If you’re looking to make your home smarter without swapping out all your bulbs, Lutron Caséta switches are a great solution. Instead of relying on smart bulbs (which often go dark when the wall switch is off), Caséta lets you keep your existing lighting fixtures and adds control at the switch or dimmer itself. The result? More reliable control, fewer weak or non-compatible bulbs, and better integration with a full smart home system. 

What You Need to Get Started

To use Caséta switches effectively, you’ll want: A Caséta Smart Hub (also called “Smart Bridge” or “Smart Bridge PRO”) so your switches can communicate reliably and integrate with other smart home devices. At least one Caséta dimmer or switch to begin with. You can add the whole house or just one switch that you can control from anywhere.
