TLDR Review: Lutron Caseta Claro Smart Switch
Verdict
This is the accessory switch you want if you're building out a 3-way or multi-room Lutron setup, *especially* in an older home without neutral wires in the switch boxes. The RF reliability and premium quality earn the price tag, plus Lutron's support is genuinely impressive. Just plan for the hub, compatible dimmable bulbs, and a primary Diva or Claro switch as your starting point—but once that's done, expect zero headaches and consistent, reliable lighting control throughout your home.
- Top pro:
- No neutral wire required—absolute game-changer for older homes looking to go smart
- Top con:
- Requires a hub—you can't just plug this in and go rogue
