The 14-Second Rule for Leviton Products

In general, Leviton has decided that 14 seconds is the perfect amount of time to complete a factory reset.

The reason that Leviton make you hold a button down for several seconds or to press multiple buttons is to prevent people from accidentally resetting their devices.

With a 14-second delay, it’s unlikely that you will end up resetting your Smart Switch without meaning to.
