Revainrating 4 out of 5

NB: Not the newest model of the Caséta Wireless switch.

The switch included in this package is the earlier model (PD-5ANS). If the higher amperage capacity (6A) of the newest switch is required, look elsewhere for the PD-6ANS. I have scanned the product description repeatedly, but have found no mention that the prior model switch was in the package. Fortunately for me (and probably most people), the difference was not a problem.

Pros
  • Switches & Dimmers
Cons
  • May not be compatible with certain types of ceiling fans

These switches are an excellent choice. We have them throughout our house. Easy to install and use.The dimmer switches fade off allowing time to leave the area before you’re in the dark. We find this very helpful when leaving the basement family room and heading upstairs.The use of a switch and pico remote(s) make for a simple 3 or 4 way switch scenario. Example, an L shaped stairwell leading from the kitchen, to a landing with exterior door and continuing to the basement family room. We…

Pros
  • Works great for adding a three way switch without running wiring. The product is nicer than competitors.
Cons
  • May not work with certain fan or light models

Lutron hit the home automation ball out of the park.

Love the Lutron caseta line of products. I have 26 Caseta switches and have had zero problems and 100% happiness that the home is automated for so little investment.

Pros
  • With support for Apple HomeKit and Google Assistant integration, controlling the switch is as simple as asking your smart home device to turn on or off
Cons
  • Can be challenging to hide in certain installation scenarios

Switch stopped working after 50 days.

After just 50 days the switch had to be replaced. The Lutron phone app still showed the switch as being On. I am unable to delete the switch from the app until the next day.

Pros
  • ‎Wi-Fi, homeplug
Cons
  • Can be complicated to set up for beginners

Great for adding a remote light switch

Used to make create a 3-way switch for an attic light. Great to eliminate wiring issues, but still get the needed function (a light switch at both the top and bottom of the stairs).

Pros
  • With the ability to control your ceiling fans and lighting from anywhere, the switch provides added convenience and comfort to your daily life
Cons
  • May not have consistent performance across different lighting and fan configurations

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…

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

Important if purchased “Used

This switch works great as a stand alone on/off switch or when paired with a "Pico Remote” or Lutron "Bridge”****Important if you purchased it "Used”!If this switch was previously set up by another user you will have to reset it to factory settings in-order to re-pair it to your system. Best to just google it, its sum what difficult for me to describe. Once set to back to factory it will easily pair to your "Lutron Bridge” otherwise it will not work remotely on the Lutron App. Hope this helps…

Pros
  • The Lutron Caseta PDW-5ANS-WH-A 5A Smart Home Switch is incredibly reliable, providing consistent and accurate control over your home's lighting
Cons
  • May interfere with other smart devices in the household

Beats what I had before

I had an electrician install it. The wall box was cramped from a protruding conduit pipe but the electrician was able to install the Lutron Caseta Smart Home Switch as it wasn't too big. The switch was easy to set up and works with HomeKit. I now have two of these switches and use them to control outside lights. The timer switches that they replaced were 30 years old. This is a big improvement.

Pros
  • Fast delivery, easy to install, great product. My whole house is set up with these.
Cons
  • May not be compatible with certain dimmable bulbs

Great product, Needed Electrician

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…

Pros
  • Love these switch
Cons
  • May not work with certain home automation hubs

Perfect Smart Home Device

Don't wait, just go buy this. I have almost 3 dozen Caseta switches in my smart home setup. I installed this 2 years ago and they've worked every single time.I wish more smart home accessories was this good.

Pros
  • EASY 3-WAY SETUP: With a Pico remote and wall mount bracket, create a 3-way by mounting the Pico to almost any wall surface without cutting holes or pulling wire. You can also replace existing 3-way switches by mounting the bracket and Pico over the back box (Pico remote and PICO-WBX-ADAPT sold separately)
Cons
  • Can be a challenge to program with advanced settings

Pros
  • ‎5 Amps
Cons
  • May not be designed for heavy usage

Love the Caseta Products, but Missing Pico Remote Mount

I ordered this with a great Prime Day price, and I love all the components which came in the box, but the Pico Remote Mounting Bracket (PICO-WBX-ADAPT) which is advertised as being a part of the kit (and shows it as being a part of the kit on the box it was shipped in) was not included. So, I requested a replacement and shipped the original delivery back (which was missing the mount). The replacement package arrived yesterday and it is ALSO missing the PICO-WBX-ADAPT mounting bracket (again the

Pros
  • ‎600 watts
Cons
  • May not be suitable for large homes

Great with Alexa best in my review

These work well with Alexa and it's nice to be able to quickly turn the lights on and off by voice. I've been replacing both my dimming and non-dimming Lutron Meastro switches with these. I've used both the 6a with a neutral and the 5a without neutrals on these standard non-dimmable switches and they both work well. I would give them five stars if they had the option for the back light when not on.

Pros
  • ‎PDW-5ANS-WH-A
Cons
  • Requires a smartphone or other smart device to operate

Great lighting control solution

This is my favorite light switch on the market currently. It works well and has a stable and well put together app that controls the entire system.

Pros
  • The switch comes with a wallplate, so you can easily install it anywhere in your home without any additional purchases
Cons
  • May limit customization options for programming

Reputation Deserved

Every single part of settings these up was painless. Unlike some other manufacturers and designs. Everything is going to Caséta if they apply.

Pros
  • Super easy to install no need to open walls to hard wire. Works flawlessly. Highly recommend
Cons
  • May require additional accessories for full functionality

Really want these to work

Support was very responsive. Even sent out replacement switches (PD-6ANS) but it still didn't work.In the course of troubleshooting Lutrom sent out 3 LUT-MLCs and 2 PD-6ANS switches to assist at no additional cost to me. So don't be afraid to give it a shot even though these don't seem to work for me.I have them in two different key locations that just don't work for me. The front lights for the house and my garage lights.Outside Front LightsNo matter what bulbs I use (even incandescent) when…

Cons
  • Can be difficult to sync with other smart home devices

Picture is DECEIVING

You do NOT get the two wall plates needed for the switches, you only get 1 wall plate PERIOD. 3 stars for that in itself. Like others have stated, you MUST have Neutral in wall to be used. Not all current wall switches are going to have the neutral wire.

Pros
  • Lutron's Smart Home Switch is incredibly durable, designed to withstand frequent use and last for years to come
Cons
  • Could potentially cause power outages if not installed properly

Small problem with shipment but works great

I have order two switches, one at a time. First one was shipped fine from TX, second one was shipped at of Jacksonville FL and was not so fine. Switch was sent without the wallplate. Called Best Buy and was told I had to call Lutron myself to solve this problem. Adam at Lutron was very helpful and is sending me the wallplate. Oh the installation information wasn't clear but found how to correctly install the switch by searching on YouTube.Switch works great with my echo dot!

Pros
  • ‎Smart Switch w/Wallplate
Cons
  • Can be prone to electrical interference

Great Product, App Not So Much

Love the product but the getting the scheduling right on the app is not intuitive. It took a lot of trial and error.and help from a friend to get it right. I hate the app but love the product.

Pros
  • ‎Amazon Alexa
Cons
  • Can be difficult to replace batteries

Revainrating 5 out of 5

very simple to install and use

This product is great. Only recommendation I would have is regarding the remote. Would be niceif it was two-color so one could identify the OFF and ON more easily

Pros
  • The switch's sleek design integrates seamlessly with your home's decor, adding a modern touch to your home automation setup
Cons
  • Can be difficult to install in certain wall switches
