Expert Insights
"As a Professional Smart Home Integrator and certified electrician, Lutron Caseta is the only wireless system I install and guarantee. The reason is simple: it's flawlessly reliable. But the secret weapon of the Caseta system is this specific switch, the **PD-5ANS**. Its ability to work **without a neutral wire** is a game-changer for retrofitting older homes, saving my clients time and money on complex rewiring. It's not a dimmer; it's a true switch. That makes it the correct and safe choice for motor loads like **ceiling fans and bathroom exhausts**, which can be damaged by dimmers. It's the most versatile and problem-solving device in the entire Caseta lineup."
Beyond the Light Bulb
This is the workhorse of the Caseta family. While smart dimmers get all the attention, they can't be used with everything. The Caseta Smart Switch is specifically designed to provide simple on/off control to the devices a dimmer can't handle. Use it to schedule your bathroom exhaust fan, control your ceiling fan speed from your phone, or add smart control to outdoor or landscape lighting. When paired with a Lutron Smart Hub (sold separately), you unlock a world of possibilities, from voice control with Alexa to advanced home automation scenes.
Installation Advisory
- Turn off power at the circuit breaker before beginning work.
- Remove the existing switch and identify the wires.
- Connect the Lutron Caseta switch according to the included instructions (typically just two wires).
- Mount the switch in the wall box, attach a Caseta wallplate (sold separately), and restore power.
- Safety First: Installation requires handling electrical wiring. If you are not comfortable, please hire a qualified electrician.
