Lutron Pico Smart Remote Control for Caséta Smart Dimmer Switch | PJ2-3BRL-GBL-L01 | Black

Lutron has come up with a great way to deal with 3,4,5 way switches and converting your house to wifi switches. If you understand this dilemma, then this product is the one to help you get there. When coupled with the wall plate bracket this fits into, you can add this in place of one of the switches in the system and it looks and works just as if it was a normal light switch. Example, for a 4 way system, get two of these and two of the mounting brackets, and one actual lutron caseta dimmer. Install the dimmer in place of one 4 way switch and install the remotes in place of the other two switches in the same system. Sync the remotes with that dimmer and your done. Looks like normal switches! One hint, if you like the idea of hitting a button and the dimmer go to a preferred setting, then mount one of these remotes in the most commonly used switch location. The actual dimmer switch doesnt have that function, but the remotes do. We use it all the time and didnt think we would. Great product, great solution to the multi switch wifi conversion problems.

I bought this because I was putting a foyer light (3 way switch) on the Caseta switches so that I could set it to go on based on sunset. You have to eliminate the second switch, so I got this remote to perform the same function. Set it up once, and never had to think about it again. Use the switch daily and no issues with the connection. And the instructions were easy to understand (eliminating the second switch in y circuit). Im no electrician, but this is easily do-able for a DIYer. According to the instructions, the battery lasts for years, so no concern there. Great product. Had it in use for about 8 months.

for the remote that the dog chewed on. It still works, but the top piece on the front is chewed up pretty bad. He is a bad little dog. Right now, he is in the other dogs crate playing with his squeaky elephant. The dog waits until we go to bed to grab things off the end tables (hubbys side mostly) and during the day, he likes to hop on the bed and walk over to my nightstand and try to grab anything he can, which is how he got the remote that is being replaced. The remote works well and you are able to dim it and then also automatically have it shut off gradually with the bottom button.

I bought the original wall switch and remote as a package at Lowes, but needed a second remote. Now my wife and I each have a remote on our respective nightstands. These little remotes work great. The center preset button is a nice feature. It was easy to sync each remote to the wall switch and easier still for each of us to also sync our own desired preset lighting level. Have other Lutron products. Quality made. I havent tried the Alexa integration, so didnt rate it. As one of us falls asleep before the other, better to just use the remote to cut off the light, rather than yelling to Alexa to cut it off.

I am using this in conjunction with a Lutron Caseta wall dimmer switch and a Wink hub. The downside to these products is that they have a proprietary wireless system (not Z-wave or Zigbee). That though is also an advantage because they will work with or without a home automation system in operation (or after you sell and take your home automation hub with you). It you do use this with a Wink though, pair the Pico remote through Wink, not using the directions provided by Lutron. You can use this remote anywhere on a wall or just loose, or in a box where a 3 or 4 way slave switch used to reside (or actually even where the 3 or 4 way switch resided). They sell a separate piece of plastic for mounting in a box, which really should be included in the package for the remote. If you do install it in a box, dealing with the existing wiring is pretty simple--you just connect all the wires together with a large wire nut (except any common wire (unlikely) or a ground). I would suggest though taking a picture of the existing switch wiring, and tag the wires as necessary so that you can easily reverse the process if you remove the Lutron switch. As to the remote, it is actually a bit nicer than the wireless switch I paired it with because the middle button can be set to turn on to a remembered brightness level, where the on button remains full bright. Other than that, this product works as well as any wired slave switch--assuming distance is not too great. As to distance, for use with a Wink system it would be distance to the Wink hub. For use without a hub it would be distance to the wired switch. I did not test out distance, but I have not had any issues with them being on a different floor than my hub, but they are virtually right below the hub, so the distance is not great. Anyway, I generally do not like proprietary systems, but here it actually does provide some benefit.

I needed a replacement for my pool light remote and this is item was an exact match. No problem with setup, worked the first try. Happy with this item.

Swap your ceiling light switch out for a smart switch, add this remote. Voila, youre in the 21st century.

Love them.

Easy to set up. Works like a charm. Lutron is top notch

Ive worked in lighting design and installation in high-end residential and commercial applications in a very pricey Colorado Ski town. This solution is fantastic. Runs dimmable lighting systems from ANYWHERE without having to run wire!! Fantastic. Lutron is expensive, but you cant get better.
