Lutron Caseta Original Smart Dimmer Switch Kit w/ Hub, with Pico Remote, Wallmount Bracket, & Smart Hub, Works with Alexa, Apple Home, Google Home, 3 Way, 150W, No Neutral Req, P-BDG-PKG1W-A

I've been eyeing this whole Lutron Caseta for quite a long time now. Replacing my X10 system from 30+ years ago. But to do the whole house will get quite expensive. I prefer this over individual smart bulbs, as that can get REALLY expensive, especially when replacing many bulbs. This was a breeze to connect to the hub, to Alexa, to my iPad and Android, and to integrate with the modules and Pico remotes. I wish I hopped on board earlier. Amazon had a little sale on these, so I went full in. By the end of the day my entire home was set up with multiple switches, modules, the hub and Picos. The switches and modules look very sleek and modern, without standing out like they are trying to win a design award. Just a nice basic modern look. Honestly, some of the other brands are very nice looking, but not in a classic way, much more like a passing fad. I can't attest to the operability of the other brands, since this Lutron set up worked out of the box. Also, it was the only one I found that worked on older homes with out the third wire. My home was built in 1893, the elctrical probably is from the 1950's or earlier. Bam! It worked. Oh, and YES, you can brighten from a "dead off" position without having to go first to full brightness as on some brands. The ONLY issue: With the wall switches, it will not remember the last brightness setting. (Pico's will, with a pre-programmed dim/bright level - center round button). On either, you can brighten up from zero as I said.

Disclosure: I bought this a few years ago from writing of this review. Amazing product! This has been an essential part of my smart home. In the box, they provided screws, wire nuts, instructions, the switch, pico remote, pico remote bracket, and the hub. The instructions were easy to understand for those who may be nervous about electrical, really went into detail about what to do. I used this device as a replacement for a 3-way switch. The installation was fairly simple for that setup. The dimmer switch has two black wires and a green wire, one black wire gets wired to the incoming power and the other wire is connected to the two traveler wires, and ground to ground. On the other side, all three wires are connected together with a wire nut. Screw in the device and the bracket to the wall, the pico remote slides onto the bracket easily. These switches were both part of a two gang box (light and fan), and the faceplate for it fit perfectly over it. The overall look is nice, the dimmer switch has a set up small green lights for the dimmer level... not to noticeable with the light on. One thing I noticed off the bat was that the pico remote has an additional button on it for setting the brightness to 50%, the dimmer switch does not have that button. Setup was simple too. Connected the hub to power and ethernet, downloaded the app, created an account, and it looked for the hub instantly. Found the hub and then started looking for devices. The hub found the dimmer and the pico remote quickly and I had them added to my account. I assigned the room they were in and that was it for setup. I went a step further and linked Lutron to my google home account for voice control. Eventually, I moved to Home Assistant with this Lutron (will connect with Lutron integration or Homekit). As stated before, I bought these a few years back. To this day, they are still functioning the same as when I first installed them. I haven't noticed any issues with them since buying. I'd say these are very durable for a home. I did purchase a few more to put around the house and setup more automations with them. Very happy with Lutron!

Lutron was founded by the inventor of the dimmer switch, and has more experience and a broader range of them than anyone else. These are an easy way to replace a regular switch, or add a new switch anywhere without new wiring. An optional hub (included with some kits) expands its capabilities, but it does all the most common functions even without the hub. I've tried dimming several brands of LED light bulbs and it's worked well, dimmed to low levels, and not flickered with all of them. It also works with many home-automation ecosystems (i use Apple Homekit). Highly recommended.

Bought 1 unit so that my driveway lights can come on at dusk and off at dawn. Extremely easy to install since it's one of the few units that does not require a neutral a the box. Very easy to pair with the app. Love the fact that after it's programmed, it does not require Wifi to function. Plan on buying at least another 4. A bit expensive, but it is a Lutron.

Me encanto, muy fácil de instalar

家中にこのスイッチが設置してる。 何年も使ってるけどホームアクセサリーの中で最も信頼性が高いアイテムです。

Cada vez le suben más de precio y con la competencia de focos inteligentes en el mercado cada vez menos justificado. Un gran sistema estable y confiable pero caro

I bought this to replace an older lighting control product. Integrates with my Google Home and works better than the old product.
