Material analysis of the Leviton 2nd Gen Smart Breaker confirms an optimized internal antenna array designed for improved radio frequency penetration through metallic load center covers. Technical specifications indicate the integration of an Espressif ESP32-WROOM series chipset, providing the processing overhead necessary for high-frequency current sensing and +/- 3% revenue-grade energy monitoring. The hydraulic-magnetic trip mechanism ensures consistent performance across a wide thermal range, maintaining the specified trip curve in environments such as unconditioned garages or attics.
Standardized testing protocols show that the unit communicates via the LWIH Local Wi-Fi interface or the LDMA1 Data Hub, delivering real-time telemetry and push alerts for overcurrent events. Per National Electrical Code (NEC) safety requirements, the remote functionality is limited to an emergency "Trip" state, requiring a physical manual reset to re-engage the circuit. This design protocol ensures that a technician or homeowner must be physically present to inspect the load before restoration of power.
Aggregated specification data lists the following:
- Modes of operation: Manual, Remote Emergency Trip, Energy Telemetry, Safety Diagnostic
The Leviton 2nd Gen Smart Circuit Breaker with Remote is an ecosystem-specific solution for integrated power management. Users requiring similar monitoring capabilities without the need for a full panel replacement might evaluate the Emporia Vue 3 Smart Home Energy Monitor for its universal compatibility with various breaker brands.
This hardware is a specialized entry in the smart circuit breakers classification, focusing on high-bandwidth telemetry and ecosystem depth.
