Lutron Caseta Original Smart Switch (Lutron Smart Hub Required), for LED Lights and Fans, 6 Amp, Single-Pole/3-Way, Neutral Required, PD-6ANS-BL, Black

I installed the Lurton Caseta light switches in my home a little over a year ago and they have been nothing short t of spectacular. I’m writing the review here on the 6-ANS but my system also includes PD-10NXL, PD-5WS-DV and PD-3PCL and certainly applies to them as well.First of all let me say that when up and running the system is flawless. Not once have I lost network connection with any of my switches! The switches look great on the wall and are of very high quality to the touch. A switch isn’t a glamorous device so to say that it functions as it supposed to isn’t particularly awe inspiring. Rest assured these switches do turn things on, such as lights, fans and lamps every single time. Dimming works well too. But these are smart devices so it’s the way they go about the work that is awesome. They work perfectly with Alexa or Siri for voice control inside your home, or from anywhere in the world via Apple HomeKit or Lurton Caseta app. Can’ remember if you turned off a light in your house? No problem, pull up either app and it gives you each switch’s status and of course you can operate the switch as well. There are other third party apps that integrate as well.Product selection: You need to research which product does what and which works for each specific application. This means single pole versus multi-pole (3 or 4 way switches), dimmer or non-dimmer, how much wattage the switch can handle (for multiple bulbs per switch) and fan amperage if appropriate. This was the most time consuming part for me because I have a varied mixture of situations which required different switches to do the job. I have 16 individual Caseta switches in all controlling over 50 bulbs, fans or lamps.Installation: I am in no way a trained electrician so this was a big undertaking. However the instructions were clear so I had no hesitation. If you don’t like to wire your own fixtures, switches, etc., you may want to hire an electrician as it is a little complex when dealing with three way switches. That being said, I did call customer support on a few occasions and they were excellent at helping me wire and troubleshoot my error.Setup: The Lurton bridge connects to your router or Ethernet switch and setup is a breeze using any internet connected device. Adding each device is as simple as pressing the switch and adding it via the app. It couldn’t be easier really.Cons: Price! These are very expensive devices which really adds up when you have several of them. The prices haven’t fallen over the past year either. Cheap faceplates from my local hardware store didn’t fit, requiring me to trim or buy better quality ones which of course added to the cost. I also replaced all of my toggle switches with rectangular ones so the would match. If you hire the installation then that obviously adds more.Conclusion: We love our smart home devices and these are no exception. It was well worth the time planning and researching and I enjoyed the challenge of the install. Not having to get out of bed to turn off the back yard light from letting the dog out is just one example of convenience. We will be installing them in our vacation place this spring.

I have steadily added automation to my new house. These Lutron Caseta switches have been a key part of my automation. I have now installed several switches, dimmers, and fan controls throughout the house. If you are comfortable with replacing an outlet or simple light switch, these are easy to install. It gets more challenging when you have an existing three-way switch setup (two switches in different locations controlling the same light). This takes more experience and patience, figuring out which wires on your existing switches go where. You will need to replace one of the three-way switches, and modify the connections on the other three-way switch. I think I have done five 3-way switches or dimmers at this point, and the first couple required some research to understand how to connect them. It didn't help that the instructions that came with the first switches I installed had at least one wire color mislabeled. The latest I bought had corrected this error in the instructions.The Google integration works great! Once you add the device to Google Home, you can group several together in a room so that you can control them individually or as a whole room. Now we can say "hey Google, turn the kitchen lights on", and three different lights are turned on. We can also say "hey Google, turn the kitchen sink light on" or "he Google, turn the kitchen island light on" to turn them on individually. It works great!

I have never questioned the quality and reliability of the Caseta network. It works as reliably as a finger press but is so much easier. Despite an older tech...it works when others don't. I have been a smart home user for almost two decades and can't recommend this product enough. HomeKit support and easy install make this product stand out, but the reliability makes it shine...or maybe that is the light bulb it turned on 99.999999% of the time.

Yo le dije producto igual de la misma marca metros garantía por funcionalidad y calidad no fallan y aunque son costosos vale la pena

Useful for controlling lights remotely. ie in place of a two way switch.
