make sure its on the approved led list for caseta OR make sure you meet the minimum load requirements in watts. Ok 1) its best to verify the led is dimmable and that if it is. Go here it has way more clear information on caseta products Assuming the dimmer there would result in flicker. 2 of them are controlling single 40 watt equivalent night stand lights and they work great without issue. Lastly, we have a few Caseta on/off switches with paired 2-button PICOs.
I think they can be set to on/off mode instead of as a dimmer but that was not the use case that we wanted. I did have flickering issues when they were connected to a single guessing 40 or 60 watt equivalent LED. Lastly, I have a couple of floor lamp switches on order and have played with one in the past. I would say we like the additional brightness and these are all on dimmers so you still have control but you might need the neutral style switch if you are going with a small load. Our solution was to replace the bulbs with 75 watt equivalent LEDs which completely solved the issue. The issue was instantly apparent and our electrician knew exactly what was happening. We have all the two wire dimmers and they have worked without issue but we did have a 3 lamp pendant that had 3圆0 watt equivalent bulbs and they didn't present a big enough load on the system to keep them lamps from flickering.
The comment from the poster about buying the more expensive neutral wire dimmer should be kept in mind. (I am not an electrician, nor have I ever installed one of these) but it should be easy to complete. Replacing a traditional 3-way+ circuit requires capping off the traveler and wires at the non-dimmer location. Picos all over the place and I am very happy with how they work. We ~20 in-wall dimmers and 2-3 in-wall switches. I'm also super happy if someone tells me where to RTFM (googling only gets me to "mentions" of what people should have used, but nothing resembling official sources).īonus question: I've heard tell of a "Pro Bridge" though it's not on the official website - what's the difference between that and the regular bridge?Īgree with the post. My best guess is this is what the "In-Wall Smart Dimmer Switch for ELV+ Lighting" is for.Īny guidance is really appreciated. Kitchen cabinet lights - current switch is ganged together with (1) above.My best guess for what I would do is to use the "Smart Switch for Light or Fan Control". Switches for electrical outlets (I can plug a lamp into these and the switch acts as on/off for the lamp) - currently connected to what looks like an ordinary light switch.
Trawling through this sub, I understand that's not a true 3-way, and if I needed that, I may have to go with the unlisted PD-10NXD "Caseta Pro Dimmer" and do some wiring tricks (source: ). Three-way lights for my hallways (currently connected to two three-way switches with dimmer) - I've heard about the Caseta switch/pico remote combo, though it seems not listed on the official website ( ).LED Pot lights in kitchen (currently connected to a single pole switch) - my understanding is this can go with the "In-Wall Smart Dimmer Switch" or "Smart Switch For Light or Fan Control" depending on if I want to dim the lights.I would really appreciate someone making a comment on any or all of the following.
I'm having some trouble understanding the right one to pick, and am also a bit overwhelmed since that doesn't even seem to be the full lineup. I've done just enough research to understand that "Caseta" is a decent choice, however it seems the marketing materials aren't very DIY friendly ( ). First time home owner here! I'm about to embark on my first smart switch/dimmer journey.
