The Lutron L-BDG2-WH Smart Bridge is the hub that turns individual Caseta wireless dimmers, switches, fan controls, plug-in modules, Pico remotes and Serena shades into a connected smart-lighting system. The bridge plugs into a home Wi-Fi router with the supplied Ethernet cable and talks to Caseta devices over Lutron's dedicated RF frequency band, which keeps lighting commands off the crowded Wi-Fi spectrum. Once devices are paired, the free Lutron App lets homeowners control lights and shades from anywhere, build scenes, set schedules tied to time or sunrise/sunset, and use geofencing to turn lights on when they arrive. The bridge also ties Caseta into popular smart-home ecosystems, including Apple HomeKit and Siri, Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. A single bridge supports up to 75 devices including itself, and Caseta devices should be within 30 feet of the bridge. For projects that need integration with professional A/V or security control systems, choose the Smart Bridge PRO (L-BDGPRO2-WH) instead.
