Lutron Diva Smart Dimmer Switch with Wallplate for Caséta Smart Lighting | No Neutral Wire Required | DVRFW-6L-WH-A | White

I have used many different dimmers in my home and all work with Alexa which is important to me. Some Lutron dimmers require a hub which I have and it’s not expensive to add if needed. This dimmer is pretty impressive because it makes my wife happy not to have to press multiple buttons to get dimming just right. She wanted a dimmer that she can set once and every time she touches the switch, it goes to the set dimming level. First, this works perfect, no buzz, no flicker, just solid dimming. This model uses a slide on the side of the Decora paddle switch which makes dimming easy to set. Then when you press the switch on, it immediately goes to the preset dimming level which is perfect to set up a closet, bath or kitchen so you’re not blinded until you dim it. My wife especially likes this feature. But, if you press the top again, it jumps to full brightness or you can turn off by pressing the bottom. This is unique to this type dimmer. Another great feature is you can make this a 3 way or add a remote location control by pairing it with a wireless pico PJ2 3BRL with or without dimming. I used a dimming pico (around $24) and it works as a remote switch and can dim as well. I also can control it through Alexa. Awesome switch, works perfect and is the easiest switch to use and explain to a homeowner. No flicker, solid performance. I used LED down lights and wafers. I installed two in my bathroom shower and closet, they both work perfect and independent of each other with no flicker or hum.

It does not have a "favorite intensity " button but if you press ON twice, the light turns ON at 100%. So, you can set a night/lower brightness with the dimmer slider and press ON twice to get full lighting during the day.

I recently embarked on a journey to enhance the lighting in my home and stumbled upon what I now consider a hidden gem: the Lutron Diva Smart Dimmer Switch. Skeptical at first about its potential impact, I was quickly proven wrong. This little gadget has transformed my mundane lighting into an experience that's both functional and atmospheric. The installation process was surprisingly straightforward. I'm no electrician, but the clear instructions and simple design made it easy to integrate the dimmer into my existing setup. The real magic, however, began once I connected it to my home's Wi-Fi network. The ease of controlling my lights through my smartphone was a game-changer. I could adjust brightness levels from anywhere in my home, creating the perfect ambiance for any occasion. What truly sets this dimmer apart is its compatibility with LED lights. It smoothly transitions from bright to dim without any flickering, a common issue I've faced with other dimmers. This feature alone has elevated my evening relaxation routine, allowing me to create a soothing environment that's perfect for winding down. The energy-saving aspect is another highlight. Being environmentally conscious, I appreciate that this smart dimmer switch helps reduce electricity consumption, especially when paired with LED bulbs. It's comforting to know that enhancing my home's ambiance doesn't have to come at the expense of a higher energy bill or a larger carbon footprint. This dimmer switch has redefined my home lighting experience. It offers a perfect blend of convenience, efficiency, and style, seamlessly fitting into my daily life. If you're looking to upgrade your home lighting system, this smart switch is a choice you won't regret. It's more than just a dimmer; it's a small step towards a smarter, more comfortable home.

I have Caseta dimmers throughout my home, and was excited for the Diva line since they are, in my opinion, a better style (because they match most other decora switches). These are easy to install and setup. More importantly, the Lutron control network is extremely stable - I've never had a switch not respond or lose connection.

At 90CAD, this is far from cheap. Dimming work properly but Ethernet Hub is needed for the smart function. The toggle feel great, I like the way that the dimming control is working. Using the slider to adjust the desired intensity, double click the power on to override it and be at 100%. You can also override the slider from the app. That said, It is not possible to adjust the fade-in / fade-out when turning the light on/off. I don't mind the fade-out but I would like to adjust the fade-in timing especially at 90$. Note: Make sure you have a full size light switch junction box otherwise it won't fit.
