Description

The Leviton VRI06-1LZ is a Vizia RF + 600W Z-Wave dimmer which can be used for incandescent single pole, 3-way and other switch applications. The VR106-1LZ is compatible with the L5100-ZWAVE module so that you can control your home’s dimmer switches from your L5100 LYNX Touch wireless security system. You can also use the VR106-1LZ with a Tuxedo Touch or Tuxedo Touch WIFI graphic touchscreen keypad for local home automation control.

Swap out your existing dimmer switch with a Leviton VR106-1LZ to enhance your home. With a green LED locator, you will be able to find the dimmer in the dark. When you turn the lights on, you can use the brightness display to see exactly which level of light you are using. The VR106-1LZ comes with a white face already assembled on the device and it also includes an ivory and light almond face so you can match the decor of your home.

When wiring in 3-way and multi-pole configurations, you must properly coordinate the VRI06-1LZ with the proper compatible Leviton Vizia RF+ devices. If your configuration is properly for 3-way and multi-pole (e.g. a traveler wire), you can use a Leviton VP00R-1LZ or Leviton VP00R-10Z. If you do not have the proper 3-way lighting, but want to control your light from two locations, we recommend using the matching controller, the Leviton VRCZ1-1LZ.

The dimmer switch has voltage of 120VAC, 60 Hz and should be installed in accordance with your local electrical codes and regulations. Only use the dimmer switch to control incandescent or 120V halogen fixtures You should not use the Leviton VR106-1LZ dimmer to control fluorescent lighting or a receptacle, motor-operated appliance or transformer-operated appliance. Also, none of the Leviton Vizia RF + dimmers are compatible with standard 3-way or 4-way switches. You must use a compatible Vizia RF + remote for multi-location dimming control. Make sure to use only one Z-Wave VR106-1LZ dimmer in a multi-location circuit with up to nine coordinating remotes (without LEDs) or up to four matching remotes (with LEDs).

If you want to control your Leviton VR106-1LZ Vizia RF + 600W Z-Wave dimmer remotely, you must have an L5100 LYNX Touch wireless security system equipped with an L5100-ZWAVE module and you will need to sign up for a Self Monitoring or Monitoring Plus plan that includes the optional Remote Home Automation feature at our alarm monitoring sign-up page. With this plan, you will be able to use the same Total Connect account that remotely controls your security system to remotely control your Leviton VR106-1LZ dimming switch.

The Leviton VRI06-1LZ is a 600W incandescent Z-Wave dimmer switch for use with virtually any Z-Wave controller or hub. The device provides smart control for your hardwired lights. All you need to do is remove your existing dimmer switch (cut the power first), install the VRI06-1LZ in its place, and program it with your Z-Wave controller. This is an older Z-Wave device, and it has since been discontinued in favor of more advanced models. As a result, we only give the Leviton VR106-1LZ a 4 Star rating.

There are some things we like about the Leviton VRI06-1LZ. For one, it is very versatile in the fact that it can be used with nearly any Z-Wave controller. We also like the LED light on the device, which can be helpful for making sure that it is working properly. The device supports 3-way and multi-pole wiring configurations when used with other Leviton Vizia RF+ devices. If you have any of these devices, then the VRI06-1LZ can make a nice addition. The replaceable face plates are a nice touch, as they add some personalization.

But the downsides to the Leviton VRI06-1LZ are notable as well. The product has been discontinued, and you are unlikely to find a new model. A used model should still work fine though. This is a standard Z-Wave device, and you will most likely want to look for a Z-Wave Plus device if you have a Z-Wave Plus controller. A Z-Wave Plus device will provide better range and ensure better overall connectivity for the rest of your Z-Wave network. While the 3-way and multi-pole potential is desirable, you can only accomplish this with other Leviton Vizia RF+ devices. All of this leads to us only awarding the VRI06-1LZ a 4 Star rating.

Good: Versatile, Can Pair Nicely w/ Other Vizia RF+ Devices, Replaceable Faceplates

Bad: Discontinued, Standard Z-Wave, 3-Way & Multi-Pole Only w/ Other Vizia RF+ Devices

Bottom Line: 4 Stars
