What is a "Decora Electronic Control"? « on: November 16, 2021, 09:09:13 PM » Author: Fluorescent05
Last week, I found a 1980s Leviton "Decora electronic control". It appears to be a device that sits in a light fixture and remotely controls the light from a transmitter that it is wired to on the wall. Does anyone have anymore information?

Yes, that is an X-10 device. Leviton has (had?) a line of control panels, dimmers, and installable modules for home automation. Leviton doesn't have quite the same lineup of products as other X-10 vendors but their devices are all X-10 compatible. If you're interested, I have an original Leviton DEC catalog I might be able to scan and send you.

Yes! The file ended up being too large to attach so I uploaded it to Scribd:
https://www.scribd.com/document/552594037/Leviton-Decora-Electronic-Controls-Catalog

If you have trouble downloading it from Scribd, send me a personal message with your email address and I'll be happy to email it to you.

Thanks for the upload. It's always interesting to see pre IOT home automation devices.
