Entire Home Smart Lighting Remodel

[@TechWithBrett]

This is the biggest smart lighting renovation I have done yet! The end result really looks amazing. What else would you like to know about the Caséta Wireless system?

[@Tonastheking]

Well the system work the same with smart colors bulbs?

[@samuelagbai7392]

Good day to you. I wanna ask, when adding a Google voice command, do we need to add a Google hub in every rooms, lobbies, toilets and kitchen?

[@TheWILLMORIN]

I have lutron caseta for ALL my light switches in my house (about 25) and it's the best thing ever !! A bit on the pricey side, but totally worth it :)

[@islandbum9814]

Same here, Lutron Caseta just plain WORKS! I would recommend getting the Smart Bridge "PRO" hub.

[@dunnjulian11]

@@islandbum9814 why?

[@OwBrown]

You are lucky you, we can’t get the Lutron Caseta in the UK as our voltage is different. Unfortunately it looks like Lutron have no plans to release it for the UK market, they would rather release the RA2.

[@havox112]

As an electrician these just provide so much utility without having to rewire. You don’t even have to have a bridge to do some functions such as creating another 3way or a just a convenient remote

[@willdwyer6782]

If you use Pico remotes with home assistant or hubitat, each button can be programmed to do different things for a single tap, a double tap, or a long press.

[@TechWithBrett]

Ok, that's pretty sweet. What about the regular switch?

[@robincobb8611]

I use Lutron for my smart and non-smart lighting, also. They are so reliable! They work every time and all the time. I use regular motion sensors for hallways and the basement laundry room and Caseta for the rest. I can’t wait to get the Serena shades like you did.

[@TechWithBrett]

It is great to hear they are working well! The shades are very impressive.

[@45414]

We love Lutron's system. I have ours set to turn off a lot of the lights several times every weekday in case we forget. It saves me from "preaching" to the rest of the family about the importance of saving energy ($).

[@theacme1000]

Watching this confirms Lutron Caseta is NOT the way to go. Z-wave switches (like the Homeseer) with multi-tap scene control allow much more versatility. You can set 12 scenes per switch and using the LEDs on the switch (7 on the dimmers) you can set status indicators or warning signals for what's happening in other parts of the house . I also prefer being able to install a companion switch with 3 or 4 way wired circuits instead of a battery operated remote. And, the companion switches offer all the same scene control and dimming capabilities of the master switch on that circuit. Oh, and at a lower cost. Yes, most of the z-wave switches require a neutral but most newer house have one in every box anyway. If they don't, go for the Inovelli z-wave switches with almost identical features as Homeseer. Ceiling fans, Homeseer has that covered if fan and light are wired separately. Inovelli has it covered if they are wired together. And, z-wave has a lot of different types of connectable devices which won't require an additional hub. My 2 cents!

[@bahatimoa]

I absolutely love the detail and thoroughness

[@HeyTechi]

Thanks for such a thorough walk through! Imagine if this set up supported Thread too though! That would make it next level!

[@1packatak]

You might want to start using WAGO wire nuts. They are much smaller, super easy to install, do not come apart and no need for electrical tape. They have a newer transparent version that is even smaller and super easy, even for a DIYer. Because of their smaller size, it is easier to tuck them into the outlet box. Have been around for years. Designed and manufactured in Germany.

[@ahilanselliah6527]

I used those to switch out all the switches in our apartment.

Hi Brett, I am new to smart home set up and really love your videos. Thank you for such informative content! I was curious, in this video at 7:50, are you connecting the hot and neutral wires together? I may be misunderstanding but if so that seems like a potential hazard and best case would throw the breaker-worst case much worse (I’m no electrician). Please correct me if I’m wrong.

[@macinman]

Really nice setup. I recently bought a basic Lutron inline dimmer for my 25 year old lava lamp. Because of it's age, it had started to overheat, so putting it on a dimmer to control the heat has made it work like it was brand new again. Lava lamps are the one type of lighting I still consider using incandescent lights for because they require the heat to work. Thankfully, I'm only dealing with 40w, or 25w bulbs depending on the size of the lamp.

[@sizzytop39]

[@rhondaallen9088]

Thanks so much for this informative video. Are the pico remotes required at the second 3-Way point in or for the first point to work? Can we get away with just using the traditional switch that's already installed? I asked because we hardly ever use that second switch.

[@rhondaallen9088]

@@garagehobbies I just recently found the answer! The advanced user's guide www.lutron.com/TechnicalDocumentLibrary/0301710_Caseta_Advanced_Instructions.pdf discusses how to use the Lutron switch/dimmer with traditional mechanical switches. The only thing is this requires a PRO Dimmer (PD-10NXD) to use with your existing manual switches. And those are rare and expensive. So you might as well tie off old switches and buy picos. It comes out cheaper. Oh well.

To everyone trying the cassetta wireless I would instead offer you the radio ra2 from Lutron, it has over 100 features the cassetta doesn’t have. The Ra2 can inter-grate your alarm, audio, a/c and more but the difference is the more brands and devices available than the cassetta, also the programming is complex to let you dimmer or switches do more than the average and the style of the dimmer from the Ra2 I find more presentable

[@egibbys]

Is it just the pico remotes that can be programmed to control all the lights or can the wired ones do the same thing?

This is the one feature that I was disappointed is not available. So you would need to use a Pico remote kit to create a new switch next to already existing switches.

[@egibbys]

@@TechWithBrett That’s a real bummer. It seems like it would just be a software change but maybe it’s more than that. If it could do that I would probably replace my existing zwave switches.

Hi, What kind of recessed lights are you using?

[@garagehobbies]

I have several of these switches but always wondered... can you just install one 3 way switch without the pico's? Say I didn't need to dim lights from all 3 locations but wanted them as part of my home automation and to be able to dim via voice or the one location. Could I just wire up the one Caseta 3 way switch and leave the other two standard rocker 3 way switches alone? I don't like batteries so the pico's have that drawback. I use them elsewhere in some cases.

[@TechWithBrett]

Good question. From what I can find only the In Wall switch can work this way. The Pro Dimmer can do it but they are pretty pricey.

[@garagehobbies]

@@TechWithBrett I did some more research and it appears the dimmers cannot operate this way but the on/off in wall switches without dimmer can work with standard rocker switches at the other locations. I also found that they claim the Pico remote batteries last up to 10 years. I can live with that. I'm replacing all my lighting switches with Caseta switches and added a smart faucet and hood vent in addition to some other goodies. Getting a bit out of hand but fun.

I'm looking for lighting that would come in 3 settings, off, on (recessed lighting, maybe some accent lighting), and sleep -- where sleep will be blue accent lighting over the drop ceiling that would be located over the kitchen island. Since this will be a large kitchen with access coming from the garage as well, it would need to be a 3 way style system where it could be controlled from 2 different points. Ideally it could be controlled from either switch or a tablet. Any ideas?

[@GreeniusGenius]

Probably just Philips Hue. Since you want colours + Hue have accessories like the RunLessWire switch, and it works with HomeKit, so you could have a good looking tablet control panel.

It is not recommended to use a Caseta Dimmer switch on a switch that is connected to a receptacle. The plug in dimmers actually have an option to turn it into a on/switch vs a dimmer switch. Just hold down on/off for 6 seconds to change its mode.

If not, is it possible to tell SmartThings to automatically turn on a generic smart plug if the relevant Caseta Smart Dimmer Switch is turned on?

[@TechWithBrett]

Great questions. With the In Wall switch it cannot act as a Pico so it can only control the lights it is attached to so you would need to have a Pico to control multiple devices. With SmartThings it is possible to make it so when you turn on the in wall smart switch it can then turn on other compatible SmartThings devices.

Hey Tech, I eviewed your video and during your 3-way demonstration I believe you meant the RED wire should connect to the Load wire and the Black to the Hot/Line wire.
