eutral wire, this is the best LED smart dimmer available.
- Quality product, and in many rooms the cons aren’t an issue
- Controls up to 17 8.5 watt led bulbs
- Has unique ability to modify/set the high and/or low end of the dimming range (i.e. set the dim range so a bulb/fixture will dim lower)

CONS:
- Lutron certifies bulbs for use in the dimmer and many bulbs, including the top rated BR30 GE Reveals, will not work in this dimmer. We like to use the new ‘vintage look’ LED bulbs, and none of mine work properly in this PD-6WCL-WH Caseta dimmer.
- The problem must people have with this product is it’s inability to set a default dimming level. When turned on at the switch it goes to max brightness.

Many people, like myself, like that when using LEDs with a dimmer, you can buy bulbs brighter than you could for an incandescent, and it only adds 2-5 watts and virtually no heat. This allows you to light a room super bright if needed, but use the dimmer so you can tone it down for everyday use. Here in lies the problem with this dimmer. It starts at max ever time you use the switch. This is terrible for a bathroom in the middle of the night.

The last thing is the layout is complicated. Guests won’t know how to use it, and you have to pause and think before you choose a button (especially in the dark). It not like a GE paddle where you can walk by and quickly tap it up or down.

If you like the layout, I strongly suggest you check out the Caseta PD-5NE-WH dimmer switch. It uses a neutral wire and functions with way more bulbs (I check compatibility myself - if there’s no flicker, hum, or on/off flash they work). It also has a button for a preset default, but it is a little pricey - no more pricy than spending $54 on a dimmer and switching it out!

See my product review on Caseta’s more advanced dimmer (PD-5NE-WH), it resolves almost all of this products issues.

优点：产品没有白色中性线。如果你的老房子没有中性线，这是最好的LED智能调光器。产品优质，在很多房间里使用都不是问题。可控制多达17个85瓦的LED灯泡。它具有独特的能力来修改和设置其调光范围的高和或低（即设置暗淡范围，使灯泡夹具变暗）。

缺点： LUTRON认证灯泡用于调光器，许多灯泡包括最高额定BR30GE表示将不会用这个调光器工作。我们喜欢使用新的“老式外观”LED灯泡，在这个PD6WCL WH CASITA调光器中，我不能正常工作。人们必须面对的问题是它不能设置默认的调光级别。当开关打开时，它会达到最大亮度。像我一样的很多人，当使用带有调光器的LED时，你可以买比白炽灯更亮的灯泡，它只增加25瓦，实际上没有热量。这可以让你在需要的时候照亮一个的房间，但是使用调光器，你就可以把它调暗以供日常使用。这是这个调光器的问题所在。你打开开关，亮度将会达到最大，这对午夜的洗手间来说太可怕了。最后一件事是布局复杂，客人不知道如何使用它，在你选择按钮之前，你必须停下来思考一下（尤其是在黑暗中）。它不像一个你可以走来走去且随意上下的Ge桨。如果你喜欢这个布局，我强烈建议你检查CasetaPD5NEWH调光器开关，它使用中性线和很多灯泡的功能（我自己检查兼容性如果没有闪烁，嗡嗡声，或开关闪光灯，他们就是好的）。它也有一个预设按钮，但是有点贵比在调光器上花费的54美元更昂贵！经过我的的产品审查，Caseta将成为更先进的调光器（PD5NEWH），也几乎解决了所有的产品问题。

bridge installed without any issues and works flawlessly with its app and Alexa interface. Remotes are a little fiddly to program, but I've seen worse.

The big issue is compatibility with fixtures. If you install these switches with dimmable LEDs, the fixtures must be on the list of compatible equipment provided by Lutron. I tried to use fixtures that were not listed as compatible and ran into serious operational issues (flashing, flickering, unpredictable dimming). Suffice to say that anything not on the list is likely to give you headaches, and it is almost certain that the super-inexpensive fixture you found is not certified.

2 switches and 2 remotes.

Installing the switches was easy, though I prefer the GE design where the wires are inserted into the switch body, rather than using wire nuts as Lutron has done. The hub was also easy to install, though it looks like it needs to be on the same switch as your WiFi access point.

The remotes have a lot of possibilities. I can put switches in new locations, such as on both ends of a hallway, without having to run new wires. And with the wall mount adapter and a new cover plate, it'll look like it's built into the wall!

My only complaint is that the switches are rather particular about the bulbs if you're using LEDs. Not all dimmable LED and CFL bulbs are compatible, and non-dimmable bulbs just plain won't work.

After noticing this I actually had to buy some more picos just so I can have this function in some areas of my home where I don't want the lights to go to full brightness each time I turn them back on. This really upset me a bit and had I known this prior to installing them I might have thought twice and looked for another switch instead. The other thing I really don't like about these switches are the way they look. To me they look outdated and need to look more modern and sleek. So many other switched out there now that look insanely good, but just don't offer the same features. If Lutron corrects these two issues its a 5 star product all day.
