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

Slick product
|Posted .Owned for 2 months when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value3 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I have a bunch of Hue lights integrated with Alexa but decided to try a couple of these switches for some recessed lights. Installation was easy, the app is slick, and it integrates easily with Alexa. It's a bit on the pricey side and there are cheaper alternatives, but this is a quality product.

Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5I previously used my lutron lights with a wink but since wink started to charge I cancelled my account. I therefore needed to control the lights anotherway. I use the bridge with Google and alexa. Works really well.

Best HomeKit Dimmer Switch
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I replaced an Wemo dimmer switch which gave me constant problems with this light switch. Night and day difference. Will only buy Lutron switches from now on. This was the least expensive way to get into the Lutron ecosystem.

PERFECT for my hallway with switch
|Posted .Owned for 5 months when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5It is the perfect solution for my long dark hallway where the switch is in the kitchen instead of my bedroom door way and I love the dimming feature and priced just right. Electrician is needed if you don't have the skill. Not expense at all to install.

What experts are saying

Answered by Nick
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.

Q: QuestionWhy do I need a bridge?
Asked by MD.
- A:Answer The Smart Bridge allows you to control your Caséta Wireless controls and Lutron Serena® remote controlled shades from anywhere with your smartphone, using the free Lutron App for Caséta Wireless. The bridge provides multiple benefits over Wi-Fi products: It is ultra-fast and reliable ensuring your lights react instantly every time you adjust them from the app or Pico remote control. The bridge prevents the cluttering of your Wi-Fi network by acting as the single point of connection to the cloud. It is also easier to set-up and enables more local control/integrations with other smart home products.

Q: QuestionI your description, there are a number of compatible devices listed but no dependency of 3rd party hubs requirements mentioned. Does the hub support native z-wave (+) and zigbee devices or must another hub be incorporated to control them?
Asked by AI8UT.
- A:Answer Lutron utilizes its own proprietary communication frequency called Clear Connect. The Caseta Smart Bridge does not have ZigBee or Zwave capability built-in. Lutron is compatible with several third parties that do incorporate Zigbee and Zwave, though. You can see these third parties listed here: https://www.casetawireless.com/works-with.
Answered by lutron
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.
