For such a small channel your videos are well edited and really professional.

Thank you so much! This video was so throughout and I saved a couple hundred by changing to these dimmers in my business myself instead of paying a professional ! Really appreciate the help!

Thanks for the tip on the Lutron LUT-MLC.. not sure why they just don't build that right in but this video at least informed me of its existence.. expensive wire at $11 (20% increase cost per outlet)

Great video! I just installed my first Lutron Caseta & Maestro sensor switch today. I currently have a Hue setup with about 7-10 bulbs. I am very impressed with the Lutron setup now. Seems like a great way to control (In my case) 5 plus lights with a single command. More cost efficient also than purchasing each individual bulb (Hue). Liked and subscribed! Keep up the great work!

Solid video with a perfect explanation of the MLC load adaptor.

Hi there. I have a two gang light switch in my kitchen:- one controlling the kitchen light and the other the dining light. However, I also have a one-gang light switch at the other end of the room controlling both lights. Can I install one caseta wireless dimmer in the one-gang switch to jointly control both lights and install two pico remotes in the two-gang switch to individually control each light? Thanks.

Hi, i am using Smartthings v3 hub, can i set an automation to turn on a group of light through lutron dimable switch in particular brightness and specific time when a motion sensor detected a movement?

or if it doesn't work on smartthings, can you do it on lutron app?

thanks in advance for the answer

Great Vid!! The LVT MLC has to be installed to every single Lutron Switch to prevent the lights to glow? Where can I get that piece?

[UltimateTechHub]

Good job I have a similar video of the installation.I also showed the install of the plug in dimmers too and the wall dimmer on a 3 way switch. Thumbs up.

8:50 When drawing electrical diagram, we often use blue as white/neutral

[oakkster]

Nice video and explanation! I ran into the same issue with my recessed lights ghosting when the switch it turned off, so I was looking into the LUT-MLC. My setup looks similar to yours with the two black wires and a ground, so it looks like I don't have a neutral wire. But I've read that your need a neutral wire to use the LUT-MLC. Any ideas on that?

Great video! We are currently building a house and about to get our electrical portion. I believe the electrician said we will be using the LED puck lights. My question is, would the regular dimmer switch work with them as long as you had the LUT-MLC hooked to it or do we need the ELV switches and LUT-MLC's to make sure the LED lights dont stay on? Thanks in advance and we love the channel!

random question, What are the dimensions for the 5 gang switch, I have a 5 gang switches that I want to turn them all to smart switches, but I am having hard time finding a 5 gang switch with a plaque, any insight or advise on this would be appreciated!

Hi can I use it to control my pool lights ? I don’t have a switch inside the house I have to go all the way back to the pool equipment like 40’ away, does it work with color pool ligths?

Great video very helpful....I have a smart home but only received a few switches in the build....trying to get the trade to come out and install more switches is impossible. How hard could it be...thanks for this easy step by step video.

[GreenMountain]

Excellent video! You seem to have a good understanding of electricity. So let me ask you a question. I have (2) Caseta dimmers with a Pico in the middle of them on a 3 gang box. Now I had to remove both sides of the inner fins on the Caseta’s so my pico could fit in the middle. Now Lutron says do not remove any of the fins on the outsides of the caseta’s but I had to remove one of the fins as I had a screw that needed to be exposed for my adjustable gangbox. Do you see this causing any issues? I’m only running about 60 watts on each of the Caseta’s
Thanks and keep up the good work!

Hi, do you need a hub for this to work?

[thebum]

I got my phone playing this video out loud and my alexas is asking me “DID YOU MEAN TV?” Me STOP”

[dragngt]

The LUT MLC is sold separately from the Caseta kit I’m assuming?
