Support for Levven GPDT15 Power Controllers

Installing and Wiring a GPDT15 Controller

READ BEFORE INSTALLING

• Install and/or use Levven in accordance with local electrical codes and regulations.
• Levven controllers are to be mounted in suitably sized electrical junction boxes to satisfy your area's electrical code. We recommend using plastic junction boxes for optimal performance. If a metal box is being used, ensure the controller antenna is sticking out of the junction box.
  
• If you are unsure about any part of these instructions, consult a qualified electrician.

Tools and Materials

You will need:

• Screwdriver to access the electrical box
• Ladder or Stepstool to reach ceiling fixture
• Wire Nuts / Marrettes to connect wires
• Circuit Tester (optional) 
• Wire Strippers (optional)

Wiring Steps

1. Turn off power at the circuit breaker.
2. Remove the cover or fixture to access the electrical box.
3. Connect wires:
4. • Connect BLACK power wire to BLACK controller wire.
   • Connect RED controller wire to BLACK load wire.
   • Connect all WHITE wires (power, load, and controller).

The wires should look like the diagram below:

When your connections are safely completed, turn the power back on at the circuit breaker.

You have successfully wired the Levven GPDT15 controller.

Continue to group multiple controllers, or pair switches to your controller.

Installing More Than One Controller?

Create a 'Home Group' for Controllers

Controllers must be in the same group to function together.

• Controllers will only communicate with other devices in the same group.
• They ignore signals from devices that are not in the same group.

A switch can only control controllers that are in the same group.

When you add a Levven Q Gateway to your home, it will only see and control devices in its group.

How to Add a Controller to a Group

1. Press and release the button on the first controller. Its LED will blink GREEN. 
2. Press and release the button on the new controller. Its LED will blink GREEN or RED and GREEN. 
3. The LED on both controllers will blink RED and GREEN to exchange group info. 
4. Press and release the first controller's button to confirm the grouping. Both LEDs will flash GREEN three times to signal success.
5. • The grouping process will time out after 60 seconds, and you may need to start the process over again.

Repeat this process to add all of the controllers into the same group.

Pair a Switch to a Controller

Switches send on/off commands to the controller. You can pair up to 10 switches to one controller.

How Many Switches Can be Paired?

Up to 10 different switches can be paired to one GPDT15 power controller. 

• This is useful for multi-way switches.
• For example, you can have one switch at the bottom of the stairs and one at the top. Both switches can control the same stairway light by pairing the switches to the same controller.

Manually Pair a Switch to a Controller

1. Press and release the controller's button. Its LED will blink GREEN.
2. Press both ends of the switch rocker at the same time, then release.
3. The controller's LED will blink RED and GREEN when it receives the signal from the switch. 
4. • If the LED does not blink RED and GREEN, press and release both ends of the switch rocker again. 
   • The pairing process will time out after 60 seconds, and you may need to start the process over again.
     
5. Press and release the controller's button again to confirm. Its LED will flash GREEN three times to signal success.​​
6. Repeat to pair additional switches to this controller.
   

Dimming Lights with a Switch

To increase brightness:

• Press and hold the up/on button.
• Let go at desired brightness.

To decrease brightness:

• Press and hold the down/off button.
• Let go at desired brightness.

If you are using the Levven Controls app:

• Decrease brightness by swiping left on the controller's tile in the device screen.
• Increase brightness by swiping right on the controller's tile in the device screen.

Setting Min/Max Brightness Level

Set the Dimmer's Maximum Brightness Level

1. Use the switch to brighten to the maximum desired brightness.
2. • If the light flickers, dim until flickering stops.
3. Double-click the GPDT15 controller’s button (press the button two times in quick succession).
4.  The controller’s LED will flash GREEN to signal success.

Set the Dimmer's Minimum Brightness Level

1. Use the switch to dim to the minimum desired brightness.
2. • If the light flickers, brighten until flickering stops.
3. Double-click the GPDT15 controller’s button (press the button two times in quick succession).
4.  The controller’s LED will flash GREEN to signal success.

Reset the Dimmer's Min/Max Brightness to Factory Settings

1. Triple-click the GPDT15 controller's button (press the button three times in quick succession).
2. The controller's LED will flash green to signal success.

Optional: Setup in Levven Controls App

Adding a new controller is easy with the Levven Controls App. To use the app to add controllers to your home group, you will need a Levven Q Gateway. 

If you need to setup your Q Gateway, head here to get started: Q Gateway Support.

If your Q Gateway is setup and you are using the Levven Controls app, head here: Device Management.
