This good lighting model is Matter agnostic, and that is high quality by me
Lutron, the good lighting firm that developed the world’s first dimmer swap, has a seat on the Connectivity Requirements Alliance’s board of administrators, however its merchandise don’t help Matter, the good residence commonplace the CSA launched in late 2022 and continues to iterate on.
Do I care? Not a whit. Lutron’s good residence merchandise are so good—and suitable with so many different ecosystems, together with Alexa, Google Dwelling, Apple HomeKit, Ring, and even Sonos audio system—that the absence of Matter help doesn’t hassle me within the least.
I’ve a number of Lutron Caséta and Lutron Diva merchandise in my partitions, and I’m contemplating including extra given the superb reductions which can be accessible throughout Amazon’s Prime Day sale (Lutron’s merchandise hardly ever go on sale).

They each depend on Lutron’s Sensible Hub, nevertheless, which should be hardwired to your router.
If you have already got the hub, you should purchase the switches, ceiling-fan and smart-shade controllers, and wi-fi distant controls, and different parts a la carte. I’ll level out offers on each starter kits and single merchandise.
Lutron Caséta is Lutron’s authentic good lighting providing, which some individuals assume appears too geeky by means of having numerous buttons (I’m not in that camp). The Diva product line is newer and sleeker; it appears extra like a traditional paddle swap, with the dimmer model having a slider to the linked load’s management brightness.

Not everybody cares for the unique Lutron Caséta dimmer’s industrial design, however I don’t assume it’s honest to dismiss it as geek stylish.
