Our verdict

A capable smart switch once the Smart Hub is in place, but budget for that hub and possibly a Pico remote before treating this as a standalone purchase.

Overview

The Lutron Caseta PD-6ANS-WH is a smart single pole or 3-way light and fan switch that needs a Lutron Smart Hub to unlock its app, voice and scheduling features. It requires a neutral wire and controls fans up to 6 amps and bulbs up to 600 watts.

The hub requirement is the detail that decides whether this is a drop in switch or the start of a small smart home purchase, since the Smart Hub is sold separately and is what enables Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple Home control. 3-way or multi location control also needs an add on Pico remote or a second Caseta switch rather than working out of the box.

Requires Lutron Smart Hub, sold separately
Works with Apple Home, Alexa and Google Assistant
Pairs with Pico remotes for 3-way control
Up to 600 watt bulbs or 6 amp fans, neutral wire required

Who it's for

Homeowners already using or planning to buy a Lutron Smart Hub who want app, voice or scheduled control over a light or fan. Not a fit for anyone wanting a simple standalone switch or a box without a neutral wire.

Pros and cons

Pros

Works with Apple Home, Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant
Pico remote adds 3-way or multi location control without rewiring
Vacation mode randomizes timing to simulate occupancy
Handles fans up to 6 amps and bulbs up to 600 watts

Cons

Requires a separate Lutron Smart Hub to unlock smart features
Needs a neutral wire at the switch box
3-way control needs an added Pico remote or second Caseta switch
Wallplate sold separately

Performance notes

The switch handles LED, CFL, incandescent and halogen bulbs up to 600 watts and ceiling fans up to 6 amps, and its scheduling can vary on and off times at random while away to simulate occupancy. Geofencing and sunrise or sunset triggers run through the Lutron app once paired to the hub, and 3-way control is added by pairing a Pico remote rather than rewiring a second switch location.
