Type of review

I was once a newbie with Caseta - but no longer, so I hope this helps you. This kit is the first purchase you need for Lutron’s system. Once you have the hub, no more kits are needed for future switch purchases. One hub can manage up to 75 switches (and I think the Hub is included in that count).Some buyers complain about having to wire in Lutron's hub to your network with an ethernet cable. But you can't beat the speed and reliability of a wired network connection. Given that Lutron’s product…

Pros
  • ‎(1) Caseta Smart Dimmer Switch, (1) Pico remote, and (1) Wallplate Bracket
Cons
  • Only works with specific light bulbs, limiting options for consumers

I’ve had Lutron ‘electronic’ dimmers since they came out about 20 years ago.Throughout they’ve kept up with new tech like CFL’s & LED’s & allowed programming switch using the 2 key built-in buttons.ORIGINAL UNITS: were VERY elegant, aesthetic & simple - only 3 BUTTONS + parallel LED indicators - VERY easy & intuitive to operate: a single long & narrow ‘rocker’ button on the side that you pressed up to increase intensity and down to decrease.Once you had set your desired intensity level, all you

Pros
  • ‎1 Lithium Metal batteries required. (included)
Cons
  • Limited range for the remote, which may require multiple remotes for larger rooms

Glad I purchased this

My house didn’t have a neutral wire available in the switch outlet so other reviews seemed to indicate this system would be a good choice. This worked perfectly on installing. Even got it working quickly with Alexa, so I’m really happy with this system!

Pros
  • CONTROL YOUR WAY: Caséta puts the smarts in the switch so you can control a variety of ways – via the free Lutron app, your voice or from the wall; schedule lights to change at set times or activate scenes with the touch of a button (Caséta Smart Hub required)
Cons
  • Occasionally unreliable connection to smart hub, leading to issues with control

Integrates well with homeassistant

This is the third one of these I've added to our home, using the pico remote for a 3-way switch and also integrating it with homeassistant with the hub. Easy to provision the device, and just seems to work.

Pros
  • WORKS WITH EXISTING WIRING: Unlike other smart dimmer switches, Caséta works in any home, of any age, as it does not require a neutral wire
Cons
  • Limited range for voice control with smart assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant

Work's Great good for me

We had a ceiling light where the switch was on the other side of the house. This works great and was fairly easy to install. I must say my husband took an electrical course many years ago so he knew what he was doing. It works well with our Google Home Hub.

Pros
  • ‎Voice
Cons
  • Complex installation process, making it difficult for non-experts to install

Excellent Product: my feedback

The switch installed quick and easy, no neutral needed. The smart bridge installed quickly and easily. The Lutron app is extremely user friendly. The remote switch installed easily. It was also very easy to connect the device to my Alexa. I am extremely pleased with this product.

Pros
  • ‎120 Volts
Cons
  • May require additional wiring upgrades to fully utilize all features

Perfect for use for smart lighting

I did a lot of research when deciding on a smart dimmer switch option. I ended up choosing lutron because it uses the bridge and won't clog up our Wi-Fi. We don't have any kind of general smart bridge to use the z-wave or zigsbee other types of smart options. The bridge is tiny and unobtrusive, but does need to connect to an ethernet port. The dimmers work perfectly, and connect to Alexa seamlessly, which was the most important part to me. We have it set up so our lights come on automatically…

Pros
  • ‎Wall Mount
Cons
  • Requires additional purchasing of the Lutron app to fully utilize all features

Does not work with Google out of the box.

Misleading stating that this works with Google. It only works with Google if you buy something else to make that happen. I spent hours trying to make it work before I realized that the words in the description are not true. Dumb me.

Pros
  • ‎1.0 Count
Cons
  • Not compatible with 3-way switch setups, limiting options for some consumers
