INTRODUCTION Leviton’s Decora SmartTM Z-Wave® Dimmers are designed to communicate with each other via Radio Frequency (RF) to provide remote control of your lighting. In a Z-Wave® network, each device is designed to act as a router. These routers will re-transmit the RF signal from one device to another until the intended device is reached. This ensures that the signal is received by its intended device by routing the signal around obstacles and radio dead spots.
