Leviton has introduced the new Zigbee™ 3.0 socket. The Zigbee controlled socket (ZSTLR-1HW) is compatible with a Leviton wireless controller or compatible with third-party Zigbee 3.0 to provide load control of the wireless socket.

Can be used with lamps, appliances and similar devices up to 15 A in wireless applications that require socket control or plug load control

“The Zigbee 3.0 controlled outlet brings new opportunities to our line of commercial wireless lighting control,” said Tom Leonard, vice president of Leviton. “It eliminates the pain point of pulling new cables to meet IECC, ASHRAE 90.1 requirements Users can easily install the outlet in place of traditional wall outlets and use the app to complete the configuration. Zigbee uses mesh networking technology to provide fast, reliable and secure communications.

The Zigbee controlled socket is Zigbee 3.0 certified and requires a Leviton environment controller to operate. It works in conjunction with the GreenMAX DRC wireless keypad room controller, Lumina RF wireless keypad room controller or a Zigbee 3.0-compatible hub, gateway or controller with proper integration.

The upper outlet of the socket is always on and the lower outlet is controlled. The outlet control strategies use occupancy detection or program-based control to energize and de-energize a controlled outlet based on occupancy or time of day. There is also an LED light that indicates when the controlled switch is on or off.

The Zigbee controlled receptacle is tamper-proof (TR) and meets NEC 2020 code requirements. The socket can be used as a component in a system to meet energy code requirements for IECC, ASHRAE 90.1, dimming, manual on/off, presence/absence control, and automatic shutdown .
