Lutron Cas\u00e9ta has added two new smart switches to its lineup. The switches are modeled on its existing non-smart \u201cDiva\u201d paddle switch style<\/a>, giving its distinctive smart switch line a more traditional look. Lutron Cas\u00e9ta is probably one of the most reliable DIY smart lighting<\/a> systems available today; it uses a proprietary protocol powered by Lutron\u2019s smart hub rather than Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. <\/p>\n

The new $69.95 Diva smart dimmer<\/a> is a wired paddle switch with a toggle slider for dimming, and the $59.95 Claro smart switch<\/a> is a standard wired on-off switch. Both products look like traditional paddle switches, and other than a small LED light, there\u2019s nothing to single them out as \u201csmart.\u201d As with the existing Caseta smart dimmer<\/a>, the new Diva smart dimmer won\u2019t need a neutral wire. (Though the Claro switch will.)<\/p>\n

The switches are available today, September 12th, at The Home Depot. Lutron is also selling a Diva Smart Starter Kit for $119.95, which includes the dimmer, a Lutron Smart Hub, a wireless Pico remote, and a matching faceplate.<\/p>\n

A new old look<\/h2>\n

The look of the new devices is more in line with what most of Lutron\u2019s competitors are doing in this space; Eve<\/a> and Leviton<\/a> recently launched new switches that stick with a more traditional look. <\/p>\n
