A Lutron switch is a lighting control device manufactured by Lutron Electronics, a company founded in 1961 that invented the solid-state dimmer and is the global leader in lighting control. Lutron switches include a wide range of products from simple manual dimmers to advanced smart switches. At the basic level, a Lutron switch can be a traditional on-off toggle or Decora-style switch, or a manual dimmer from families like Diva, Skylark, or Maestro that allows you to dim lights by sliding or pressing a button, improving ambiance and saving energy. More commonly today, when people say Lutron switch they mean a smart lighting control from Lutron's Caseta, RadioRA, or HomeWorks lines. These smart switches contain wireless radios using Lutron's proprietary Clear Connect RF technology that communicates with a central hub or processor. They allow you to control lights from a smartphone app, schedule lights to turn on and off automatically, create scenes that set multiple lights to preset levels, integrate with voice assistants like Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit, and work with wireless Pico remotes for three-way control without extra wiring. Lutron switches are known for superior build quality, excellent LED dimming compatibility that prevents flicker and buzzing, ability to work without a neutral wire on many models, and extremely reliable wireless performance that does not depend on congested WiFi networks.
