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 Jacob Brasic

I spent a lot of time researching and talking to professionals about a good solution for setting my front and back porch lights to a timer. I ended up giving this product a try. I called their customer service before purchasing to talk through my goals, the representative was great and pointed me in the right direction in terms of which kit to buy. The product advertises itself as something a homeowner could do themselves. I am very handy around the house, but after opening up my switch plate, I decided to call in a professional. Both areas where we wanted to install the switch were in a box with three other switches, there was a lot of wiring to move around , including finding the ground wire, etc. I just didn’t feel comfortable taking four switches apart and risking messing something else up. It took my electrician less than an hour to install two of these switches for my front and back porch lights. if you can look at my photos you can see how much is going on at the switch location. If you had a single switch, it may be some thing you could do yourself. But with electrical, always a good idea to be safe. I look forward to setting up some schedules for these lights. The app is super easy to use. FYI if you want to use the app you need the bridge which is why I bought this product because it was like a starter kit. Again, recommended by the customer service representative. Just called Lutron and they can tell you what’s best for your needs.
