" ... Since it's RF, not IR, you do not need to be line of sight to the physical switch to use it. ... "
" ... I know it has a remote that can be placed at the spot for the 2nd switch, but i have a multiple gang box for other lights at that location. ... Not sure the remote would "fit" with that from an aesthetics perspective and/or functional perspective. ... "
" ... Now that I know I can pair an extra remote, I bought a spare. ... "
" ... The remote makes it easy to turn a single pole into a 3 way or other option (car or bed are suggested on the box, but not sure how much people would use that unless one remote can run several switches). ... "
" ... Price is reasonable, and spare remotes are very affordable, so you can have several for one switch, if you like. ... "
" ... Paired with the little remote and the Lutron hub I've got reliable remote and voice (through Alexa) access to all the lighting. ... "
" ... I needed this switch mainly for the remote that you can use wirelessly as my main switch was on the wrong side of the kitchen . ... "
" ... The remote is rather tiny but works OK. To clarify the answer to some questions I saw on Amazon: I installed it on a circuit with 4 LED bulbs, each bulb being 6.5 watts. ... "

" ... I want all of my lights to have this smart light! ... "
" ... Have 2 of these controlling 4 and 6 LED lights. ... "
" ... As soon as I figured that out, I was able to get even more sophisticated Lutron switches for my low-voltage lighting fixtures. ... "
" ... Now our useful lamps /lights come on evening and turn off automatically later at night. ... The best feature is the setting of schedules, I used to use digital timers to have lamps that we use everyday come on in the evening and go off later. ... Dimming is flawless. ... "
" ... We liked the dimmer and the light so well we purchased a second dimmer and track light. ... "

" ... Easy way to add three way switch to living room. ... "
" ... It’s about 30 feet away and works perfectly. ... "

" ... They have a few that don't require the neutral wire which is great. ... "
" ... Works well with LED bulbs (no hum) and does not require access to a neutral white wire. ... "
" ... Clearly, the electrician forgot to build a 3-way switch (or maybe he ran out of wire). ... "
" ... This switch is perfect for any old home that does not have a neutral wire in your light switch boxes. ... "
" ... I was very close to ordering the Leviton switches before realizing that it was very unlikely that there were neutral wires in my 1950's home (turns out I was right). ... "

" ... We already have one of those, which works great and reliable. ... "

" ... I have paired this switch to two other switches, the one that came in this package and a separately ordered switch (Lutron 3-Button with Raise/Lower Pico Remote for Caseta Wireless Smart Lighting Dimmer Switch, PJ2-3BRL-WH-L01R, White). ... "
" ... Sometimes I hit the dim button instead of on in a hurry. ... "
" ... Should have been just one large button to toggle it on and off and 2 small buttons on the side to control dimming level. ... "
" ... It looks as much like a temperature control as a light switch, with it's two unnecessarily large up/down dimming buttons taking up half of the switch. ... The Maestro also allowed you to adjust the fade-to-off time slower than factory settings. ... With Maestro, you had to turn the lights on fully, before dimming it back down to your favorite dim setting, via the round, favorites button on the remote. ... "
" ... The problem is that it has 4 buttons and all of them are flat (with a tiny bump on one). ... "
" ... Not a three way switch ... "
" ... WTF, where is the dimmer switch? ... "
" ... The only observation I have is that the wall switch has too many small buttons and in the dark it is hard to determine which one your pushing. ... "

" ... I bought this because it's the only 2-wire smart switch I could find to work with my Wink 2 hub, but oh my gosh - this works so much better in my 1960's house than any z-wave device. ... "
" ... I believe you need their hub though. ... "
" ... I put them in several places on two floors, and have no issues with one centrally located hub connecting to them. ... "
" ... I have a few of these hooked up with my Wink Hub 2 instead of the Caseta hub as I am using wink for my home automation. ... "
" ... Unlike other switches you need a separate hub connected to your router to set it up (that's another $75). ... "
" ... The hub plugs into your router, and ac power. ... Currently we have the Phillips hub, and the Lutron hub, and as I add security or other automation, I will need to connect more hubs for those devices creating a clutter of USB adapters, Ethernet cables around the wireless router. ... "
" ... They come with their own hub that connects to your router. ... "
" ... One would still need a Lutron hub to connect the products. ... "
