Frequently asked question
Is the bridge required to work with homekit? similar, i guess, to philips hue?

There is an alternative method for running a Linux server running Homebridge that can replace the bridges, but it's difficult to setup and requires either a Raspberry Pie or dedicated Linux box / virtual box.

Does it work with Comcast security?
Was told by Comcast/Xfinity that have to get the Pro version of the bridge to work with it.

I purchased the Pro version and it does integrate with the Home app for IOS and Android (I use both) but only thing you can do is to turn on/off/dim lights from the app. You CANNOT create rules to turn lights on/off at a certain time - have them turn on when motion or alarm - etc. You also CANNOT use the Comcast/Xfinity touchscreen or web app to turn on/off/dim lights. Only scheduling options you have is to use the Lutron app and so no option for having lights come on with alarms or motion etc. I like the Lutron dimmers because they work with LED bulbs - the Centralite/Comcast controllers work great and I have several but they do not work with LED bulbs. I use Centralite/Comcast controllers for lights I need to come on with alarms/motion/etc and use Lutron for lights I just want on/off at certain times.
Does it work with SmartThings
Yes, the Caseta Wireless system can work with SmartThings. The Caseta Smart Bridge will need to be installed and an account created in order for Caseta and SmartThings to integrate.

Useful
I bought this product to be able to control my dimming lamps with the wireless control. I was encouraged to purchase this item, taking into consideration that I could add it to my apple home, and I am very happy I bought this. I can control the lamps with the dimming control that it came with, on voice command, my phone, watch, apple home, google home. Amazing product.

Just a great product overall, incredibly reliable and just works really well.
Having tried many less expensive solutions for lighting automation I can tell you from experience this is simply the most reliable hands down. Other devices worked well for a while but then they needed to be unplugged and plugged back in to reset the device to get it back on line. The schedules that were setup didn’t work and the apps that kept crashing or just would take a long time from pressing the button to the light actually turning on. Lutron’s app is solid and the devices respond instantly. They are generally speaking more expensive but the old adage, you get what you pay rings true in this case.

Great starter package
Easy to set up. Work great. Excellent starter set because it includes 2 wall plugs and the bridge, which is like a router for the lights. Next I’ll get an electrician to add in-wall switches for the outside porch lights, plus buy a few more wall plugs, and I’ll be set to have my whole house on easy to manage light timers. The smartphone interface is simple as well. So glad I got these!

Support Needed
I had to call Lutron support to set it up. A bit complicated but works.

Expensive but high quality.
Works great with HomeKit and Alexa integration. Switches and other accessories cost more but the quality is definitely there and lutron has been around a long time so chances of this hub losing support is fairly low.
As for the lamp outlet, it works well and it’s nice that it has 2 outlets.04/01/2022Verified Purchase -
Does what it says on the tin, that's worth four stars alone.
Does what it is supposed to: Works with HomeKit (after a lot of avoidable software frustration if they made an effort in onboarding), dims, has remote.
Does not come paired (!!!) for the insane nearly $100 it costs. This leads to an agonizing time getting the hub and dimmer and control paired in their ****y software that assumes this is the first and only device on your network and in HomeKit. Awful and hard to use, and I’m a software engineer who could have eventually built it myself, I can’t imagine anyone else suffering through it.
I also resent the hub. An unnecessary dongle on my network and extra mouth to feed.
But there are scant (read: two) HomeKit dimmers in the world. And it works.04/01/2022Verified Purchase
