The Easiest & Most Reliable Smart Lighting Upgrade

From a Pro Installer: "As a licensed electrician and smart home installer with over a decade of experience, I've seen every kind of smart switch. The Lutron Caseta line, especially the no-neutral dimmer, is what I consistently recommend. Unlike other brands that frequently drop from Wi-Fi, Lutron's system is rock-solid. For homeowners who want a smart switch that just works, every time, this is the one to get."

Tired of smart home gadgets that are complicated to install and unreliable? The Lutron Caseta Smart Dimmer is the industry gold standard for a reason. It simplifies home lighting, starting with an installation so easy, it can be done in under 15 minutes. Its most celebrated feature is that it works without a neutral wire, a common barrier that prevents people in older homes from installing smart switches. Now, you can bring the convenience of smart dimming to any room, regardless of when your house was built.

Why 'No Neutral Needed' is a Game-Changer

Unlike many other smart switches on the market, the Lutron Caseta dimmer doesn't require complex rewiring. Here’s why that matters:

  1. Universal Compatibility: A vast number of U.S. homes, especially those built before the 1980s, do not have a neutral wire in the switch box. This dimmer overcomes that obstacle completely.
  2. Drastically Simplified Installation: With fewer wires to worry about, the installation process is safer and faster for both DIYers and professional electricians.
  3. Unmatched Reliability: The dimmer uses its own patented technology to work without a neutral, ensuring stable performance without flickering or buzzing, especially with modern LED bulbs.

Seamless Integration With Your Smart Home

When paired with the Lutron Smart Hub (sold separately), the Caseta dimmer becomes the centerpiece of your smart home. Control your lights from anywhere in the world using the Lutron app, or go hands-free with your favorite voice assistant. Caseta works flawlessly with:

  • Amazon Alexa
  • Google Assistant
  • Apple HomeKit & Siri
  • Ring
  • Sonos, and many more.

"How to Install" Guide

While we always recommend professional installation, here is a simplified overview of the process:

  • Step 1: Shut off power to the switch at your circuit breaker. This is the most important step.
  • Step 2: Remove the old switch from the wall box and disconnect its wires.
  • Step 3: Connect the two black wires from the Lutron dimmer to the two wires in your box. Connect the green ground wire.
  • Step 4: Gently push the new dimmer into the box and screw it in place.
  • Step 5: Attach a wallplate (sold separately), turn the power back on, and test your new dimmer!

Real User Reviews

★★★★★ Finally, a smart switch for my old house!

"My house was built in the 70s and has no neutral wires. I thought I was out of luck for smart switches until I found this. Installation took 15 minutes, it connected to my Lutron hub instantly, and I haven't had a single issue. Rock solid and worth every penny."

★★★★☆ Flawless System, Just Know You Need the Hub

"The switch works perfectly as a dimmer. It's high quality and feels great. Just be aware, you MUST have the Lutron Smart Hub to connect it to Alexa or the app. It can't connect directly to WiFi. It's not a big deal, but something to know before you buy. Once it's all set up, the system is flawless."

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do I absolutely need a neutral wire to install this dimmer?
No. This specific model (PD-6WCL) is designed to work in electrical boxes where a neutral wire is not present, which is common in many older homes.
Is the Lutron Smart Hub required to use this switch?
To use the smart features, such as app control, scheduling, and voice assistant integration (Alexa, Google, HomeKit), the Lutron Smart Hub (sold separately) is required. The switch will function as a standard manual dimmer without it.
What light bulbs work with this dimmer switch?
This dimmer is rated for up to 150 Watts of dimmable LED/CFL bulbs, or up to 600 Watts of incandescent or halogen bulbs. Always use bulbs marked as "dimmable".
Can I install this in a 3-way setup?
Yes. For a 3-way setup, you install this main dimmer in one location and then use a wireless Pico remote (sold separately) with a wall-mounting bracket in the other location.
Does this dimmer come with a wallplate?
No, this product is the dimmer switch itself. A standard Claro wallplate, or any other paddle-style wallplate, can be purchased separately.
