How to Make Your Home Smarter with the Diva Smart Dimmer Switch Expansion Kit

If you are looking for a simple and elegant way to upgrade your home lighting, you might want to check out the Diva Smart Dimmer Switch Expansion Kit by Lutron. This kit allows you to replace one hardwired switch with a smart dimmer switch that works with your existing home’s electrical system. The kit includes the Pico paddle remote for wireless control from anywhere in the room. Essentially giving you a second way to control the light switch. 

 

The Diva Smart Dimmer Switch has a classic paddle-style design that matches the existing paddle switches in your home. It also has a soft glow light bar that indicates the light level and provides easy and precise dimming. The switch works with 150W LED bulbs and 600W incandescent bulbs, and has LED+ advanced dimming technology for superior performance.


The Pico paddle remote is a wireless device that can be mounted on the wall, placed on a tabletop, or carried around. It has the same design and functionality as the Diva Smart Dimmer Switch and can be used to control one or multiple switches. You can also use it to adjust the brightness, turn on or off all the lights, or activate a preset scene.

 

The Diva Smart Dimmer Switch Expansion Kit is part of the Caséta line by Lutron, which is a smart lighting control system that works with older and newer wiring, and integrates with many smart home devices and services. When you are ready to add smarts to your home light system, it is as easy as adding the Caséta Smart Hub. Once you do that you now can control your lights with the switch, the app, the smart remote, or your voice assistant. You can also create scenes, schedules, and geofencing to automate your lighting according to your preferences and routines.


The Diva Smart Dimmer Switch Expansion Kit is easy to install and does not require a neutral wire. Of course, it is important to turn off any power before installing any switch. For most people, this switch can be installed in less than 15 minutes. Adding the Caséta smart hub is simple as well. Just plug the smart hub into the wall power, connect to your router and follow the steps in the app to get it up and running. While the dimmer switch and hub don’t require active Wi-Fi, if you plan on enabling and connecting with other smart home products, such as Alexa, Siri, Google Assistant, Sonos, Ring, etc. then Wi-Fi and/or active internet will be needed.


With the Diva Smart Dimmer Switch Expansion Kit, you can choose to make your home a smart home now or in the future. The flexibility is great. When you are ready to add the Smart Hub, you can unlock the convenience, comfort, and energy savings of smart lighting. Whether you want to create the perfect ambiance, set the mood for a movie night, or make your home look occupied when you are away, you can do it all with a simple touch, tap, or voice command. The Diva Smart Dimmer Switch Expansion Kit is the smarter choice for smart lighting.
