Review: Five years in, this is still the smart lighting system I would go with - When I moved into a new home five years ago, I knew I wanted smart switches, but I had already had poor experiences with some of the more consumer-oriented smart switches from other brands. I wanted something more reliable, more robust, and something I could scale across the house without constantly troubleshooting it. It did not take long before I landed on Lutron Caséta, and five years later, I am very glad I did. I started by buying about 15 switches and replacing some of the primary switches in the house one by one myself. They are very easy to install. If you've done any light electrical work, you will have no issue. The only issue I did run into was squeezing them into three and four gang boxes as they are much larger than a normal light switch or dimmer. There were a few I just gave up on and let my electrician handle, as some of the wires needed to be cut shorter and whatnot. I added the Lutron bridge to my router and primarily controlled everything through Apple Home. Over time, that small setup turned into a whole-home lighting system. Nearly all of the switches in my house are now Lutron, and I have used nearly every version, including standard dimmers, ELV dimmers, lamp dimmers, 2 outdoor switches for holiday lights, and 15 or so Pico remotes. The reliability has been outstanding. My house is around 5,000 square feet including the basement, and I never have issues controlling lights from the app, from Apple Home, from Siri, or directly at the wall. In five years, I have only had to restart the Lutron bridge once. That is the kind of boring reliability you want from smart home gear. The biggest benefit is that it changes how you interact with lighting. You stop thinking about individual switches and start thinking in scenes. I can walk into a room, use my watch, phone, or Siri device, and instantly bring a whole group of lights to exactly the right setting. Movie time in the media room sets everything perfectly. Late night kitchen turns off most of the first floor but leaves a few recessed and under-cabinet lights on. Every night at 11:30, the system turns off lights throughout the house, so I do not have to wonder if the basement, garage, or random hallway lights were left on. It is convenience, but it is also peace of mind. Another big advantage is that you can use the bulbs you want. I have a mix of LED and incandescent bulbs, depending on the fixture. For example, I still prefer incandescent bulbs in some chandeliers and kitchen island fixtures because they look better there. With Lutron switches, I am not locked into smart bulbs everywhere, which keeps the system flexible and looking high-end. There are a few downsides. I do not love the design of the Caséta dimmers that do not have the middle preset button. The Pico remote layout is much better, and I wish all of the switches used that design. They can also be a little awkward to fumble with in the dark even with the LEDs, and guests are often confused by them at first. Today, Lutron does offer more traditional paddle-style options, and if I were starting from scratch, I would definitely look closely at those. The other limitation is the device count. I eventually hit the bridge limit because Pico remotes also count as devices, and some multi-location setups require multiple Picos. For example, a single chandelier setup with multiple control points can use up several device slots quickly. That is not ideal in a larger home. The ELV dimmers are also painfully expensive compared with the standard models, but in some low-voltage setups, they are the right tool for the job. I have also experimented with Philips Hue again recently, including retrofit recessed lights and slim cans around my pool house. Hue has come a long way, but for whole-home switch replacement, Lutron still feels like the more polished and permanent solution. It looks high-end, fits into normal wall plates, works with the bulbs and fixtures I already own, and has been rock solid for years. If you are just buying one smart switch, Caséta is excellent. If you have the budget and want to build out smart lighting across an entire home, this is the system I would recommend without hesitation. It has been one of the best smart home investments I have made, and it is one of the few systems in my house that I genuinely would not want to live without.
Review: The “no longer a newbie” take: Lutron's Hub vs. other Wifi switches - I was once a newbie with Caseta - but no longer, so I hope this helps you. This kit is the first purchase you need for Lutron’s system. Once you have the hub, no more kits are needed for future switch purchases. One hub can manage up to 75 switches (and I think the Hub is included in that count). Some buyers complain about having to wire in Lutron's hub to your network with an ethernet cable. But you can't beat the speed and reliability of a wired network connection. Given that Lutron’s product works reliably and is 100% responsive all the time, this is a non-issue for me. Since I put in the first few Casetas, we truly love them and have started to replace switches all over the home. Which brings up another issue... if I had chosen a WiFi connected switches (and I did briefly for use in limited locations, more on that later) I could potentially be adding a much larger number of connected devices onto my network. If your WiFi isn't all that great to begin with - think entry level routers - this could potentially impact network performance and your connectivity with your switches. For me, that's just a no go. I really want my WiFi to work well for the things that need to be on it. The PROs of the Lutron Switches: Setting the switches up is straightforward and fast. The setup process works like expected each and every time. I cannot say the same about other non-Lutron WiFi products. Having problems setting them up or is a switch not acting right? Lutron’s support is the bees knees. They have helped me several times and each time they are great. The switches are incredibly responsive both in person and via the app. There are no delays in turning things off and on. The ceiling fan switch is especially a godsend for our old ceiling fan - no more standing on the bed to pull strings or getting up out of bed to adjust things. Lutron and Ring also teamed up and added some camera integrations where movement and/or doorbell pushes can activate lights. It works quite well, but the feature was a little buried in the Lutron app. Big bonus - the integration will also turn off lights after 15 minutes. About the app (and this is a biggie) Purchasing good hardware is one thing, having an app that you only get to experience after you purchase the hardware is downright crazy. But that's the world that smart switches seem to live in, so here's the scoop on Lutron - and the apps for a couple other systems I tried. Lutron's app is well designed and intuitive. You can quickly add new devices, program in schedules and scenes. The app also interfaces with my Lennox thermostat to display the current temp in the home (with the help of Apple's Home (home kit) app that's running on a dedicated iPad that never leaves the home). The Ring cam integration is good too. Having tried WeMo and Leviton's WiFi connected switches, my take on those apps is that they are incredibly clunky. This seems like a misstep, especially when you are going to spend most of your time interfacing with the app than the switch. Since I also use Apple's Home app with my family, every time a switch gets added into the Lutron hub, it seamlessly shows up in Apple Home. This is of course magically great. Since I didn't want to add another app into the mix for my wife and family, it's nice that there have been zero issues with cross platform integration, everything works seamlessly. The Lutron App also has a geofence capability that will turn on/off lights when you arrive and depart from the home. Haven't used that yet, but it's cool. Another side benefit, Lutron's app has an Apple watch app that you can control lights and fans with. The CONS: Edited - The Caseta hub for whatever reason didn’t have auto off timers built in. That said, the addition of their motion sensor product effectively solves this issue. If you have Ring cams, you can turn on the Caseta integration, and a motion or doorbell can turn on lights and after 15 minutes, turn them off again. This works beautifully. Other thoughts: Edited - I used IFTTT (If This Then This) before Ring and Lutron added their cam integration as a trigger to turn on/off lights. IFTTT works, but there was always a bit of a delay to turn on lights if you use it. Plus if you’re internet went down, it didn’t work. Before the Ring integration, I used a couple WeMo switches for my outdoor lighting as they had auto-off timers. But their setup and app was super clunky. Happy to be rid of them. As software support is now kinda important for app driven switches, making sure you get a switch from a company that's going to be around a while is more important than it used to be. It would be bad if your OS on your phone, requires your apps to get an update and your smart switch maker is MIA. Side note - For the two years I had WeMo switches, changes in Wifi forced me to individually reconnect all switches to it, and it was a horrible process to get them re-paired with WiFi. Lutron has never had this issue, being wired into the network. One switch I purchased from desertcart warehouse (open box) had issues with setup and Lutron’s support was fantastic. They sent a replacement switch so quickly and were really nice about it. Bottom line - stick with Lutron, it works really well.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it require the lutron hub or can i use the samsung smartthings hub instead?**
A: Your question is clear, but because some folks might not understand what they're asking, I'll cover all the bases.  1) NO third party hub - not even SmartThings - can talk "directly" to Lutron Switches... you need the Lutron hub first, and then you can have "something else" (SmartThings, etc) talk to the Lutron hub.  2) Someone else said you need the Lutron hub for "wireless", but I would clarify that the wireless remotes DO work without any hub at all. 3) The switches and their remotes function perfectly as dumb switches, without any hub at all (while this may seem obvious to some, it is a common question). Because the Caseta switches work so well as dumb switches, you could buy the switches FIRST and get the hub later (if you're considering the "Lutron Maestro" line because of the Caseta cost, this approach may be for you because at least you will have the OPTION later.... a Caseta switch is only ~$20 more than a Maestro and the Maestro is a dead-end technology-wise).

**Q: Does this kit work with apple homekit ?**
A: Yes, the Caseta Wireless system is compatible with Apple HomeKit if you are using the Smart Bridge (model: L-BDG2-WH), which is included. Please visit www.casetawireless.com/integration for more information.

**Q: can i control 2 switches with one remot**
A: Yes you can. A Pico remote has the ability to control as many switches you would like simultaneously as long as they are in range.

**Q: What's included? And does this allow you to use samsung smart things app and alexa voice control?**
A: The P-BDG-PKG1W-A includes one Smart Bridge, one PD-6WCL dimmer, one PJ2-3BRL Pico remote and one wallbox adapter plate for the Pico remote. With the Smart Bridge, you will be able to integrate Caseta and Samsung SmartThings, along with Alexa.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five years in, this is still the smart lighting system I would go with

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My electrician recommended these - and with a few glitches, we're thrilled
*by F***E on August 5, 2019*

We were renovating our home office in our attic and as part of it had to update our electrical. I researched tons of smart home products, and decided against anything that required special bulbs (Hue) and anything that wasn't Homekit compatible. Why Homekit? Because the data isn't stored on the cloud, isn't sold, and must be encrypted per Apple standards. Using the Homekit app on our phone is a nice perk, but 99% of the time we use the Lutron app. The switches once installed and linked to the hub are incredibly easy to use as just normal dimmers with decent sized buttons so even grandma is happy. Setting preset dim levels is easy too, so most of the time it's a single touch on, single touch off - already better than 99% of non-smart dimmer switches out there. Pricey - yes - but you get what you pay for. We bought this starter set to get the hub, and then separate switches. My electrician used standard GFI wall plates, and the Lutrons require about the same installation space as a traditional dimmer switch - not overly deep, no special install. The hub is easy - we have it downstairs with our router and it feeds all of the switches in the house plus anything else we want (I'm considering the compatible shades for some of the rooms with a lot of sunlight). It's quite small - a single Ethernet cable to the back of our router, and a small plug into the outlet. I have a dumb email account I never use as our Lutron account - just as I do for our TV and 99% of other smart products (there are even sites that give you a 10 minute email account that is purged afterward - for free). The glitch - some of the "open box" orders I placed to Amazon were incomplete. Some had defective switches with corroded wires. Because this was part of a renovation, I didn't find these problems until after the 30 day return window, so I had to call Lutron's support, and they arranged replacements under the 5 year warranty. Also some switches worked, but despite system resets and Lutron's excellent technical support (call as a "pro"), they could not connect to the hub despite sitting next to other working switches. The app is very good. Setup via the app is easy. There's one kill switch at the top of the app screen that will turn off all Lutron-connected devices in that room at once - very handy when my kids leave lights on. Once the switch is connected to the app, it's automatically in Homekit. If you are using low-voltage lights (many spot lights are ELV), Lutron makes a special ELV dimmer that you have to use if the lights are in total < 10w. We don't use the remote since it is connected to only one switch and we have many - but I'm adding Lutron Casetas to other rooms that need a three-pole (two light switch) connection - so you use a standard Caseta and the Pico remote with a wall mount (comes with) and a magnetic cover (extra). Super-easy. I waited 4 months to post this review to see how the system would respond to wifi outages, power outages, lightning storms, etc. and it's been fine. When wifi is out, the switches work as normal dimmers. When it comes back on, nothing needs to be reset (which is more than I can say for other systems I've tried like Wemo). Lutron Casetas are expensive, reliable, relatively easy (watch the open boxes and ELV fixtures), and the LIVE tech support is very helpful. Each switch contains info and diagrams for installation and connecting to the hub. I wish they carried more Pro products because these are excellent.
