    Best smart switch there is

    Better look than the previous version, blends very well with non smart switches. Does require neutral which is a drawback of this version. Lots of wires to be connected or capped in the back, makes for a full box.

    A versatile addition for home lighting automation

    I got this smart switch to replace an older conventional one for my porch light. This allows me to automate activation of my porch light when arriving home, by linking the Lutron app to the Google Home app. Now my porch light comes on automatically after sunset when I am close to home. In addition, the porch light comes on after sunset when someone approaches the porch. This was achieved by linking the Lutron app to my Ring app as well. The flexibility of linking the Lutron app with other apps makes this system very versatile. I am very happy with my purchase and would highly recommend this product.

    Lutron is always your best choice.

    [Employee of bestbuy] Lutron makes good stuff. This switch is easy to install and can even be used as part of a three way switch and retain its smart functions. I’m a Lutron fan because they can be trusted to work.

    Lutron Smart Switch

    Lutron/Caseta products just WORK and if there are any issues (we had some recently but found Apple is the culprit), their customer service could not be more helpful. Do I wish their price was a little lower? Yes. But we've had their products for years and keep going back to them because of their track record.

    Disappointing

    Only capable of up to 6amps of load. My Xmas lights load was 5.8amps and this switch was uncomfortably hot. There are other switches that are capable of 15A(Wemo). I have my outdoor outlets on a switch in the basement. When is Lutron going to make a switch that can handle 15A?
