Lutron Debuts New Diva Smart Dimmer With ELV+, Additional Pico Paddle Remote Colors

Smart home company Lutron today announced a few new additions to its Caséta line of products, expanding the range of lighting options available to consumers.

For professional installers, there is now a Diva smart dimmer with ELV+ technology, offering smart control for low-voltage applications like under-cabinet lighting, track lights, and accent lights. The dimmer works with ELV devices and with nearly all residential lighting types and loads, such as LED, MLV, incandescent, and halogen.

Like the Smart Dimmer Switch for ELV+ Lighting, the Diva version uses phase-selectable dimming to enable dimming across a range of load types. Installers can select between forward or reverse-phase dimming in the Lutron app or when installing the light.

The Diva smart dimmer with ELV+ is available in white, ivory, light almond, black, brown, and gray to match other switches and outlets in the home.

Lutron is also introducing new color options for the Pico Paddle Remote, which was previously only available in white. The Pico Paddle Remote now comes in white, ivory, light almond, black, brown, and gray, much like other Caséta accessories.

The Pico Paddle Remote can control Caséta smart switches and dimmers and Serena smart shades and fans, adding extra control options for lights and smart home products. The Pico Paddle Remotes have a 10-year battery life and do not require a hub, app, or Wi-Fi for operation.

The Diva smart dimmer ELV+ and new Pico Paddle Remote options are available through electrical distributors and online retailers that carry Caséta controls.

If you are installing "smart" lithing in a client's house and do not want a "job for life" (that is were the client calls you twice a week for the rest of your life to fix something.). My advice is to use ONLY Lutron of Philips Hue. How to choose depends on if you want color changing lights, if so go with Hue. full color can be a gimik or for parties but Hue color-temperture adjustable lights are almost a requirement now.

Of course if installing a few lights in your own house and you need a hoby to keep you busy then install 10 different brands of WiFi based junk and listen you your wife ask "Why don't the kitchen lights work?" and you say "Oh just re-boot the router and it will be fine."

The better brands are 2x or 3x the price and worth it. Lutron is VERY reliable.

Same for me. I started in early 2017 and all of those switches are still working perfectly.

Lutron isn't a "smart home" company really. They're a light control company that's been around since 1961, and they happen to be making smart switches and dimmers now.

But disagree on Philips Hue.

I've used Philips Hue on three different homes and they have been unreliable. Not as bad as say, Wemo. But fails often enough (several times a year), and several lightbulbs failed within few years, that it's on my permanent banned list.
your experience differs from my own, and from most, from what i’ve read online. i’ve never had reliability issues w my hue system, and i’ve got hue bulbs that i’ve had for 12 years that still function just like they did day 1.
