Lutron does have their own tech (Clearconnect) which is not zwave. A lot of zwave devices do work - I have a GE weatherproof switch, an Aeon Labs plug in switch, an Aeon labs micro switch, and an Enerwave Dual switch all that work with Wink. It all depends on whether or not Wink has added that...
Welcome! You may want to check the high end trim on the switch. There's advanced info to check it or adjust it here http://www.casetawireless.com/Documents/0301710a_Caseta%20Advanced%20Inst.pdf Basically these switches can set an artificially lower "full on" level (and the same for the low...
The bulbs I got said it on the packaging. Keep in mind that it has been a while since bulbs have been assumed dimmable. CFL's are assumed not dimmable. LED's are the same, even though most can dim. If you look around, lights now indicate if they are dimmable and the assumption is that they...
Dimmers alter the power going to the device, so they can't work with in wall dimmers. Usually they chop up the power. Electronics need a steady stream of power. Think about what would happen if your computer had it's powered turned off and on 20 times a second.
Your lights are still on...
Barev Bill in Glendale! How did you get your Radio Thermostat to work with Wink? I have the CT50 with a wifi module, which works great, but it can't be added to Wink as far as I can tell. Unless you are using a Zwave module. In that case, can you have the Zwave module and the Wifi module...
I've always been surprised that nobody makes a lighting control cabinet for the home user. This would be a box that would go up in your attic that would get power fed to it and then have a bunch of branch sub feeds to the various lights in your house. You then would use wireless remotes for...
I wouldn't say somebody is "working" on a $10-$20 wireless dimmer switch. Everybody is working to get the cost down, but ultimately you have quite a bit of electronics in there (the wireless and the dimmer) and you have all the problems of LED compatibility for dimming. It's a much more...
The Lutron switches are guaranteed at 30' ft from the hub. That's thru anything (with the exception of a bank vault or something ridiculous). I have found that they go much further, however they are not a mesh network. Also be cautious of doing the walk around Pico test, where you grab a...
Lutron has a Caseta Wireless solution that has its own hub as well. Pretty sure that doesn't require the cloud. The devices are new, but it's basically just a lower cost version of the same technology Lutron has been using since the late 90's. If you want something that is solid, they'd be...
Right now the main difference between Smartthings and Wink is that Smartthings is a more open platform that allows for people to add their own integration to it. Wink has an API, but I don't believe there is a way to add to the Wink Hub / Program itself. Wink also has Lutron connectivity...
On the GE Link add, did you guys notice that when they show the smart phone with the Wink App, it's a different looking app? They have a series of lights with a round indicator going around each light. Looks pretty good.
I've gotten a lot of mixed messages on the Pico and multi-pairing. I know I can pair one Pico to multiple Lutron PowPaks (that's a commercial product). I believe Lutron once told me that the Pico is a one way device as well (it sends, but doesn't receive). There must be some two way initially...
It work make sense that Lutron would have the patent - they've been doing wireless lighting control for quite some time. Weird that it is basically a software patent though. Probably why the Pico only controls Lutron lighting right now too. Hopefully they can get that resolved, because that's...
You can do a factory reset on the Pico switch (and the Casetta too for that matter). For the Pico, you triple tap and then hold the top botton (the on). Keep the button pressed for 6 seconds. Release the button and triple tap again. I believe it's the same process for the Casetta. That...
It would be pretty easy to do this with Caseta. You wouldn't even need a wink hub. You'd get one Caseta in wall dimmer for each group (so 2) and Pico remotes for the rest (with the wall plate adapter). At the non Caseta locations, the black wires (or whatever color the switchlegs are) get...
I'm 99% sure you can repair the Pico to the Caseta light. You have to first hold down a certain button for 10 seconds to do a reset on the switches (both of them). That unpairs them. I actually had to do this when I first got my Caseta switches, because they can prepaired to their Pico. I...
I have 2 Caseta in wall switches and I use the Pico's as three way switches. I got the wall plates at Staples (cheapest I found). They work great as 3 ways. The wall plates can go over an existing box or can be screwed to a wall, and the Pico slides in. I had an electrical box that was full...
