This switch is packed with features that make it a standout option. Whether you’re using voice commands or controlling your lights from an app, Lutron has you covered.
I installed the Lutron Caseta switches a year ago and they’ve been amazing. They never lose connection and are very reliable, turning lights and fans on and off without a hitch.
Setting them up wasn’t too hard, even for someone like me with no electrical background. The instructions were clear, and customer support was very helpful when I had questions.
Easy Installation
Setting up the Lutron Caseta Smart Lighting Switch is a breeze. You can replace your old switch in as little as 15 minutes. Just remember, you will need a neutral wire for it to work. The easy-to-follow instructions make the process smooth, even if you’re not an electrician. If you want to avoid the hassle, you could always hire a professional to do it for you.
Peace of Mind
With the Lutron Caseta Smart Lighting Switch, you can set your lights to change automatically with the seasons. This means your home will always be well-lit, no matter the time of year. You can also enable the ‘smart away’ feature, which randomly turns your lights on and off to make it look like someone is home, even when you’re not. Please note that you will need the Caseta Smart Hub to use these features.
Most Connected
The Lutron Caseta system connects with more smart home devices than any other brand. This includes popular systems like Amazon Alexa, Apple Home, Google Assistant, Ring, Serena shades, and Sonos. To enjoy this wide range of connections, you will need the Caseta Smart Hub.
Versatile Control
You have multiple ways to control your lights with the Lutron Caseta system. You can use the free Lutron app, your voice, or the wall switch. You can even create schedules in the app or set up scenes with a button. Again, you will need the Caseta Smart Hub for these features.
Wireless Remote Control
For additional convenience, pair your switch with the wireless Pico remote. This allows you to turn your lights on and off from anywhere in your home with just a touch of a button.
Easy 3-Way Setup
If you need a 3-way switch setup, the Lutron Caseta makes it easy. You can create a new 3-way application by mounting the Pico remote to almost any wall surface without cutting holes or pulling wire. You can also replace existing 3-way switches by mounting the bracket and Pico over the backbox. Note that the Pico remote and mounting bracket are sold separately.
