allows you to simplify the wiring for 3 way switches and because it is low profile and battery powered you can use it to create 3 way switches with an existing light switch even if it is not currently wired as a 3 way smart light switch.

    I feel like this title is misleading, was hoping to see the active 3 way wiring, not with that other switch

    Thanks for a great demonstration. I have just replaced my (previous) Halo "Smart" Dimmers & Switches because Halo no longer manufactures them and will eventually abandon "support." My experience so far with Leviton is what one would expect: superb. I especially appreciate the ability to set auto on/off for Sunset/Sunrise with the ability to adjust activation up to 120 minutes either side of those events. Your "add a 3-way" demo also encourages me to do likewise. Thanks, again!

    Could the smart switch (D215S) be installed with a "wired" companion switch (DD0SR) NOT the wireless one (DAWSC) from the old 3-way switch wiring? Would be great to not need the battery to worry about on the wireless version.

    Thank you for this great instructional video. The remote is a great idea! I wish it worked with Smartthings. It would make for a neater install for smart bulbs or smart outlets than these "buttons" (like Flic or the Ikea ones) that I currently have. I will be looking forward to your upcoming review on it. Thanks!

    Thanks, based on this video and Leviton Smart switch directions, the only way to connect a 3 or 4-way switch circuit is to use the Anywhere companion?

    What about the wireless one is remained as the traditional one? Do we need to do any wiring change on that?

    Can cap the three in the right side box separately or it has to be together like you did? I don’t know anything about this 😆

    can you do an installation that already has 2 3 ways and 1 4 way wired and I want to add 1 wifi smart switch to be controlled by the app, but also add a wireless remote switch in a random spot of the house, just wondering about how to go about that and what type or catalog number switches I need?

    I still don't know why Leviton opt'd to use wires instead of the inserts like their GEN1 dimmers. It consumes additional space of the already cramped electrical box. I hope they will go back to the GEN1 for their GEN3... whenever that's released.

    Thay do have a switch that can be used without a neutral wire but you need to know what is in the the box , I had to special order one from back East.

      Yes, thanks for sharing. They just came out with a Leviton Smart Dimmer Switch that does not require a neutral wire you can find it here: amzn.to/3kVPjSn I've also got an updated video that shows you how to install the no neutral smart switch here: ruclips.net/video/J9IwImVdMNM/видео.html

    Is there any difference between the Leviton 1st gen (DW6HD) and the 2nd gen (D26HD)? They don't make the 1st gen anymore and they're getting harder to find.

      I think the wireless 3way only works with the 2nd gen D26HD
