1. 5/5Outstanding!

   I replaced my rather long in the tooth 40 year old X-10 system with the Lutron Caseta system six months ago. The Caseta system is similar to the X-10 system in that it is simple and straightforward. I use it to control six outdoor lights and eight indoor lights that dim as well as turn on and off on a schedule. I really like how well the Caseta system controls the five plug-in dimmers in my living room and dining room seamlessly, almost as if they were on one single hardwired dimmer circuit. The Caseta system is VERY easy to install and VERY easy to program. I really like the app that allows me to program and control each device from my phone, my iPad and my computer. I don’t like and I don’t need overly complicated systems that can do things that I have no interest in doing just because I can. The Caseta Pro bridge can provide that level of integration if you must, but I just enjoy the simplicity of this system as it is. My old X-10 system was getting to be unreliable and unpredictable, largely due to the old power line communication path that it used. The ever increasing quantity of switching power supplies in our homes for cell phon chargers and every other small electrical device creates so much noise on the power line that the X-10 system just couldn’t penetrate reliably. The Caseta system uses a true RF wireless communication path that has proven to be VERY reliable and flawless. If there is one thing that I would really like Lutron to add to the Caseta system it would be a wall receptacle. The lack of one was not a big problem for me though. If I had to do the upgrade from X-10 all over again, I would do exactly the same thing with the Lutron Caseta product line.

2. 5/5If Apple Watch troubles Update app

   EDIT: their last update when installed fixed the issue :) I love the Lutron system, so reliable, besides this temporary Watch issue, never any issues. The Lutron app was working on my Apple Watch for half a year perfectly. Now for the past month I get this error “Please use the Lutron app on your phone to configure this home for your Zappel Watch.” So I go to the app and the Watch is already enabled under settings. There is nothing else to “configure “ besides turning the slider to on/off and which scenes/devices are enabled. To troubleshoot I go to the Apple Watch app, and remove Lutron as an app installed on the phone. Then I install Lutron back to the phone, and voila! It works again. But it only works one time. The next time I try to use Lutron app on the Watch, I get the same error again. I’ve been thru this cycle 4-5 times now. Please help fix the Watch app issue and I’m happy to turn this review back to 5 stars! I use the Watch app daily it’s more convenient than the phone app.

3. 4/5Caseta switches are great. App User interface could be improved

   I’ve been a long time user of the Caseta dimmer switches and think that they’re great. Very reliable and easy to install as they’re one of the only switches that don’t require a neutral wire. The little chiclet remotes are are a great way to control the lights, and I also make use of the geofencing in the app. The Sonos integration is a nice little touch too. The one thing that developers could do to improve the app would be to change the interface so that touching the appropriate icon would turn the light on or off, and a long hold or firm touch of the ‘button’ would bring up the slider for the dimming function. This is how Wink controls lights. As it is currently the app requires too many taps on the screen just to turn a light on or off- tap to expand the room list, tap the light to bring up the dimming slider, then tap or hold a button to dim or turn on and off. That’s overly involved. Also it was easy for me to name and control lights with Alexa when doing so through Wink. Not so much with the Lutron app. Users should be given more ability to control naming of lights, and use of icons rather than the somewhat rigid and limited selection within the app.

4. 4/5Nonexistent support

   This app used to be awesome but instead making it even better it started deteriorating and it takes forever to sync devices and their status. Technical support doesn’t exist, neither for the app nor for the system, and all you can do is call general Lutron support and hope to reach someone knowledgeable about exact issue you’re trying to solve. While you might get lucky with the system good luck if you have any issues with the app. Better not waste time and accept you invested a lot of money into a great system but because it’s not a true enterprise level like Ra3 or Homeworks you’re practically on your own :( Why the app doesn’t notify me about available firmware for my shades? I only noticed it accidentally after going into settings looking for something else and who knows for how long new FW was available! Edit: I provided in depth details with a detailed video and sent them to the given email address, but received nothing - no thank you for pro bono QA, not even lame autoresponder to someone who invested >$40k into Lutron Ra2 Select and is stuck to this app. Apparently Lutron considers this as a non-enterprise market but it’s neither DIY so you’re on your own :(

5. 5/5Take it from a pro.

   Lutron is hands down the industry leader of LED lighting and lighting control tech. They also manufacture state of the art automated window treatments with a wide selection of materials and applications. The entire company top to bottom is amazing! If your electrician is using anything other than Lutron for lighting control they're subpar. Call someone who uses Lutron. Caseta is a wonderful entry level automation product. Sold at most major retailers. With the Caseta bridge it opens a door to a wide array of home integration capabilities. Along with lighting scenes and time clocks you can integrate climate control, shades and even Sonos audio using a Lutron Audio Pico Remote. I have one. It’s awesome! Great for the DIY guy. Though I do recommend calling a licensed pro cause electricity can kill you. ✌️😉
