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

I went from X10 to Lutron light controls and the Lutron works great and is much more dependable, but my only negative is it takes 18 Pico remotes to control 6 different sets of lights between 2 rooms that only took 3 with the X10 remotes. They need to make a remote that can control multiple separate light circuits. Overall I am very happy with these.

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.

These little pico remotes are a great addition to your Lutron switch setup. You can stick the pico switch on the wall as another lite switch or put it beside your bed or chair. You need to install the Lutron home starter kit on you home network and down load the Lutron app to your phone or ipad first for setup of the devices.

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.

This is a replacement for one the dog chewed on. Works great and no problem to pair it with our existing Lutron Maestro MRF2-6CL wall dimmer.

Purchased this with

Saw this and the companion Caseta switch on Ask This Old House, and decided it would solve a problem I had with a remote light switch in my foyer. Now I can just flick the Pico remote to turn it on and off, and dim. I installed the matching App on my iPhone, and set the light to turn on at dusk, and off about bedtime. Have not tried it with Alexa.

I love Lutron Caseta because you can easily add a light switch to a wall without having to connect any wires. You add the remotes and mount them in a wall with a wall plate and voila.

I have over half my house set up with wireless (hard wired) transmitter switches, and mounted these picos for all the other switches. Have a 3 back pedestal on my kitchen island and Alexa with voice controls. couldnt be happier. been using these for years and years. havent had any battery issues or otherwise. Great product, and a reputable industry leading company. **Disclosure, these are JUST the remotes, so you still have to have Lutron compatible devices for these to control. (Ie; wired Maestro wireless wall switch, wired PowPak, lutron outlet connector. AND if you want the Alexa voice control, you will need to get the Lutron Caseta wireless hub that ties in with your home wifi)

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.
