Reddit mentions of Lutron P-BDG-PKG1W Caseta Wireless Dimmer Kit with Smart Bridge, White

This system is great.

We have a Logitech Harmony hub based remote and I've used Caseta switches to control the living room lighting, ceiling fans, and the fireplace.

The Lutron Caseta switches don't require a neutral. They are Alexa, Harmony Hub, and Apple HomeKit compatible. They also work with IFTTT. They do have their own hub but they are rock solid. They are by far the most reliable bit of smart home tech that I have (even more so than Hue). Pricey but worth it. They are more buttons than switches but I like the way they look.

The standard dimmer includes a remote that can easily replace a three-way switch. They are super versatile (LED, CFL, or incandescent) and work with Lutrons really expensive blinds if you have that kind of money :)

The cheapest way is to purchase a Caseta starter kit. It'll include a dimmer for a light and bridge. The bridge adds easily to HK. It was one of the first (and IMHO one of the best) HK integrations.

I love a good Home Depot run as much as the next, but also, make sure you aren't getting price-gouged: on Amazon. And you are very welcome. I like to help.

Put in any light fixture and bulbs you want and use a Lutron Caseta in wall dimmer switch. First light switch is about 100 bucks,

This includes the Smart hub needed to make it internet accessible.
Each additional switch thereafter is around 50$.

Lutron Caseta is not only compatible with alexa, ("alexa turn my living room to 50%" "alexa turn off my bed room" "alexa turn my living room to 10%" etc.) it is also fully homekit enabled. ("Hey siri, set my chamber to 2%" ) and utilizing the home app on your iDevice, you can set up schedules and such, for example my bedroom light turns on to 10% 30min before my alarm, and up to 50% 5 minutes before my alarm. This really helps me wake up on time.

Lutron caseta work great. worth the money

Look into the Lutron Caseta, you can control the lights with the echo.

Lutron has a good option that is cheaper: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JJY0S4G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_OUnMyb04ZHKMG

The above link doesn't include their hub, but it's not necessary if you don't care about using their app to control the lights or Alexa/Homekit support. If you are interested though or think you might add more Lutron switches eventually, they do have a starter kit: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MXCRAX8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_VYnMybG2VHBAA

If you don't mind the using a dimmer instead of the a switch, you can find the dimmer/hub bundle for not that much more.

I'm not too familiar with 0-10v systems so I read up a bit. It appears that you do need a low voltage traveler wire to feed all the way to the switch. I don't believe the one I linked will work as your fixtures are still designed to work on 120vAC and that PWM dimmer is low voltage DC only.

Is this in your home or a garage i.e. - does it need to be aesthetically pleasing? My shop lights are simply plugged in to a standard two outlet receptacle. You could cut in a 4 outlet receptacle and wire one of the dimmer switches next to the main outlet at the beginning of the circuit. The switch on the wall would then control the power going to that switch, but you'd be able to set the level of brightness and then not touch it.

Another option (and I don't know if this is feasible or even code compliant) is to use the neutral wire as the control wire. The specs on that Lutron state that no neutral wire is required for operation. Just so long as you labeled it properly (similar to how the neutral can be used as load in certain situations) I don't see why you couldn't run it from your lights to the switch as the 10v control wire. I only know enough about this to be dangerous though so I'm sure someone will downvote or correct as necessary. Please don't do this without confirmation from the manufacturer/electrician.

Edit: I think this controller from Lutron might be just the ticket. Per the manual you can control it with any number of their Pico switches and it does all of the dimming wirelessly via RF. You can also connect it to a wall switch, a handheld switch, etc., and even control it via the Amazon Echo if you want. Just did a little extra reading though and apparently you need their hub to control the wireless connection. Once you have that, though, you can add any number of switches (I think to an extent) to any number of circuits and even integrate your lights with Smartthings, Vera, HomeSeer, or one of the supported automation hubs. Granted, you're looking at $100 for the hub/switch starter kit and another $80 for the 0-10v, but your'e also eliminating the hassle of wiring (aside from wiring the control wire from the ballast to the Lutron controller) and setting yourself up for automation, if that's something you're into. We have our under cabinet lights and a couple other things hooked to a SmartThings hub and the Echo and it's pretty convenient.

The picture you have there shows a fixture versus a standard consumer replaceable bulb. It also shows a light that is hardwired into the wall, I am assuming you turn this light on and off using a switch. So versus the hue model of replacing the bulb, you wire in a new switch.

It requires very basic home DIY skills namely:

• ability to identify and turn off circuit breakers
  
• comfort some some very simple wiring
  
• comfort with google + youtube + here if troubles arise

This will do exactly what you want.

Thank you so much for your advice. Would you guess that this works with the LED lights I have in the link in the OP? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MXCRAX8/ref=psdc_507840_t1_B00XPW67ZM#

This one doesn't require neutral either:

If you don't need the pedestals for the pico remotes, I think you're better off buying these 2 bundles separate.
