Lutron App 4+

If Apple Watch troubles Update app

EDIT: their last update when installed fixed the issue :) I love the Lutron system, so reliable, besides this temporary Watch issue, never any issues.

The Lutron app was working on my Apple Watch for half a year perfectly. Now for the past month I get this error “Please use the Lutron app on your phone to configure this home for your Zappel Watch.” So I go to the app and the Watch is already enabled under settings. There is nothing else to “configure “ besides turning the slider to on/off and which scenes/devices are enabled. To troubleshoot I go to the Apple Watch app, and remove Lutron as an app installed on the phone. Then I install Lutron back to the phone, and voila! It works again. But it only works one time. The next time I try to use Lutron app on the Watch, I get the same error again. I’ve been thru this cycle 4-5 times now. Please help fix the Watch app issue and I’m happy to turn this review back to 5 stars! I use the Watch app daily it’s more convenient than the phone app.

Caseta switches are great. App User interface could be improved

I’ve been a long time user of the Caseta dimmer switches and think that they’re great. Very reliable and easy to install as they’re one of the only switches that don’t require a neutral wire. The little chiclet remotes are are a great way to control the lights, and I also make use of the geofencing in the app. The Sonos integration is a nice little touch too. The one thing that developers could do to improve the app would be to change the interface so that touching the appropriate icon would turn the light on or off, and a long hold or firm touch of the ‘button’ would bring up the slider for the dimming function. This is how Wink controls lights.

As it is currently the app requires too many taps on the screen just to turn a light on or off- tap to expand the room list, tap the light to bring up the dimming slider, then tap or hold a button to dim or turn on and off. That’s overly involved.

Also it was easy for me to name and control lights with Alexa when doing so through Wink. Not so much with the Lutron app. Users should be given more ability to control naming of lights, and use of icons rather than the somewhat rigid and limited selection within the app.

Ответ разработчика ,

Thank you, we are taking your feedback into consideration! For the ability to rename your lights, please try selecting the light from the home screen and choosing Edit Device.

Highly recommend the Caseta System

I’m very happy with the new CasetaSwitches and the ability to add a additional smart bridge on my same property at my Pool house which is over 100 feet from my homeThat my original SmartBridge had trouble connecting to the devices at the pool house now everything works perfectly. I am a electrician and used to use the X 10 switches which had issues in high end residential areas where the neighbors also had the X 10 and if they programmed there a setting on the X 10 which happened many of times The neighbor and my client were both controlling the light at my clients house. So anyways I’m very happy that the upgraded to a better system which is the Caseta .👍
This system could also be linked to other systems like Ring so if your ring camera senses someone in your backyard or wherever you can program it to turn on any device that you have a Caseta installed
