Camelcamelcamel says otherwise. The 2 pack is usually $160 on Amazon, just like Home Depot.

Here’s a set of two dimmer switches, hub and remotes. No neutral wire required for these so couldn’t be easier to fit

And here’s just the hub and a basic switch. You do need a neutral for the switch

It’s not cheap to get started for sure (mainly due to that bridge) but Caseta, apart from HomeBridge, has been my most solid HomeKit device. The bridge never requires a restart in my experience. I honestly wish I hadn’t invested so much in Hue before I used this.

Probably the best $40 home improvement I've made so far! I have a Lutron Maestro LED Dimmer switch with motion sensor on my kitchen lights. It senses when I enter my main doors so if my hands are full of groceries the lights come on automatically. I frequently enter and exit my kitchen area and it feels great to not have to walk to where the switch is located every time. YMMV. You can program the dimmer level, sensitivity, and timer settings depending on the room. It always works like a normal switch so no loss in functionality. It's 100% reliable even my dog trips the sensor. I've had a great experience with the 1 Lutron I have. I just picked up a Lutron Smart Lighting kit but I have a feeling the dumb occupancy sensor is going to end up better overall at 1/2 the cost.

The smart hub is what gives you HomeKit compatibility. Actually I ordered almost the same as the first kit you linked (two switches, two remotes, one hub, except mine came without the remote pedestals and was a bit cheaper) and what they sent me was two separate packages-one had one switch, one remote and the hub, and the other was just a separate package, with the switch and remote, and I believe your second link is what they sent me.

I am going to guess you will get the same one package with the hub, switch and remote, one package with one switch and remote, and one package with two pedestals for the remotes-just a guess :D

It is my understanding that all of the Caseta switches can be seen under HomeKit with the required Caseta Hub.

I think it's sold out.

​

EDIT: Looks like it's back!

Do you know if the inwall, hardwired dimemrs in this kit https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M3XJUAD/, will also work like the remotes?

u/MaxTE7 · 1 pointr/homeautomation

My recommendation would be to have a normal switch in A and disconnect all the other switches and wires(you can probably just leave them cold in the wall) and then use pico remotes in the other two locations. They're great because they can screw in right into a standard cover plate. And be placed anywhere since they're battery operated. Sadly they only work with other lutron switches even through a third party hub like a wink hub so you'd have to replace your leviton switch with a lutron one.
Also the dimmable Lutrons don't require a neutral as they basically keep the circuit open just a tiny bit so the can stay powered(think powerdraw of like miliamps) but not enough for the bulbs to turn on.

You can buy them separately if you already have existing ecosystem or you can get this kit:

Thanks, yes it does. What model do you have though? This starter pack doesn't use a neutral and from what the reviews say it can be very buzzy with some lights. Also says it doesn't resume the last state dim level.

u/dreamsryche05 · 1 pointr/smarthome

Can you explain the difference between the Lutron hub and the Lutron PRO hub? would I need the PRO hub to integrate with Smartthings or can I just go with the 3way smart switch Lutron Caseta 3-Way dimmer kit
