Wonderful
I’ve been using Caseta Smart Dimmer Switches for a several years. Since I have some health issues it has simplified turning lights & fans on/off. Some people think flipping a switch or pushing a button is easy (I did at one time) until one has various health issues. One problem that I’ve encountered is that I have two switches in my kitchen, one for the ceiling lights and the other for the island lights. When I have Siri turn off one set of lights they both get turned off. I had to add Kitchen B and use that to differentiate between the two set of lights.

    Unlimited flexability
    I have multi gang boxes that are too crowded to fit the switches. Moving the main switch to the other end of a 3way and using a Pico removes the wiring congestion. In the kitchen i needed to add an outlet to the existing 4 Gang box surround by tille again i took one of the 3 way circuits and moved the main to the other end of the circuit installed a 5 gang faceplate i added the outlet and used a pico into the extra opening or having to do any work that traditionally would have required cutting tile removing the 4 gang outlet box to install a 5 gang outlet. Reducing a 5 hr or so project into a 45 min project with zero cleanup. Using your imagination the Caseta/Pico features you can retrofit on old house to a 100% modern concept. Oh and using the Bridge everything is 100% voice controlled both locally or from anywhere in the world i the internet acess..

      Good non-neural wire requiring dimmer
      It's a good non-neural wire requiring dimmer, pairs super easily with the hub though I wish it weren't required. Its one semi-fatal flaw is it doesn't remember the last setting so my lights always come on full-blast. The $60 price tag's a bit egregious.

          Do not buy this unless you’re ok with buzzing lights or going through their compatibility tool to make sure all your lights will work. Go with the PD-5NE instead. Sure it’s $99, but it works with all bulbs. All you need is a neutral wire. Not sure why Home Depot and Lutron don’t push the 5NE more. It’s so much better.

          "Dear Valued Home Depot Customer, We have reached out to the manufacturer and their reply isWe're glad to see you found a solution, Nick You may discover, like in your case, that a different dimmer worked better for your application. Confirming compatibility is still important for any of our dimming solutions.  We recommend making sure your bulb has been tested and approved by Lutron to provide the best dimming performance with your dimmer. There is currently no industry standard in LED manufacturing; since not all LEDs are designed the same, performance will vary with different dimmers.  Because of this, we offer a list of compatible bulbs that we have tested to be compatible with our dimmers.  To view this list of bulbs, please see our LED Compatibility Tool at lutron.com/ledfinder.​

            I like the fact that I can add several remotes to this without having to wire the house BUT @ 60$ this switch has no preset light level - the Pico remote that work with it does. They are very slow to react and you have to stop and hold the switch waiting for it to adjust. You will have to spend $100 to get the switch with the preset level button in the middle. Sad.

            I needed a couple more of these switches to complete my downstairs. This is a little cheaper than the switch with the remote included . There are only two power wires and a neutral so installation is pretty easy. I'm not going to say that having connected lighting is needed but it's nice to have. I have certain lights come on in the morning when we all head out for school and work. If someone forgets to turn them off, there is a scene set to turn them off automatically. I use Apple Homekit so I also have voice control via Siri. It's pretty neat.

            Great smart home system
            When we remodeled our home, the electrician recommended the Caseta system. All works great, except one switch quit working after a couple of years.

              Worked perfectly. Easy install. Using with the remote as well which is such a great idea to replace a 3 way switch.

              These are great smart devices. No hub needed just a good WiFi signal and you’re good to go. The product support has not replied to my email I sent so hopefully they will soon. The device did set up simply just as the 6 other devices we installed.

              I love these dimmer switches. This is the fifth one I've had installed within the past 2 years. You can control them via the Lutron app on your phone (using the bridge, sold separately) or by manually adjusting them. Software is a breeze to get them set up. Just make sure you are using dimmable bulbs. Fantastic.

              I like this switch but the one downside is that you cant set the dimmer to remain at a certain point so each time you turn on the light you have to dim to your liking.

              The unit works flawlessly. Easy to install/replace the previous switch. The entire process took less than 15 minutes. Using the unit for 2 weeks

                Smell of burning wire from inside the switch
                We have had these smart switches for more than a year. Since last week most of them don't work properly and smell smoke.

                  After 2 years all of my switches stopped working
                  I reset them and reinstalled them but it looks like all of my 11 of these Lutron Smart Dimmers have hardware problem. Something burned inside.

                    The review is for the shopping experience. I will stop shopping at Home Depot if I can’t actually see, touch and compare products. I’m not going to shop with my phone, scan QR codes and wait for someone to get the product out of a cage only to find out it’s the wrong one and have to go through all that hassle.

                      Hello Ryan, thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear about your experience. The Caseta PD-6WCL model dimmer is able to achieve multi-location control by wirelessly pairing to Pico remote controls, which are wireless and can mount overtop of an existing switch location using the PICO-WBX-ADAPT Pico wallplate adapter bracket. See page 5 of the below spec sheet for more information on this installation:
