Caseta Smart Lighting Dimmer Switch Starter Kit with Smart Hub (P-BDG-PKG1W)

I bought these primarily for exterior lighting for a duplex house. There are actually 10 separate exterior lights around the perimeter. I ended up buying a second hub to extend signal. I can easily toggle between the two hubs in the app. I set up dusk to dawn lighting at the brightness I chose. Tweaked some lights to turn off at bedtime. I'm so happy with this system, I'm planning to add more on indoor lights, and experiment with a Caseta fan switch plus one without the dimmer function.

I looked at number of brands - all seemed to lack something. I had given up until I stumbled on this. It was perfect, installed in minutes, and adaptable to my set up. I started with a 30yr farmhouse, 2 yrs ago added perimeter outdoor LED eave lights, on 2 switches opposites of house (not 2 way, but separate circuit, front and back). I wanted programmable with sundown/sun up, and control from either switch, or from just one in a third location. This did it all! (Photo shows back, on position.)

I recently purchased a house that had several Caseta switches already installed in every room and love them. I needed an option to control them so I purchased the hub kit. It works fantastic and provides an excellent option for my lighting needs. Very simple and easy to install and program. The remotes are a bonus and are handy if you want to carry around with you. Im 100% satisfied and happy with the purchase. Would recommend 100%

Product is great. All components work with little effort. I did have a setup issue. Called Lutron customer support, they are great! I would like to see bulk packages for switches to reduce my cost. Less hubs, more switches. I would replace all in my house.

I used this switch to turn on our foyer chandelier and it works great! I used Philipps 5.5 LED BA11 and I had no issue dimming the lights, even though it's not listed on Lutron's website as a compatible light just yet. This switch and those LED lights worked together well. No flickering or strobe light effect. The wall switch fit okay (with some alterations/adjustment) with the rest of the switches on the new wall plate that I purchased. Making all the switches fit on the new 4-gang wall plate was the only hard part in this whole process for me. The app is decent, although I wasn't sure what the feature "Scene" is for as the instruction made no mention of it. I wish there was some kind follow up email from Lustro after the bridge self-registered. It should have automatically generated an email with instructions or or at least a link to instructions on how to work with the app. Otherwise, will just have to google it. For now, what matters is that it gives me what I need like the geofence - it will turn the outdoor lights on when I get within 1000 ft (minimum) of my house, and I also have it scheduled to turn on for 20 minutes when I'm leaving for work at midnight. The bridge seem to have a good signal as the switch is past 4 walls from it, at about 50 ft on the opposite corner of the house. The best thing about the bridge, is that it can pair up to 75 switches (who has that many switches anyway at $50/each? Okay?) The Pico remote has to be paired to the switch. It's independent of the bridge which is a good thing. Although it took me a couple of times to get it to work. Also, I wish it had its own holder that I can stick on the wall so that I don't have to permanently make it into a secondary switch in our upstairs hallway. One last thing, this switch only uses 3 wires: load (black for my case), live/hot (also black), and ground. I used a meter to test which is which, but for some, if removing from an old switch, the bottom black is live, and the top black is load. All-in-all, I think this upgrade is worth what I need it for.

This is not the first Lutron product we've purchased, however, it was the first one with the hub. We had been using Wink previously but didn't want to pay the monthly fee (they were switching to this model) so we decided to purchase the Lutron hub instead. We love Lutron products, easy to install, easy to use and works with Alexa so we can control things from across the room. We can tell her to turn on or off the the lights as well as dim them to a specific level. This particular kit is nice with the remote that can either be a standalone remote (like on a nightstand) or you can get the extra kit and mount it in a wall switch plate (in place of a light switch).

A pico remote can be used in 3 ways: As a standalone remote, replacing a second switch in a 3-way circuit or stick it to the wall. I used mine to replace an additional switch. Can not tell the difference between the wired switch and the pico remote once installed.

Simple installation and configuration. Works seamlessly with Google Home. Unlike most smart plugs and bulbs if your family turns off the switch rather than use your smart home interface the system does not lose the status of the lighting and is able to continue operating it.

It was very easy to setup and install.

Easy to install and setup was a breeze. The app is mundane and uninviting, like using a typewriter.
