Description
Features
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 you're home even if you're away.
Most connected
Caseta connects with more leading smart home devices - including Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit, the Google Assistant, Serena shades and Sonos - than any other smart lighting control brand.
Control your way
Caseta puts the smarts in the switch so you can control your lights a variety of ways - 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 favorite lighting scenes with the touch of a button.
Reliably smart
The smart bridge doesn't use Wi-Fi, so you get super-fast, ultra-reliable smart lighting that works right, without slowing your Wi-Fi down with more devices.
Set it and forget it
Always keep your smart light functionality. Even when the Wi-Fi goes down, there's no need to reset your schedules and scenes or reconnect everything when it comes back online.
Get more, spend less
One Caseta 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 in any home
Unlike other smart dimmer switches, Caseta works in any home, of any age, as it does not require a neutral wire.
Easy 3-way setup
Create a 3-way by mounting the included Pico to almost any wall surface without cutting holes or pulling wire, with a Pico wallmount bracket (PICO-WBX-ADAPT sold separately). You can also replace existing 3-way switches by mounting the bracket and Pico over the backbox.
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).

(1) Caseta smart bridge, (1) Caseta dimmer switch with wallplate, and (1) Pico remote control.

Expensive, but worth every penny
|Posted .Owned for 4 months when reviewed.I recently got into home automation and I wanted a long term solution, so smart bulbs we not really an option. I picked up some cheap wifi light switches. They work well and do the job, but they weren’t going to work with all of my light switches due to the house wiring. Enter Lutron Caseta!! These switches are amazing!! They operate on a hub, so I don’t have a bunch of devices on my wifi. Just the hub. Speaking of which, the hub is small and doesn’t take a lot of electricity. In fact, I power mine from a USB port on my wifi router. It has a modern look so it goes well on a shelf, a hutch, or an entertainment center. The switches themselves work great. They have a lighter tactile feel than I prefer, but they are of good quality. The wiring is fairly straight forward. The best part is the optional pico remotes. For multiple switches on the same circuit, you can install the a pico remote and not have to worry about wiring issues. And the remotes can operate multiple circuits. So, I’m our bedroom we have 1 remote for two switches. This way, if we leave the room we do not have to go all the way to the other side to shut off the light nearest the closet. Which was really annoying before this solution. I plan to do the same in my kitchen since the builder installed 3 different light circuits for a our small kitchen. These light switches haven’t failed me yet. We use the Alexa app for home automation and the automation is solid. The cheap switches I installed in my garage have become unresponsive a few times, but not the Lutron switches!! The price is the biggest constraint. These are $50-$70 a piece!! You can find deals and the initial purchase of this package deal helps, but they start to add up. Just be mindful not to order more than one package with the hub. I almost ended up with more than one hub because I wasn’t paying attention to what I was ordering. Even with the price point, I give the Lutron Caseta switches 5 stars.

Great switch with easy setup!
|Posted .Quality at its finest! I have upgraded many of the switches in my home to smart switches. All of them had been TP-Link Kasa switches which I have been pleased with. I had one switch however in my dining room which didn’t have the necessary neurtal wire to use with the Kasa dimmer and was also to big for the old metal box. I had tried replacing this switch a few times over the years, but could never get a smart switch to work. That was until I found the Lutron Caseta switch! This switch did not require a neutral wire and was much smaller in size and fit into the box easily. Also the auto sensing line & load made setup a breeze. Once the switch was installed it took a few minutes to hook up the hub for use with Alexa. I think what made this switch even better is the wireless remote which can get mounted to the wall making it a 3-way switch! My wired switch is by the front door. So anytime i needed to turn on the light I had to walk through the dining room to turn the light on. Now I can mount the wireless remote at the opposite end of the dining so I can turn on the lights as I enter the room. The switch is pricey for a smart switch, but you can not beat the ease of setup and all the features it offers! I plan on buying more of these switches in the future.

Quick and easy
|Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.Took about 15 mins to install. I had to purchase the pico remote wall adapter separately but it was inexpensive and in stock at my local hardware store. Once installed this smart dimmer easily integrated with HomeKit and Alexa. It had only been a few days but so far it has been extremely reliable.

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionDoes it need a neutral wire? Tks
Asked by JRB.
- A:Answer No, it actually will not work with one, you will need to look up a diagram of how to put the wires together to eliminate the neutral wire.
Answered by Nick
Q: QuestionThe benefits state: “The smart bridge doesn't use Wi-Fi, ...”. So this implies the Lutron Smart Bridge is stand-alone so if you lose internet connectivity the Lutron bridge will continue to work with the app within the confines of the wifi network?
Asked by AI8UT.
- A:Answer Yes, the Caseta Smart Bridge will continue to operate despite losing internet connection.
Answered by lutron
Q: QuestionCan the Pico remote be used to control Lutron Serena® remote controlled shades or will it only control "lights"?
Asked by Rhonda.
- A:Answer Pico remotes can be directly paired to Serena shades. Lutron recommends the PJ2-3BRL-GXX-S01 ("XX" for color) due to the shade engravings. For assistance with paring a Serena shade and Pico remote, please reach out to our Support Team at support@Lutron.com or by phone at 1 (844) 588-7661.
Answered by lutron
Q: QuestionHow far is the range of the hub? Will it connect with switches throughout the house as well as a detached garage?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer All the Caseta switches or dimmers have to be within a ( 30 foot ) radius from the Bridge/Hub. If the detached garage is more than ( 30 feet ) from the Bridge/Hub, then you would need to purchase a wireless auxiliary repeateer to extend the range. I highly recommend you call our Technical Support Hotline at ( 1-800-523-9466 ) before you purchase any of the Caseta devices.
Answered by lutron
Q: QuestionWhat is the battery of the control and where can I buy it?
Asked by Bruno.
- A:Answer The only device in the starter kit that uses a battery is the Pico Remote (PJ2-3BRL-GWH-L01). The battery life should last about 10 years, under normal use which is 10 triggers a day (one CR2032 battery included).
Answered by lutron
Q: QuestionCan you put the switch into an existing wallplate that is already in your wall. Will it fit?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer The Caseta in-wall dimmers and switches are designed to fit into existing standard sized wall boxes and use standard designer/decorator wall plate openings. When ganging with another control in the wall, Lutron recommends breaking off the metal fins on the sides of the control.

Q: QuestionHow many switches can be added to the bridge?
Asked by UncleD.
- A:Answer You can add a maximum of 75 devices on the Smart Bridge. See Lutron FAQ: https://www.casetawireless.com/faqs

Q: QuestionWould I be able to control Eve Light strip with this?
Asked by Charles.
- A:Answer The PD-6WCL dimmer that comes in this kit is rated for 150W of compatible LED/CFL or 600W incandescent/halogen. If using LEDs with this dimmer, Lutron recommends visiting www.lutron.com/ledfinder or www.lutronc.om/ledtool to see which LEDs are compatible. If the lights intended for the application do not show up in the results, Lutron recommends contacting the lighting manufacturer to see which dimmers are listed as compatible.
