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 Andrew Gomez

I bought this to replace an old X10 remote system that I was using to turn on my outdoor light from inside my car. It had been programmed to use my car’s built-in garage door remote to turn on my front door light.Installing the smart light switch was easier than I’d hoped it would be. Then you only have to create a Lutron Home account to use it. The setup in iOS using the Lutron app and Apple HomeKit integration made it very easy to allow me to use Siri commands through both my Apple Watch and iPhone.I thought I’d miss the convenience of my car’s built-in remote to turn on my outdoor lights, when I arrived home after dark. This is even easier and way more secure.One thing I wasn’t expecting: If your car supports Apple CarPlay, you can use Siri right through your car’s steering wheel voice command button. I’ve been using it to tell Siri to turn on my outside lights. It’s way easier to do that, than my old method of using the programed garage door remote built into my car’s rear-view mirror. The limited transmitter range meant that it only worked when you were already in the driveway.This can do it from the other side of the world, if necessary and I don’t have to worry about someone stealing the codes from the remote to break into my home.
