Buyer's guide

What's a Caseta plug-in dimmer?

A module that plugs into a wall outlet and dims a lamp plugged into it, controlled from the Lutron app, a Pico remote, or Alexa, Google, and Apple Home through the Lutron bridge.

Does it need the Lutron bridge?

For app and voice control, yes. Without the bridge you can still pair it straight to a Pico remote.

What bulbs work?

Dimmable LED and incandescent bulbs. Check the wattage limit on the listing.
