Excellent with Lutron's Smart Bridge
We recently picked up a Logitech Home Control remote, and decided to try out some of these Caseta dimmers since they're compatible with the Logitech remotes.Initially I just got one of these switch/remote combos; but, we liked it so much that we ended up replacing most of the switches downstairs.Interestingly enough, it looks like there have been at least 2 or 3 revisions of these switches - and Lutron seems to be fixing some of the usability issues.For example, the wall switch itself is completely flat; so, it takes some practice to turn it on in the dark. The newer revision has small 'nubs' on the switch (kind of like braille bumps) so it's easier to find the correct button in the dark.The Pico remote includes a large button in the middle of the switch that's very convenient - and I'm not sure why the wall switches don't have that same feature since it makes the remote a lot more usable in the dark...Aside from some minor revision differences, here are the things we like about these:1) The dimmers work perfectly with our G7 LED bulbs. The dimming range is excellent, and the switches are adjustable so you can actually set the minimum and maximum dimmer setting to match your bulbs.2) The Pico remote will pair with one switch; but, if you use it with the Lutron Smart Bridge, you can actually pair a single Pico remote with as many switches as you want. That makes it possible to do some cool things - like turning off all the lights downstairs with a wall-mounted Pico remote.3) Once again, when paired with the Lutron Smart Bridge, it's possible to turn lights on and off on a schedule - and the schedule can even be based on the current sunrise and sunset times. This is one of the coolest features of these switches once you start messing around with it!4) These can be controlled either individually or in groups using the Logitech Home Control remote.5) Lutron has a very easy to understand video on their website that shows how to wire these into a 3-way switch configuration. In essence, you just remove one of the switches and replace it with the Pico remote - while the wired switch ends up working as a standard switch. The wiring only takes a few minutes and it works perfectly. I love that up always equals 'on', unlike a standard 3-way switch configuration - and the battery life on the Pico remote is supposed to be 10 years.6) These dimmers look great.7) The install process was easy, and the instructions and videos that Lutron provides are some of the best I've seen.Even though we like them enough to replace most of switches in our downstairs, I do have some complaints:1) The completely flat face of the switch takes some getting used to - as I already mentioned. The revision with the small nubs does help with this, so I wish all of the ones we got had that feature. (I actually wish the switch was the same as the Pico Remote with the raised button in the center...)2) If you want to mount the Pico remote in a 3-way configuration (which most buyers of this kit probably do), then you'll need to pick up the Pico Wallplate Bracket as well. Lutron put quite a bit of thought into this package - and I wish they had included that bracket.I'm not trying to overstate the usability issues. I reality, it's pretty quick to adjust - but just be aware that it does take some adjustment.If you're just looking for a dimmer that will work with LED and CFL lights, then there are less expensive options out there that work just as well. If, on the other hand, you're looking to combine this with either the Lutron Smart Bridge or the Logitech Home Control remote, then this is part of an excellent system!I would definitely recommend trying these out.

Bye Bye Traditional Light Switchs, Bye Bye
The media could not be loaded. I installed these switches in all of my bedrooms. These are a game changer. They are somewhat easy to install, you just plug and play, I took these from my old house when I moved into my new house. This is one of the few Lutron switches that does not require a neutral wire, which is very nice and makes installing them very easy. The directions are simple and easy to follow. If you are putting this switch on a traditional ceiling fan with the pull cord and two separate switches, I highly suggest get their fan switch as well.If you are going from traditional light switches to this one, you may also want to consider getting a new cover plate. Traditional switches uses a toggle cover plate and this one uses a rocker cover plate. If you are a person irritated by the slightest light, just be aware that the switch displays very dim green LED lights when the light is off (barely visible at night with lights off) and a much brighter one when the light is on, but hey the lights are on at that point, so what does it matter how bright the LED is anyways.This switch integrates seamlessly with Alexa (Lutron skill) and can also be controlled by a remote. It takes a bit to learn the commands to use Alexa. You need to know the name of the light you are trying to control such as "Master Bedroom Light" and then the percent you desire the light's intensity to be such as "80%"I really like these switches. They are awesome, they are amazing. I really cannot envision a world where I would not have them. Theses devices are the highlight of my smart home and I highly recommend them.

Not the cheapest smart light switch but they work great and look nice
I have used a number of different smart light switches and these are my favorite. They are the most reliable. I have been using them since they came out about 10 years ago and have rarely had any issues. They work great with all types of bulbs. They look nice. Easy to install, if they fit in the box (most of my boxes are small metal ones that have nails through them so there isn't much room or tucking the wire in nicely so i have to replace the box usually). Range is not as far as Wi-Fi, but in my 2600 sq-ft home it has not been an issue. Yeah you need a hub, but if that is what it takes to make them this reliable, it's well worth it. They are a bit pricey, but they work great. The App is easy to use. It doesn't have a ton of features, but it integrates easily with Alexa, Google/Nest and IFTTT. I guess it works well with Apple Home as well. These are handy if don't have a neutral, most other smart switches need a neutral or work off Bluetooth and the range on most of them us pretty poor and they also require an interface module.

Looks Modern, Works Perfectly
This dimmer is slick and smooth. Doesn’t need a neutral wire, which saved me a lot of hassle. I paired it with a Pico and now it feels like the future

Great product
What a wonderful solution to resolve problems with existing 3-way switches. A little too pricey but works amazingly well. Highly recommended if you want to avoid pay a lot for an electrician.

High quality; odd button geometry.
These smart dimmers are a bit pricey, and the odd angled, triangular buttons are probably one of the worst designs I've seen in these types of switches (IMO), but the app is eminatitly configurable and everything otherwise works perfectly. Install was super easy and Lutron includes wire nuts and extra screws. The switches themselves seem very high quality.
