Lastly, some people are not big fans of the button layout on the Caséta switches. The Lutron Caséta on/off switch (product number: PD-6ANS) WILL NOT work with no neutral. If you don’t already have the hub, you can save a little money by buying a starter kit bundle which includes the Lutron hub along with a couple dimmer switches.Īlso for no neutral circuits, make sure you get the Lutron Caséta dimmerswitch (product number: PD-6WCL). In addition to each switch being relatively expensive, you also need to purchase a Lutron Caséta Smart Hub. However, the Lutron switches are some of the most expensive smart switches. Even with LED bulbs (must be marked as dimmable), the lights can be dimmed to almost nothing. Not all dimmers are created equal, and Lutron’s dimming performance is exceptional. I’ve tested a number of other smart switches, and Lutron is the only one that has NEVER failed me. I’ve been using Lutron Caséta switches for over 3 years, and I don’t remember a single time when I pressed the button and the light didn’t come on.
If reliability is what you’re looking for, then look no further. Therefore, if your electrical box lacks a ground wire too, those switches won’t work for you. Some of the no neutral smart switches require a ground wire. Typically, the manufacturer will list the minimum power required for the switch to operate effectively, and at what point the bypass will be required. This potentially adds an additional cost and an additional step in the installation process. Some no neutral smart switches require an additional part (usually called a bypass resistor or capacitor) in order to work with low power lights.
However in no neutral mode, the power monitoring feature does not work. For example, the Inovelli switches have a power monitoring feature that works when a neutral is connected. When using them in no neutral mode, some features may not work. Some of these smart switches can work with, or without a neutral. In addition to all the normal deciding factors for a smart switch, some additional things to watch out for when buying a no neutral smart switch are as follows: Limited features When buying any smart switch or dimmer, you are probably looking for the right look, the right wireless protocol, and the right price. No color aging, easy to clean and no scratch.What to look for when buying a no neutral smart switch? 4mm thick tempered glass panel is waterproof and safer than push button, prevent electric shock even if touching by wet hands. SAFETY PROTECTION: Fire-retardant material and Aluminum shell for heat dissipation.Automations - Control your switches, set timers create scenes and routines to automate your lights according to your schedule.Voice Control: Works with Alexa and Google Home for easy voice control.Low power consumption and long service life.
