Lutron Pico Remote for Caseta Wireless Smart Dimmer and Plug-In Lamp Dimmer with Favorite Setting, PJ2-3BRL-GBL-L01, Black

I'm using it with a Wink hub and a Lutron Caseta wall dimmer switch. The disadvantage of these products is that they use a proprietary wireless system (rather than the Z-Wave standard). (Wave or Zigbee, for example). That is an advantage, as they will work with or without a home automation system (or after you sell and take your home automation hub with you). If you do use this with a Wink, pair the Pico remote through Wink rather than following Lutron's instructions. br>br>This remote can be used on a wall or in a box where a 3 or 4 way slave switch used to be (or even where the 3 or 4 way slave switch was). They sell a piece of plastic for mounting in a box separately, which should really be included in the remote package. Dealing with existing wiring is fairly simple if you install it in a box. With the exception of any common wire (unlikely) or a ground, you simply connect all the wires with a large wire nut. However, I would recommend photographing the existing switch wiring and labeling the wires as needed so that you can easily reverse the process if the Lutron switch is removed. The remote is actually a little nicer than the wireless switch I paired it with because the middle button can be set to turn on to a remembered brightness level, whereas the on button stays full bright. Aside from that, this device performs similarly to a wired slave switch. If the distance isn't too great, that is. br>br>In terms of distance, it would be the distance to the Wink hub for use with a Wink system. It's the distance to the wired switch if you don't have a hub. I didn't test the distance, but I've had no problems with them being on a different floor than my hub; however, they're practically right below the hub, so the distance isn't great. br>br>In any case, I'm not a fan of proprietary systems in general, but in this case, they do serve a purpose.

Compatible with Apple HomeKit (when used in conjunction with the Lutron Router). The Lutron Caseta switches will be controlled by this device. The first three switches, from left to right, are various types of luton switches, and the item on the right is one of these remotes. It's used to add a third control point for the Living Room light without having to run any additional wires. In my hallway, I have a second unit. When I'm walking toward my bedroom and notice the yard lights are still on, I can press the button, which turns off all six yard lights. When compared to the $250 electricians charge for adding a regular switch, the price is low for the added convenience of controls where you need them.

br>br>It *just works*; everything is of high quality, the controllers can be mounted on the wall or on nice pedestals, the dimming is smooth, and the whole thing feels like luxury rather than a fiddly, broken techno gadget. It's quick and has a long range (they say 30 feet, but it's worked flawlessly for me over hundreds of feet). br>br>This is their Pico remote, which works with other Lutron Caseta products (dimmers, etc. ). I chose the black model, which is a striking jet black that can be used to differentiate one remote from another. (I wish they came in a wider range of colors. ).

The button press on the Pico remote has a lot of travel, so you can tell when it's pressed. Yes, the Pico lacks the "click" of a paddle switch, but it is definitely tactile, and you can tell when you've pressed it. br>br>The Pico has a much faster response time. In Hubitat, I noticed that the Pico remotes come with two different drivers: Lutron Pico or Lutron Fast Pico are two different names for the same thing. The latter gives you all ten button presses (the standard five plus five more with each button in a held state). However, because the remote must determine whether you held the button or not, it is a little slower to respond. The "fast" driver enters the picture at this point. It only responds to 5 button presses, so it's quick. For the time being, I've relied on the "fast" driver. br>br>Because the Pico has extremely strong magnets and a flat backside, it fits flush with my Mitzvah light cover. I didn't even have to use super glue to keep the Remote firmly attached to the Mitzvah. I also used double-sided tape just in case, but I don't believe it was necessary. br>br>The Pico remotes are fantastic, and I'm glad I spent $150 on the SmartBridge Pro because we'll be able to get the Lutron Caseta dimmers at our next home! I would strongly advise anyone looking for a quick, mountable, and tactile solution to use this product.

Because I had a light switch that was difficult to reach, I purchased a caseta along with this pico control. Our couch is blocking access to the switch due to the room's layout. I put the caseta in place of the old switch and mounted the pico switch on the opposite side of the room to make it work as a three-way switch. It performs admirably. We can now switch on the lights from a more convenient location in the room. Even better, I bought the mount to go with the existing switches, and it looks like it's always been there.
