Lutron Caséta Motion Sensor with Apple HomeKit

Lutron's motion sensor is easy to dismiss since it doesn't integrate with smart home systems like HomeKit, but I think that's a mistake. If you have Lutron Caséta Wireless lights, this sensor offers some powerful automation capabilities that are hard to reproduce in other systems.

Only video to clearly show how to easily set the 1 minute timeout. Thanks!

[morells]

I used your video to set up two of these for my parents in their garage and laundry room and it was a huge help, thanks Eric!

[TechWithTony]

Amen. I bought it as soon as it came out and it is so much more responsive than any other motion sensor I’ve had to control any Casada light

[GrandmaHatesTech]

I need one of these for my Beet fridge to see who keeps raiding my beer 🍺

[TheBradLloyd]

Nice moves down the stairs! I’ve never used the Lutron motion sensor, but this looks solid! I have several of the Eve motion sensors which are nice, but a little finicky. I may have to give the Lutron one a try.

"But wait, there's more" LOL. Nice!

Thank you for mentioning the occupancy switch. The Caseta Motion sensor has more uses, but I see so many people on Reddit asking how to use a $70 switch with a $50 sensor in places like a closet or bathroom. SAVE your money for more useful applications and use the DUMB switch!

[Fawke]

I’m confused about the motion sensitivity, according to your explanation, high sensitivity means it takes a lot more motion to trigger it, common sense tells me high sensitivity means the sensor will be too sensitive and can be triggered with less motion

[osh]

Thanks for explaining the motion detection sensitivity level. Had mines set to high and wondering why motion doesn’t work well

[allandresner]

Nice review..thank you, suggest you do a little bitt of a deeper dive into the options on the back of the device

Hi Eric
So all I need to get is the caseta light switches to used this motion sensor and I don't need to buy smart bulb, Am I right?

[mdhotrod]

Hi Eric what type of light bulb do I need to get to work with this motion sensor? Thank You! :)

[debbiebridygham]

I love the Lutron Caseta hardware, it can handle most basic usage, but after four years it seems too basic, and Lutron so far has not been even a little interested in significant feature improvements.

Got Right equipment - GR1🥃
3 years ago pup the plug on lutron - still happy user... it’s just work

[kingscorpio]

Which Lurton smart switch is compatible with the motion sensor or are there Lurton smart switches which motion sensors ? Thank you.

[iqbalhussain]

Does it keep the lights on if you stay in the room longer than the time period?

[emmgeevideo]

I'm installing Caseta switches with the Caseta Smart Bridge, not lights. Do all the things you're saying about "lights" apply to "switches"? I did a bunch of googling and I don't see that Lutron makes lights.

[ArtificialJetleg]

attaching to a wall is only with double adhesive?

[JBK]

Do you think this could be used outside like under and eve so it’s not getting wet but would be exposed to low temperatures or perhaps you have another suggestion. I’m currently using the classic x10 outside motion sensor but it’s signal over the wiring is just not reliable enough

[jeremiahpowell]

I want to get one for the laundry room I just wish they made a diva dimmer switch that didn’t have dimmer I know they do make one but my house needs switches that all need no neutral wires cause my house don’t have them so in the end I have to get diva Caseta dimmers and pico remotes for the second switch
