Caseta Smart Lighting Kit w/Hub, 2 Original Dimmer Switches, 2 Pico Remotes, & More, for LED Bulbs, Works w/Alexa, Apple Homekit, Google Home, 150W Single-Pole/3-Way, P-BDG-PKG2W-A

In 2020 I lived in an older house with no neutral wires. I wanted to upgraded the lights in the living room and kitchen to smart lights, but most of the available options were expensive smart bulbs or systems that only work with neutral wires. Like everything else I purchase, I do TONS of research first. I eventually found this system and it matched my needs exactly. I purchased this kit plus a single additional dimmer to use in a 3-way switch setup. It was very easy to install, even for the 3-way switch. The included plate covers hide the screw holes giving it a more modern and clean look. It even comes with a remote. After installing the hub and switches I downloaded and installed the free mobile app. With the app you have complete control of every switch individually, thanks to the tiny hub that ties them all together using its own wireless network. The hub plugs into your wireless router so you can control your switches from anywhere over the internet. You can also create scenes and schedules to control them separately or together in groups for different scenarios. For example, sometimes I wanted to turn off the kitchen and living rooms at the same time with a single action, or turn on/off the kitchen without affecting the living room. That same year we were gifted a Google home mini. After getting that setup I was able to easily integrate the Lutron system with it. I could now says "Hey Google, turn off all lights", or "set living room lights to 30 percent". It really was a game changer not having to jump up and run across the room just to adjust the lighting. It may sound like the next step in laziness, but I saw it as the next step in productivity, as I work from home and having to stop working for a simply task was a distraction I was happy to no longer be burdened with. Other times you just want to raise the lights to find something or to clean up a spill quickly or turn the lights off for a quick nap without having to move at all. We moved into a newer home in early 2022. After my previous experience with the Lutron products I installed the existing system in the new home and expanded it, making nearly all of the switches smart Lutron switches. I even have smart outlets outside over 100 feet away from the hub to turn on and off exterior lighting as the sun rises and sets. Adding new switches and outlets is a breeze. You just install them, select them in the mobile app and push a button to pair them to the hub. I have seen a lot of newcomers to the smart switch arena in the past three years, but most still have the same limitations as in the past, such the the neutral wire requirement. Even my newer home has some switches that lack neutral wires, so Lutron is still the best option. Lutron does of course also offer many switches that do work with neutral wires, such as where you only want on/off switching without the need to dim. For those switches you do wish to use as a dimmer, make sure the bulbs you use are compatible. Incandescent as dimmable. Most newer LED bulbs are NOT dimmable, so be sure to read the box to make sure they will work with your switch. This has been a solid and outstanding system with zero issues that I have used to run my homes for the past three years. Anyone with light switches will love this system as much as I have.

This is a legitimate Lutron Caseta product that functions exactly as described in the manuals. Not neutral required for the Caseta dimmer and wireless pico switches sync and operate with the Caseta dimmer sketches flawlessly. The hub syncs to the app with app controls, scenes, scheduling, and GPS proximity control. Basically 10/10. Although, I think the Caseta switches should come stock with the pre-programmed light level switch that the pico switches have. Available at double the price, so it's cheaper to use the pico switch for one touch lighting levels. Still, the product works very well.

Me gusto mucho este kit porque trae todo lo necesario para empezar, la instalación de los apagadores es como cualquier otra, y lo bueno es que no requiere un cable neutro extra a diferencia de la mayoría de los atenuadores inteligentes que están en el mercado, el bridge es muy simple, elegante y de bajo perfil, la configuración desde la app es de lo mas fácil. Me gusto lo fácil que es usar la app y que prácticamente no hay delay en su uso y lo que tardan en prender las luces, ademas que con la app también puedes vincular productos de sonos para crear escenas. Lo que mas me gusto es el hecho de poder controlar las luces desde cualquier lugar, es decir el bridge lutron te permite ver que luces están prendidas en tu casa sin necesidad de tener un hub adicional conectado a la nube. Yo lo utilizo con alexa (a pesar de que aun esta en ingles) y con homekit de apple y todo funciona perfecto, hasta el momento el sistema no me a fallado me encanto, lo recomiendo mucho.

These dimmers seem to work great. I've installed about 7 so far with a few types of regressed ceiling lights and wall sconces and they all dim smoothly. Pros: - Smooth on/off dimming. You can press and hold to change the brightness level, or tap, and it has a lot of levels between 0 and 100% so you don't get that "skipping" effect some dimmers have. - When the dimmer is off, there is a slight green glow to the brightness level indicator on the left side of the switch. It's very subtle, doesn't distract and helps you find it in the dark - Works with every type of light I've tested so far. "Dim to warm" ceiling and sconces light on and off smoothly over 1-2 seconds and look great. - Allows for wireless "3 way switches". This saved me a lot of electrical wiring work when I wanted two switches across an empty room to control the same lights. You can stick the wireless one anywhere, program it quickly and make it blend in with other switches. Cons: - This particular pack only has the round center "scene" button on the wireless switch. This may not be an issue to most, but if you press the regular "on" button, lights automatically go to the brightest setting, not to whatever level you had them at last time. The scene button can turn lights on just to 30% or whatever you set it to. If that's important to you, go buy the version with a scene button on all switches, wired and wireless.

Sin duda un gran sistema!!
