Leviton Debuts Apple Watch® Support for Snap-Link Mobile

Mobile application offers comprehensive home and business control from compatible iOS devices including modern iPad®, iPod Touch®, iPhone® and Apple Watch

MELVILLE, N.Y., Dec. 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Leviton today announced Apple Watch® support for the Snap-Link Mobile for iOS application (app). This new app provides the perfect solution for monitoring and controlling Leviton automation systems either remotely or locally and is offered without monthly fees or device licenses. Users can download the app via the Apple App Store® to their compatible iOS devices including iPad®, iPod Touch® and iPhone®, and now extend the app to their Apple Watch.

The Apple Watch extension utilizes watchOS 2 and explicitly allows for control over the most commonly accessed connected devices: lighting loads, the Leviton Omni security system, temperatures and controls that enact a chain of events to enable simultaneous system adjustments throughout the home or business. Existing users of Snap-Link Mobile for iOS may update their app now for free to add-on control to the Apple Watch.

"With the ever-growing popularity of the Apple Watch and the eruption of home automation, it is electrifying to attach Leviton device control to your smart wristwatch," said Aaron Ard, mobile app innovation leader for the Leviton Energy Management, Controls and Automation business unit. "With iOS device compatibility using watchOS2, Leviton controlled home and business owners now have comprehensive and affordable property management in seconds."

Specifically on the Apple Watch, users can enjoy quick access to lighting loads, thermostats, security, and activities. Activities can include "movie time" programming functions whereby with one button press, the lights dim, the doors lock, the window coverings close and the audiovisual equipment activates.

For over three decades, Leviton Omni security & automation systems have provided comprehensive control over residences and commercial properties spanning security, access control, video surveillance, distributed audio, temperature control and lighting or load control using wired and wireless devices, making the addition of the Snap-Link Mobile app the perfect integrated solution with no extra fees or monthly contracts. The Snap-Link Mobile app also allows for control over multiple Leviton managed properties from a tablet or phone, an ideal solution for vacation homes or multi-location business owners.

On an iOS tablet or phone, an individual has greater control and can oversee the security, entertainment and energy management facets, in addition to the below, of all connected Leviton properties:

    --  Disarm, arm or place your security system into vacation mode
    --  Unlock doors and gates
    --  View live surveillance footage
    --  Dim lights from 0-100% with slider bar
    --  Turn on/off connected loads including appliances, pumps, motors,
        compressors and more
    --  Adjust up to 64 smart Leviton thermostats at one time
    --  Turn on distributed audio throughout any property and change the source
        or volume
    --  Run macro buttons that enact a chain of events, which includes turning
        on appropriate AV equipment, dimming the lights, lowering shades,
        locking doors and more
The Snap-Link Mobile app for iOS devices is now available from Apple with a one-time download fee of $24.99. The app can be used in conjunction with Leviton OmniPro II, Omni IIe or Omni LTe security and automation systems. For more information, visit http://www.leviton.com/automation.
