I currently use the Lutron Caseta Wireless to control my favorite smart lighting, so I am providing you with an honest Lutron Caseta Review. But for some, its Caseta Wireless Dimmer’s four symbol-festooned buttons can look busy and well-cheesy. It does the exact opposite of a new Lutron Diva Smart Dimmer. It looks exactly like Lutron’s conventional dimmer with a simple pedal switch with a physical slider on the right so it can control dimness.
It uses a 120-volt operating system through which you can use it very easily. You can use them together with a fan, and lights. If you want to turn it on and off with the help of a voice controller, you can do that through Alexa and Google Assistant.
To take full advantage of what Lutron Caseta can do, you must have Lutron’s Caseta Smart Hub hardwired into your router. In addition to letting you manage lights, the Caséta Hub lets you control Lutron’s excellent Serena smart window shades and any brand of ceiling fan. There are also indoor and outdoor Caseta smart plugs and a wall-mounted motion sensor.
The Caseta Deluxe Dimmer Kit with the Caseta Smart Hub gives you easy and personalized control of your lights, shades, and temperature. Or you can control it from anywhere in the world using the Pico remote control or the Smart Lutron app. Stay with me for more details about this Lutron Caseta Review.
