Lutron PD-6WCL-WH Caseta Wireless 600/150-Watt Single Pole In-Wall Dimmer, White

Only comments is that Lutron included digital installation drawing. For the price paper was better to use

What a value! My last home, I installed a Control4 system where each switch cost $200.The Lutron Hub system allows for value based growth in Home Automation. Each new LED fixture might call for a dimmer and this unit is fast and easy to install. Latter buy the Hub and you are on your way to full automation in home lighting.

The best smart switch system on the market!

better than smart bulb

I have used a number of different smart light switches and these are my favorite. They are the most reliable. I have been using them since they came out about 10 years ago and have rarely had any issues. They work great with all types of bulbs. They look nice. Easy to install, if they fit in the box (most of my boxes are small metal ones that have nails through them so there isn't much room or tucking the wire in nicely so i have to replace the box usually). Range is not as far as Wi-Fi, but in my 2600 sq-ft home it has not been an issue. Yeah you need a hub, but if that is what it takes to make them this reliable, it's well worth it. They are a bit pricey, but they work great. The App is easy to use. It doesn't have a ton of features, but it integrates easily with Alexa, Google/Nest and IFTTT. I guess it works well with Apple Home as well. These are handy if don't have a neutral, most other smart switches need a neutral or work off Bluetooth and the range on most of them us pretty poor and they also require an interface module.

I got hooked into home automation after solving a few very basic quality of life issues that dramatically improved a few problems in our home. I debated heavily between smart bulbs and smart switches before I purchased anything. After trialing these Lutron Casetas, I'm going (almost) all-in with Lutron!I own a 1985 home and was interested in modernizing the general lighting experience as one of my next projects. Lutron has an excellent reputation in the smart switching market and after using them, it's for a very good reason.These switches are a perfect addition where you want manual push-button light dimming capabilities. They can act as "fast" on/off, graduated dimming to specific levels or in my case, can be highly automated with external home automation platforms. They can also be used in 3-way applications, however, this requires the addition of a Pico remote. This makes sense to me so you don't get "smart tech fighting smart tech" in your lighting circuits.When do you want to avoid a dimming switch? In applications such as pumps, fluorescent ballasts, garbage disposals, most outdoor security lighting, locations you might use a smart bulb and ceiling fans. Basically, anything that isn't designed specifically to be electrically dimmed or lowered in voltage. These applications are better served by Lutron's on/off switches or even dumb on/off switches.The installation of these switches are fairly straight forward. You need a basic understanding of electricity, including the "load" wire and the "hot" wire. These particular Lutron switches don't require a neutral wire, but if you're going into smart switches, be aware that some models require it. I strongly recommend using Wago connectors for your retrofit, they are light years beyond traditional wire nuts. Other than this, installation is straight forward and requires only a few basic hand tools. I had a little bit of difficulty in "tight" switch boxes, but made it work as these are generally fairly slim smart switches.If you have appropriate dimming-capable bulbs, you will immediately be greeted by a super-fancy "dim-on" and slightly slower "dim-off" function when you press the on or off buttons. This is a "luxurious" experience out of the box and is one of the reasons I went Lutron.Let's talk about bulbs. If you're still pondering a smart bulb for your particular lighting application, this dimming switch might not be for you. In general, this switch will work best with a "dumb" bulb that can be properly dimmed. Smart bulbs don't handle the dimming effect properly, they aren't really "compatible" from a technology standpoint. So you really have to figure out your strategy going in and you might be better served by Lutron Aurora or Lutron's true on/off switches. Likewise, I've discovered in my installations that I needed to change some of my bulbs to ones that can be dimmed. You'll know this is the case if you have problems with "strobing" on power off or bulbs that don't fully turn off. In my case, this didn't really irk me because I'm adding dimming functions where it has never existed before.Pairing this dimming switch with the Lutron hub is crazy easy. Just press a button while you're adding the switch in the app. Likewise, I use Home Assistant as my home automation platform. Adding these switches was equally easy there. The current integration is super slick and requires very little actual effort.I have three rules for "critical infrastructure" in my home, which I'd classify lighting as exactly that. First, the technology must work intuitively, like a normal light switch would. Second, it has to work without any fancy "server smarts" or special networks in place. Lastly, it has to integrate with a home automation solution of my choice, I don't want to be forced into a particular cloud solution or app. These Lutron switches fit exactly these criteria and is part of the reason I didn't go with smart bulbs.For examples of how I use these smart dimming switches? I have motion activated lighting in my bathrooms, closets, entryway and stairwell. I no longer need to proclaim, "Turn the lights off" as I can now make that decision in an automated and unobtrusive way. I use the dimming functions to turn my bathroom lights on to heavily dimmed level during certain hours, so I'm not "blasted" by bright light if I use the bathroom at 3AM. I can keep a low power and dimmed "always on" outdoor security light, and then light everything up to full blast when my security camera's AI analysis detects a human. (No more rain or snowfall triggering a lighting "disco palace" in my outdoor lighting!) I also can much better tune the "mood" of my room lighting using scene concepts with this and other technologies.If you're in the market for smart switches, these should definitely be up for your consideration. A common complaint is that they are expensive, but they are incredibly reliable, fast and operate without any other technologies. They will add value to your home since they are true "infrastructure" and you can claim "home automation ready" should you go to sell your home. I am very glad I went the Lutron route overall and this review explains a bit of why I went "all in" with Lutron's smart switching.

Lución de la marca que se describe por sí misma es caro pero funcional y no te da problemas

Not sure if it's the marketing or what, but they make it seem like these are the caseta switches everyone should buy. However because of there lack of neutral they don't work very well with all lights. I have multiple different brand of lights and installed 4 of them and only 1 worked perfectly. Lots of people have these problems online aswell and lutron doesn't have much of a solution. If you don't have a neutral in your jbox then try this since it's really your only option, lutron wise. If you do, then get the pro, its only a little bit more expensive and it worked with all my lights, no flickering, no pop-up (where the light hits full blast then off then full etc). The pro seems to be more of a one size fits all. Of course the ELV+ is the best one but that is the most expensive one, it's the way LEDs are supposed to be dimmed, but the pro works just fine for me. Another thing is if you don't have enough wattage, like if it's for the stairs light or washroom and you only have 2 pot lights then the non-pro will also have trouble with those, so another reason to get the pro and improve your chances. Lutron is the best system, you just have to get the right switch.

Switch installed easily with no additional work required. Removed old rocker switch and fitted this one with no mods or any other additional work. I would recommend this over others which require an additional wire to be installed. Dimming works as expected. I ordered the matching remote which works fine especially the "favorite" button. The remote is well overpriced but is very convenient.

Embarking on the "make the office sentient project" I quickly discovered none of our switch boxes had a neutral, so the only option to have control over the lights was to use these dimmers which explicitly do not require a neutral. The existing fluorescent tubes were not dimmable (or so we thought), so I spent a few hundred on https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07C3YLLW8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (Philips 469635 LED Instantfit Dimmable 4-Foot T8 Tube Light Bulb 2100-Lumen, 5000-Kelvin, 14 (32-Watt Equivalent), Medium Bi-Pin G13 Base, Daylight (5000K), 10 Pack), figuring everything would be good to go.Sadly, when those tubes arrived and were installed, all I got was disco lights and no noticeable dimming effect. After some research (hours going through Phillip's websites and compatibility documents), I found a dimmable ballast (Philips Advance REZ-2S32-SC Mark 10 Dimming Dimmable Ballast for (2) F32T8 F25T8 Lamps), that was widely available (on eBay), and relatively cheap.The REZ-2S32-SC ballasts only drive two tubes each, which was a bit of a pain as it meant we needed two per fixture. The ballasts instantly redeemed themselves, however, when I tried fitting the old Sylvania T8 tubes back into one of the upgraded fixtures. I wasn't expecting a positive outcome from this, but Instead of flickering, darkness, fire, or explosions when I instructed Siri to turn set the fixture to 50% I got the fluorescents on, stable, at 50%. They were stable in fact, throughout roughly the same brightness range as the Philips 469635 LED tubes.We ended up keeping the Philips LED tubes, as they're a nicer colour temperature than the fluorescents, and supposedly less flickery for people sensitive to that, but, if you're considering using these dimmers in an office environment with older wiring and fluorescent tubes, know that you don't necessarily need to replace all the existing tubes, you may be able to get away with swapping out the ballasts.

El dimmer viene my bien protegido en su caja, yo ya sabia que estaba comprando pero ojo les explico para que no se equivoquen , en este producto solo viene el dimmer, no viene el control pico ni tampoco una placa para la pared, para que funcione de manera inteligente y poder controlarlo con el celular es necesario haber adquirido anteriormente el bridge que se vende por separado.Funciona sin el bridge pero no van a poder usarlo con el celular, es decir lo instalan y funciona como cualquier apagador común y corriente.Habiendo dicho lo anterior me encanto, funciona excelente tanto en la aplicación de lutron como con homekit de apple, se puede ajustar el rango máximo de atenuación lo cual es muy practico.Hasta el momento no he tenido problemas de conexión o que la aplicación no me reconozca el apagador todo perfecto.

I love these. Easy to install, though they do take up some room in the electrical box. Quick set up. Seamlessly integrate with Siri. Awesome to be able to call up a preset scene with automatic shades and indoor / outdoor lighting with either your phone or Apple remote. They seem to work really well with all our various LED lights, including pot lights which were not advertised as dimmable.I have also used Lutron Ceseta switches to control two gas fireplaces (switching the 120v supply, not the low voltage) and to schedule a towel warmer. I really love this line. The only thing I would like to see is Caseta friendly occupancy/motion sensor, so that you could schedule and use scenes, but also have the lights turn on when you enter certain rooms if it is dark.

We recently picked up a remote, and decided to try out some of these Caseta dimmers since they're compatible with the Logitech remotes.Initially I just got one of these switch/remote combos; but, we liked it so much that we ended up replacing most of the switches downstairs.Interestingly enough, it looks like there have been at least 2 or 3 revisions of these switches - and Lutron seems to be fixing some of the usability issues.For example, the wall switch itself is completely flat; so, it takes some practice to turn it on in the dark. The newer revision has small 'nubs' on the switch (kind of like braille bumps) so it's easier to find the correct button in the dark.The Pico remote includes a large button in the middle of the switch that's very convenient - and I'm not sure why the wall switches don't have that same feature since it makes the remote a lot more usable in the dark...Aside from some minor revision differences, here are the things we like about these:1) The dimmers work perfectly with our . The dimming range is excellent, and the switches are adjustable so you can actually set the minimum and maximum dimmer setting to match your bulbs.2) The Pico remote will pair with one switch; but, if you use it with the , you can actually pair a single Pico remote with as many switches as you want. That makes it possible to do some cool things - like turning off all the lights downstairs with a wall-mounted Pico remote.3) Once again, when paired with the Lutron Smart Bridge, it's possible to turn lights on and off on a schedule - and the schedule can even be based on the current sunrise and sunset times. This is one of the coolest features of these switches once you start messing around with it!4) These can be controlled either individually or in groups using the Logitech Home Control remote.5) Lutron has a very easy to understand video on their website that shows how to wire these into a 3-way switch configuration. In essence, you just remove one of the switches and replace it with the Pico remote - while the wired switch ends up working as a standard switch. The wiring only takes a few minutes and it works perfectly. I love that up always equals 'on', unlike a standard 3-way switch configuration - and the battery life on the Pico remote is supposed to be 10 years.6) These dimmers look great.7) The install process was easy, and the instructions and videos that Lutron provides are some of the best I've seen.Even though we like them enough to replace most of switches in our downstairs, I do have some complaints:1) The completely flat face of the switch takes some getting used to - as I already mentioned. The revision with the small nubs does help with this, so I wish all of the ones we got had that feature. (I actually wish the switch was the same as the Pico Remote with the raised button in the center...)2) If you want to mount the Pico remote in a 3-way configuration (which most buyers of this kit probably do), then you'll need to pick up the as well. Lutron put quite a bit of thought into this package - and I wish they had included that bracket.I'm not trying to overstate the usability issues. I reality, it's pretty quick to adjust - but just be aware that it does take some adjustment.If you're just looking for a dimmer that will work with LED and CFL lights, then there are less expensive options out there that work just as well. If, on the other hand, you're looking to combine this with either the Lutron Smart Bridge or the Logitech Home Control remote, then this is part of an excellent system!I would definitely recommend trying these out.
