3-Way Wiring with DD0SR-10 Coordinating Remote

(no LED) Application:

Preparing and connecting wires:

This switch can be wired using side wire terminal screws or 

through backwire openings. Choose appropriate wire stripping 

specifications accordingly.

WARNING: 

TO AVOID FIRE SHOCK OR DEATH; TURN 

OFF POWER 

at circuit breaker or fuse and test that power is off 

before wiring!

Identifying your wiring application (most common):

NOTE:

 If the wiring in your wall box does not resemble any of 

these configurations, consult an electrician.

The next generation of lighting control technology is here with 

the new Decora

®

 Digital Switch with Bluetooth

®

 Technology. This 

innovative device works using the Leviton Decora

®

 Digital Dimmer & 

Timer app that can be easily downloaded to smartphones or tablets 

and paired to the Leviton Switch using Bluetooth

®

 technology. 

Decora

®

 Digital Devices give users point-to-point local control to 

automate lighting, bridging the gap between standard switches and 

whole-house automation systems.

Enjoy the combined functions of a standard wall switch and 

a countdown or programmable timer switch in one attractive 

device. Use of the app allows greater flexibility for accurate timer 

functionality and makes pushing buttons for timed events a tedious 

chore of the past.

The Leviton Decora

®

 Digital Dimmer & Timer app can be easily 

downloaded to mobile devices and is compatible with Android and 

iOS smartphones or tablets. The app is easy to use with simple, 

intuitive on-screen menu options to independently control Decora

®

 

Digital dimmers and switches throughout the home.

Decora

®

 Digital Devices are ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, 

kitchens, dining rooms, home offices, outdoor lighting or anywhere 

full control of lighting is desired.

Step 4b

 Step 4b cont’d

NOTE:

 The switch must be installed in a wall box that has a Line 

Hot connection. The coordinating remote must be installed in a wall 

box with a Load connection and a Neutral connection. A Neutral 

wire to the coordinating remote needs to be added as shown. If 

you are unsure about any part of these instructions, consult an 

electrician.

NOTE:

 Maximum wire length from switch to all installed remotes 

cannot exceed 300 ft (90 m).

WIRING SWITCH (wall box with line hot connection):
Connect wires per WIRING DIAGRAM as follows:

•  Green or bare copper wire in wall box to Green terminal screw.

•  Line Hot (common) wall box wire identified (tagged) when 

removing old switch to terminal screw marked "BK".

•  First Traveler wall box wire to terminal screw marked "RD" 

(note wire color)

.

•  Remove Red insulating label from terminal screw marked 

"YL/RD".

•  Second Traveler wall box wire to terminal screw marked 

"YL/RD" 

(note wire color)

. This traveler from the switch must go 

to the terminal screw on the remote marked "YL/RD".

•  Line Neutral wall box wire to terminal screw marked "WH".

WIRING COORDINATING REMOTE (wall box with load 

connection):
Connect wires per WIRING DIAGRAM as follows:

NOTE:

 "BK" and "RD" terminals on coordinating remote are 

unused. Tighten both screws.

• Green or bare copper wire in wall box to Green terminal screw.

• Load wall box wire identified (tagged) when removing old switch 

to First Traveler 

(note color as above)

.

• Second Traveler wall box wire 

(note color as above)

 to terminal 

screw marked "YL/RD". This traveler from the remote must go to 

the terminal screw on the switch marked "YL/RD".

• Remove White insulating label from terminal screw marked 

"WH".

• Line Neutral wall box wire to terminal screw marked "WH".

• Proceed to Step 5.

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

•  TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK, OR DEATH; TURN OFF POWER

 at circuit breaker or fuse and test that power is off before wiring!

•  TO AVOID FIRE, PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, DO NOT 

install to control a receptacle. 

• 

To be installed and/or used in accordance with electrical codes and regulations.

•  If you are unsure about any part of these instructions, consult an electrician.

•  

The Decora

®

 DDS15 is not compatible with standard 3-way or 4-way switches. It must be used with the Decora

®

 Digital DD0SR-DL or DD0SR-10 remote for 

multi-location dimming.
