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

Love them.

Ive run caseta switches in 3 homes now. You cant get a better switch, period. The integration with Alexa is smooth and easy. The pico switch is such a great tool, you can simple add a switch where ever you want without any hard wiring. Easy to install and set-up. Truly a unique product.

Great remote! Its very easy to add this dimmer switch to any of your Caseta wireless controlled lights. The center button is a favorite setting which you can set to instantly turn the lights to your preferred setting. If you have a light that is controlled by two switches you will need one of these remotes to replace the second switch. IE: one switch will be a Caseta hard-wired switch and the second one will be one of these remotes (if you are replacing a wall switch with a remote dont forget to buy the Caseta wall plate to seamlessly complete your install.) Or if you just want to add, say a switch up stairs to control lights down stairs, Caseta will let you add as many switches to control one set of lights as you want. Caseta wireless is hands down a superior home automation product. They are an early adopter to home automation and have been making major developments in this field for years. Caseta Wireless is constantly improving their home automation platform, sending out updates and adding new products to their list of controllable devices. You will not be disappointing when you buy this system.

Works great. The only way to turn on the light to preset dimmer level. Regular Caseta wall switch really wont do that (???). Pricey for a small remote.

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

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.

We now have about a dozen of these installed. What I like about raised button feature is the ability to preset the desired light level. It is also nice since no wall cutting is required when installing this as a remote switch. It might not be up to code, but the main switch can be basically anyplace in the building (within range) and these remotes can operate the associated lights.

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

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.

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.
