Introducing the Diva smart dimmer switch for Caseta smart lighting. Lutron's #1 dimmer is now smart and works with your existing Caseta products. Match existing paddle-style dimmer switches in your home with the same elegant, recognized aesthetic, updated on both the dimmer and the Pico paddle remote. With the Pico paddle remote, add an additional point of control wirelessly, without needing a hub or password. Add a Caseta smart hub later to unlock advanced features such as scenes, scheduling, app control, and connectivity to Alexa, Apple Home, Google Home, Ring, Sonos, and more. Mounting the Pico remote to the wall with the included Pico wallplate bracket makes the Pico remote look and feel like a new switch, without cutting holes and pulling wire normally required for installation. The soft glow light bar on the dimmer provides easy and precise control from the wall, and the preset function allows you to use either the dimmer or the Pico paddle remote to turn your lights on to your preset slider level. Unlike other smart controls, the Diva smart dimmer switch works with existing wiring, in any home, of any age, as it does not require a neutral wire. Kit includes (1) Diva smart dimmer switch, (1) Pico paddle remote, (1) Pico wallplate bracket, and (1) Claro 1-gang wallplate. Dimmer works with 150W LED bulbs and 600W incandescent bulbs.
