Lutron Pico Smart Remote Control for Caséta Smart Dimmer Switch | PJ2-3BRL-GBL-L01 | Black

Exactly the right unit to replace the old remote. Works Perfect!! I also glue a magnet on it so that it’s in easy reach from my couch on my metal 3 tiered stand.

Dog chewed up our original one. Easy to set up and works great!

I am using this in conjunction with a Lutron Caseta wall dimmer switch and a Wink hub. The downside to these products is that they have a proprietary wireless system (not Z-wave or Zigbee). That though is also an advantage because they will work with or without a home automation system in operation (or after you sell and take your home automation hub with you). It you do use this with a Wink though, pair the Pico remote through Wink, not using the directions provided by Lutron. You can use this remote anywhere on a wall or just loose, or in a box where a 3 or 4 way slave switch used to reside (or actually even where the 3 or 4 way switch resided). They sell a separate piece of plastic for mounting in a box, which really should be included in the package for the remote. If you do install it in a box, dealing with the existing wiring is pretty simple--you just connect all the wires together with a large wire nut (except any common wire (unlikely) or a ground). I would suggest though taking a picture of the existing switch wiring, and tag the wires as necessary so that you can easily reverse the process if you remove the Lutron switch. As to the remote, it is actually a bit nicer than the wireless switch I paired it with because the middle button can be set to turn on to a remembered brightness level, where the on button remains full bright. Other than that, this product works as well as any wired slave switch--assuming distance is not too great. As to distance, for use with a Wink system it would be distance to the Wink hub. For use without a hub it would be distance to the wired switch. I did not test out distance, but I have not had any issues with them being on a different floor than my hub, but they are virtually right below the hub, so the distance is not great. Anyway, I generally do not like proprietary systems, but here it actually does provide some benefit.

I love Lutron Caseta because you can easily add a light switch to a wall without having to connect any wires. You add the remotes and mount them in a wall with a wall plate and voila.

I bought the original wall switch and remote as a package at Lowes, but needed a second remote. Now my wife and I each have a remote on our respective nightstands. These little remotes work great. The center preset button is a nice feature. It was easy to sync each remote to the wall switch and easier still for each of us to also sync our own desired preset lighting level. Have other Lutron products. Quality made. I havent tried the Alexa integration, so didnt rate it. As one of us falls asleep before the other, better to just use the remote to cut off the light, rather than yelling to Alexa to cut it off.

Good product, but my remotes would not pair to main switch. The pairing process in the instructions would not work no matter what. I had to scour the internet to find one obscure post on how to factory reset the switch. It clears and preparing in the switch. I then was able to pair both remotes via the instructions. Maybe Im a fluke, but it was an extraordinary pain to figure out.

Saw this and the companion Caseta switch on Ask This Old House, and decided it would solve a problem I had with a remote light switch in my foyer. Now I can just flick the Pico remote to turn it on and off, and dim. I installed the matching App on my iPhone, and set the light to turn on at dusk, and off about bedtime. Have not tried it with Alexa.

I have over half my house set up with wireless (hard wired) transmitter switches, and mounted these picos for all the other switches. Have a 3 back pedestal on my kitchen island and Alexa with voice controls. couldnt be happier. been using these for years and years. havent had any battery issues or otherwise. Great product, and a reputable industry leading company. **Disclosure, these are JUST the remotes, so you still have to have Lutron compatible devices for these to control. (Ie; wired Maestro wireless wall switch, wired PowPak, lutron outlet connector. AND if you want the Alexa voice control, you will need to get the Lutron Caseta wireless hub that ties in with your home wifi)

for the remote that the dog chewed on. It still works, but the top piece on the front is chewed up pretty bad. He is a bad little dog. Right now, he is in the other dogs crate playing with his squeaky elephant. The dog waits until we go to bed to grab things off the end tables (hubbys side mostly) and during the day, he likes to hop on the bed and walk over to my nightstand and try to grab anything he can, which is how he got the remote that is being replaced. The remote works well and you are able to dim it and then also automatically have it shut off gradually with the bottom button.
