A:  Thank you for your question, DVRF-5NS-WH-R is an on/off smart switch and will only operate as an on/off switch.

A:  Yes. However, be aware that the Caseta hub requires a wired connection and the google mesh router only has a single wired port. If it is available then the Caseta hub will plug in, otherwise you would also need a switch to add additional ports if you have other wired devices.

A:  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. Third party dimmers and switches cannot be paired to the Caseta Smart Bridge. 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.
