Description of šŸ’” Lutron CasĆ©ta Wireless Smart Lighting Dimmer Switch PDW-6WCL-WH-A: Convenient Control for Wall and Ceiling Lights

PEACE OF MIND: Set lights to automatically adjust with changing seasons so your family always comes back to a well-lit home; you can also enable the smart away feature to randomly turn your lights on and off to look like youā€™re home even if youā€™re away (CaseĢta Smart Hub, L-BDG2-WH, required). MOST CONNECTED: CaseĢta connects with more leading smart home devices ā€“ including Alexa, Apple Home Kit, the Google Assistant, Serena shades and Sonos ā€“ than any other smart lighting control brand (CaseĢta Smart Hub required). CONTROL YOUR WAY: CaseĢta puts the smarts in the switch so you can control your lights a variety of ways ā€“ via the free Lutron app, your voice, or from the wall. You can create personalized schedules to turn on, off, or dim lights at set times to best fit your everyday routines, or activate favorited lighting scenes with the touch of a button (CaseĢta Smart Hub required). GET MORE, SPEND LESS: 1 CaseĢta smart switch can control many bulbs at once; make many bulbs smart, even your existing bulbs get smart control of multiple styles of dimmable LED, incandescent, and halogen bulbs. WORKS WITH EXISTING WIRING: Unlike other smart dimmer switches, CaseĢta works in any home, of any age, as it does not require a neutral wire. WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL: For added convenience, use with wireless Pico remote (PJ2-3BRL-GXX-L01) to turn your lights on, off, or dim and brighten with the touch of a button from anywhere in the home. EASY 3-WAY SETUP: Use with CaseĢta Wall Mount Kit (PJ2-WALL-WH-L01) to create a multi-location application. TECHNICAL DETAILS: Works with up to 150W dimmable LED light bulbs/CFL light bulbs or 600W incandescent bulbs/halogen bulbs; not rated for low voltage applications (i.e. track or landscape lighting)

Life changing good for me

Wish I would have discovered these a long time ago. Though it's easy to turn lights on or off, doing this with voice command is much easier and can help when you're in a rush

Pros
  • GET MORE, SPEND LESS: 1 CasĆ©ta smart switch can control many bulbs at once; make many bulbs smart, even your existing bulbs get smart control of multiple styles of dimmable LED, incandescent, and halogen bulbs
Cons
  • Limited range of customization options

Love them I have them all trough out my house

Once you get the set with the Hub you need to keep getting more switches you only need one Hub. Little high priced but they work with the Apple Home POD and the Home App on the iPhone,iPad. not too much on the market works with the Apple home kit yet. Hope they keep adding more. You do need to know how to switch out a light switch from the wall or have an electrician do it for you.

Pros
  • ā€ŽAutomatically,Off,Smart Switch
Cons
  • Some users may prefer a wired switch for reliability

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very good , work well

Instructions could be better ( larger print would help) no instructions for Alexa integration without going on line (why). App good, scheduling ease

Pros
  • Caeseta is a great solution in an older home where a nuetral is not available.
Cons
  • Requires a compatible hub to function

Lutron is a game changer

Iā€™ve bought a few different dimmer switches and smart switches for a variety of lights I have. None of them seemed to work. I could turn the lights on and off but could never get them to dim. So I was very skeptical about this one. I did my research as I always do and I said if this doesnā€™t work then itā€™s back to regular rocker switches. But not did they work, I tried them on a variety of different light fixtures and they took on the challenge and dimmed every single one of them. So I must sayā€¦

Pros
  • This was a really good fit for our home. Makes control of the various lights a cinch.
Cons
  • Requires hub

Works really well and is beautiful to look at

I had to return my other dimmer from a different brand because it caused my lights to flicker at several settings. We installed these dimmers in a bunch of different locations in our home and they work flawlessly! I'll definitely consider Lutron for future purchases when it comes to light switches and outlets.

Pros
  • Awesome. Worth it.
Cons
  • May interfere with other wireless devices in the home

Excellent smarthome solution

I have now installed 10 Lutron dimmers throughout my house all connected via one Lutron Hub and integrated with Alexa. I used GE and TP Link before but Lutro dimmers are the simplest to install. All DIY. The app and features are good. No issues over the last six months. Scenes and schedules also work well.

Pros
  • Very easy to install. Simple and clean design. Works as advertised.
Cons
  • Limited functionality with voice assistants

Great functionality with a modern twist

These switches are amazing and a great upgrade to standard wall switches.The dimming feature can really shift the mood of the room in a positive way.Functionality has been awesome. They were an adjustment to us since weā€™ve used regular paddle switches for quite some time.We outfitted the entire house with these switches and we are very pleased thus far.The combination of the switches with the Clark switch covers really modernize the look of the home with a touch of minimalism (no visibleā€¦

Pros
  • ā€ŽDimmer w/Wallplate
Cons
  • May not be ideal for users with limited access to electronic devices

Love Homekit compatibility

Good compatible light switch. Easy installation and doesnā€™t need a Neutral wire like many other brands. The only downside is it needs a hub and also a little bit pricey.

Pros
  • Love it, love it, love it.
Cons
  • The product came opened and used.

Works in old houses !

This works ivy 1970ā€™s Brazilian house which has old wiring (only two electrical wires, no neutral). Note that it will require a minimum amount of current To work. A LED 10W bulb should work but a 4W will not. It doesnā€™t draw enough current to power the switch itself so it keeps blinking and cannot be turned on or off.

Pros
  • ā€Ž3-way
Cons
  • May be difficult to access for some users based on installation location

Doesn't look like other switches

I want a smart switch that looks like a regular switch. I don't want one switch in a group that looks different. Limited range of color options.

Pros
  • Works well. Most reliable smart home device we have.
Cons
  • Limited range of color options

The most expensive dimmer and requires a hub to install

This is the most expensive "smart" dimmer on amazon and you still need to pay another $80 to make it smart (with the home bridge). This is an absolute rip off, and of course as all shady amazon listers do, they put (requires smart hub) in a small spot at the end of a paragraph. Save your money! you can buy 6 other smart dimmer switches for the price of one of these with the smart hub

Pros
  • ā€ŽIP54
Cons
  • Not all functions may be available in all countries or regions

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Theyā€™re expensive for a reason. You get what you pay for

I updated my entire home with these, and theyā€™ve been fantastic. The install was stupid easy, I believe anyone with minimal knowledge on electric work can do it, the app walks you through everything step by step. The apple home kit support works flawlessly. Alexa/google integration works great. Their easy enough to navigate that someone unfamiliar with smart switches can work. If you donā€™t mind spending a bit of money, these are definitely the switch to buy.

Pros
  • ā€ŽPush Button
Cons
  • Limited warranty period

Worth every penny! best in my review

Amazing product, Lutron is the best with smart dimmers. Just bought one of these on Walmart to add to my existing Caesta bridge. Installed in about 5 minutes, that's including the app configuration and Alexa sync. Works with Alexa very well, can even dim to the percentage. Great item!

Pros
  • Tools & Home Improvement
Cons
  • May not be compatible with certain electrical setups

I hated it, then I loved it.

I bought one of these yesterday and was pleasantly surprised by how quickly the installation went. As promised on the packaging, it only took about 15 minutes. This was helped by the fact that it doesn't require a neutral wire. This is important for two reasons: 1) although I had access to a neutral wire, some light switch boxes in older homes do not, and 2) one less wire nut means itā€™s that much easier to fit everything back inside the junction box. That was especially valuable for me, as Iā€™ve

Pros
  • Iā€™m very pleased with this product and the sellers.
Cons
  • Buttons on the switch may be too small for some users

This manufacturer is dishonest about their product and advertising. Paid $75 for a wifi dimmer switch, no neutral required. Discover the only way the dimmer work with wifi is with another purchase of $85, Lutron Smary Bridge. Really!Very disappointed with Walmart protecting false information/advertising.

Pros
  • ā€Ž1
Cons
  • May not be ideal for renters or temporary living situations

Lutein Caseta is a must have for a smart home

Talk about easy! Easy to install. Easy to use. I can turn lights on, off, or adjust with a couple of words or the swipe if a finger.

Pros
  • very good protect would recommend over smart bulbs
Cons
  • May require frequent updates to maintain functionality

Revainrating 5 out of 5

No neutral required

This was the only iHome compatible smart switch that didnā€™t require a neutral connection. I tried a different brand where I just connected the neutral to ground, which worked but I figured that wasnā€™t a great thing to do. This switch does have a delay between pushing the button and the light responding, which takes some getting used to.

Pros
  • Modern and convenient
Cons
  • Potential for compatibility issues with future updates or upgrades

Pros
  • ā€ŽCeiling Mount,Wall Mount
Cons
  • May not integrate with all smart home products
