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 Joe Stax

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Just a solid smart home switch

It’s so strange this one has to have a neutral wire when the dimmer version doesn’t need it but regardless, it works great like all my Lutron smart switches. Just make sure you wire the actual live wire to the live input and load to the load wire. My junction box had the wire colors flipped when I changed out the old switch and had to do some trial and error before I found out that location had used the wrong color wires. Moral of the story is test your wires with a voltage meter first, especially in a new location. Alexa integration worked flawlessly as well.

Pros
  • MOST CONNECTED: Caséta connects with more leading smart home devices – including Alexa, Apple Home Kit, the Google Assistant, Serena shades and Sonos – than any other smart lighting control brand (Caséta Smart Hub required)
Cons
  • Can be challenging to understand and troubleshoot for some users
