Overview
A paddle actuator in the Claro style switches the load on this Lutron smart switch, while the Caseta system adds app control and schedules. It replaces a standard wall switch and works in multi-location setups.
Matching the look of existing Claro switches while adding remote control is the reason to choose it. Without a neutral wire in the box and a Caseta hub, it will not do its smart job.
Who it's for
Homeowners with a Caseta hub and Claro wall plates get smart control that blends in. Houses without neutral wires at the switch need a different switch type.
Pros and cons
- Matches existing Claro paddles
- Controls lights or exhaust fans
- Works in three-way setups
- App scheduling through the hub
- Requires a neutral wire
- Hub sold separately
- On/off only, no dimming
Performance notes
The switch is limited by its load limit, so a lighting circuit and a fan motor have different ceilings. Smart functions route through the Caseta hub, so app and schedule response depend on that hub staying online.
