Leviton 2nd Gen Smart Circuit Breaker with Remote Control - GFCI 60A

Our review looks at the Leviton 2nd Gen Smart Circuit Breaker with Remote Control and why it is a compelling choice for homeowners and electricians seeking smarter, safer load center solutions. The bottom line: this breaker is best for those who want integrated remote control and energy insight tied to a Leviton whole home system, because its smart control and GFCI protection combine convenience with enhanced safety. It requires a Leviton Whole Home Energy Monitor to unlock full functionality, so buyers should plan that integration up front.

Key Features

• Smart integration: Works with the My Leviton app to provide remote ON/OFF control and scheduling for energy savings and convenience.
• GFCI protection: Built-in ground fault circuit interrupter function provides added safety on protected circuits.
• Wide voltage support: Supports both 120/208 and 120/240 VAC applications for versatile residential use.
• Remote control: Allows turning the breaker ON or OFF remotely and creating time/day schedules to reduce standby loads.
• Plug-on installation: Plug-on design and Leviton load center compatibility simplify wiring and rough-in before breakers are installed.
• Energy monitoring requirement: Designed to work with a Leviton Whole Home Energy Monitor (LWHEM), enabling circuit-level insight when paired.

Who It's For

The Leviton 2nd Gen breaker is ideal for homeowners upgrading to a connected load center, electricians wiring new or renovated panels who want easier rough-in, and anyone who values remote circuit control plus GFCI safety. Those who already use other Leviton smart products will get the most cohesive experience.

It is not the right choice for users who need a standalone smart breaker without a required whole home monitor, or for projects using non-Leviton load centers, since operation depends on Leviton system compatibility.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Integrated remote ON/OFF control and scheduling bring useful everyday convenience and potential energy savings.
• Built-in GFCI adds a layer of electrical safety for protected circuits.
• Plug-on installation and ability to wire the load center at rough-in reduce installation time on new panels.
• Customers report good quality and general ease of installation when used with compatible load centers.

Cons

• Requires a Leviton Whole Home Energy Monitor (LWHEM) to operate, so it is not standalone smart hardware.
• Designed specifically for Leviton load centers, limiting interchangeability with other panel brands.
