Once you set up your hardware, the free Lutron app gives you the usual array of smart controls-remote dimming, timers and scheduling, location-based settings, and more. Purchasing and pairing additional smart remotes can give you more points of control in the room or around the house. The kit also comes with a Pico remote control that can be mounted to the wall with a mounting bracket (sold separately) to serve as a 3-way switch that controls your lights from a second location. Setting up the Smart Bridge is straightforward, as is installing the in-wall dimmer switch that doesn't require neutral wiring, unlike most smart switches. The included Caseta Smart Bridge hooks up to your Wi-Fi router and serves as the hub for any Caseta Wireless products you own.

While it costs more than the typical individual smart switch, Lutron's Caseta Smart Dimmer Starter Kit provides an ideal entry point for homeowners upgrading to smart lighting.
