The post discusses Wesco’s partnership with Leviton and its impact on offsite construction, smart home technology, and EV charging.
Decora Edge is described as an exclusive Leviton smart circuit breaker. It has a rectangular form factor and a familiar one-way or three-way tamper-resistant switch style on the front.
The back of the product uses easy-to-install wire openings or tabs. The hot conductor area is color-coded. The design does not require metal screws or tapping.
Leviton’s Decora Smart product line integrates with the My Leviton app. The app is used to manage smart breakers and EV chargers in one place.
The post says no additional WiFi network is needed. Devices are managed through the app using existing wiring infrastructure in traditional wall boxes.
The post notes three main EV charging systems. DC fast chargers can reach 80% capacity in 20 minutes. These chargers require a 3-phase 100 amp breaker for each unit and may involve utility companies.
Leviton focuses on Level 2 chargers for residential and commercial use. The post says about 75% of EV chargers are designed for residential applications.
The post says the Wesco and Leviton partnership supports smarter installations, broader product offerings, and improved safety standards.
