Once added, the Caseta hub, which is required for Homekit integration, will automatically add it to the room you choose.Īs for day-to-day usage, it works really well and so far I haven’t experienced a ‘No Response’ situation. It should be noted that the Caseta app has no icon for a ‘switch’, so if you want it to be treated like one in the ‘Home’ app you will need to change it there. The app should find the switch quickly and ask you the usual questions about which room it’s located in, which icon you prefer etc. To do that you start by holding down the bottom/off button until the green LED on the switch starts blinking, then in the Caseta app, in the settings section, you click ‘add device’. Once it’s installed in the wall, you just need to set it up to work with HomeKit and the Caseta app. I am not an electrician and I do not recommend you install this yourself without help from someone who knows what they are doing. should have the load bearing device installed between the power cables in the fan for this interruptor. The first installer I hired got freaked out by it because they were not experienced in reading the diagram/it is a smart product and they just got scared and quit the job. My brother and I were able to see what needed to be done via the diagram and we successfully installed it. The switch itself comes with a load-bearing device for use with fans (or any other electrical devices that need it). The carton is pretty standard for Lutron Caseta products, with nice and sturdy blister packaging. We use these in rooms where we want to have a sort of ‘kill switch’ because the whole room is wired to be ‘on or off’, electrically, and for rooms that have fans always on, or rooms where we will never use anything other than bulbs that don’t work on dimmers. We don’t have wiring for a switch that requires a ‘neutral’ that also work well with HomeKit, so this fits the bill in that respect. No, in all seriousness, I bought it because of its usefulness and ease of integration. There aren’t a ton of interruptor switches out there that work in old houses like mine. I bought this product because I’m a HomeKit junkie.
