Review on Lutron Caseta PDW-5ANS-WH-A 5A Smart Home Switch With Wallplate, Compatible With Alexa, Apple HomeKit And Google Assistant For Ceiling Fans, LED Bulbs, Incandescent & Halogen - White by Brett Tierney

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Got it, installed it, set it up on home-assistant

Pretty straight forward. Only annoyance was my light switch box which took a bit of effort to organize the wires to fit everything in correctly, since this thing is bulkier than a standard light switch, but that was to be expected.1. Fixed the light switch in place2. Plugged in the hub directly to USB power source rather than using the supplied adapter (it only requires 0.5 a anyways). Connected the ethernet cable between the hub and my router.3. Loaded the Lutron Caséta integration in home-assistant and it detected the hub (I hadn't paired the switch to the hub or even setup my luton account at this point :))4. Loaded the Lutron app, paired/added the switch, reloaded the Lutron Caséta integration and voila the switch is in home-assistant.5. Configured the switch to my whims and fancies.Anyone else planning a similar setup, well, it works without any issues.

Pros
  • ‎IP54
Cons
  • Can be difficult to understand for some users
