I use Lutron. But they use a proprietary protocol (with local control however)
I’ve heard good things about those, I’d just hate to have to buy into another system.
I use lutron (dimming), they are older ones I think the newest one I have is 4 years old, I get a ton of flickering in my LED bulbs. Do you experience that? I've tried a variety of bulbs and it's the same issues if not worse. I was planning to switch to a different brand when I have the time to commit to it.
You mean the Lutron Caseta ones right?
Yea I do notice the flickering in one of my rooms. They do sell a capacitor to solve the issue Lutron LUT-MLC https://a.co/d/eXWMCdY
I haven’t bothered with it since the room with the flickering is my server room.
Thank you I'll look into this!
Lutron is great if you have an old home like I do because of the wall mountable remotes. I've added lamp dimmers and 3 way switches in multiple spots in my house where I'd otherwise have to do a bunch of rewiring. The bummer about them is that since the buttons are flat they can be hard to find in the dark.
There’s a new line of Caseta switches which actually look good and are traditional.
Can’t be bothered to replace mine and barely use them anyway. Just use HA and automations for the most part
