Leviton puts Alexa in a dimmer switch

Leviton is expanding its range of smart home switches and outlets with a new Wi-Fi dimmer switch with Amazon Alexa built in. The Decora Voice Dimmer will allow home owners to control their lights with their voice, and it works with all the other things that Amazon Alexa supports. For example, users will be able to say "Alexa, dim the lights to 60 percent," or "Alexa, turn off the kitchen light." Leviton already sells Wi-Fi light switches in the Decora range and the new dimmer can be integrated into routines and schedules through the My Leviton control app. Because the switches are all networked, it's also possible to issue a single command--"Alexa, turn off the lights"--to control all the lights in every room connected through a Wi-Fi Decora switch.
