About
Lutron Caseta has earned its reputation as the most reliable smart dimmer on the market through 10+ years of near-zero failure rates and compatibility with virtually every dimmable bulb type — LED, CFL, incandescent, and halogen — without flickering or buzzing. The Diva face plate brings that system into a contemporary rocker-style design that matches most modern wall plates. The Starter Kit includes the dimmer, a wireless Pico remote, and the SmartBridge — Lutron's hub that connects your dimmers to Wi-Fi without requiring a neutral wire in the switch box. This is the critical differentiator: most smart switches require a neutral wire that older homes often do not have. Caseta works in those 3-wire systems that would leave competitors' hardware non-functional. The Pico remote pairs via RF signal — local control works with zero internet or hub needed — so it keeps working through Wi-Fi outages. Works with Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit, and SmartThings.
