What is a Lutron hub
The Smart Hub and Lutron App allow you to monitor and operate Lutron Caséta Wireless dimmers, Serena motorized shades, and a variety of other products via an internet connected device such as a smartphone, smart watch, tablet or smart speaker.
Do I need a Lutron hub if I have a smart things hub
What Lutron hardware is required to work with SmartThings You'll need a Lutron Smart Bridge or Smart Bridge PRO (any generation), and at least one Lutron dimmer or Lutron shade.
What is better Zigbee or Z-Wave
Zigbee is faster, hands down, when it uses its 2.4 GHz frequency. The problem is, you sacrifice power consumption for speed. So, you may need to change the batteries in your smart devices more often. Z-Wave is less than half as fast, but at least you can wait a little longer to change out the batteries.
What is the range of Lutron Smart Hub
60 foot
Hub and Repeater must be within the 60 foot range of each other. Lamp Dimmer (range extender) must be within 30 foot range of either the Hub or the Repeater.
What is the range of the Lutron Caseta hub
Extend your Caséta system range up to 60 feet.
How many switches can a Lutron hub support
Supports up to 75 wireless devices (Caséta Wireless dimmers, plug-in dimmers, and switches, Pico remote controls, wireless shades).
How many switches can Lutron hub control
A: The Lutron App allows users to pair up to 75 devices to one Caseta Smart Bridge (in-wall dimmers/switches, fan controls, pico, shades, plug ins, etc.)
What is the disadvantage of Z-Wave
Following are the disadvantages of Z-wave: ➨The coverage is limited and hence requires more z-wave devices to cover larger region. This increases the overall cost if more z-wave repeaters or routers are employed. ➨The technology requires knowledge to keep it secure from unauthorized people.
Is Zigbee being phased out
The IoT technology known as Zigbee isn't going away, but the Zigbee Alliance is rebranding to a new name and focus: the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA). The Zigbee Alliance has been around for almost 20 years, and it's well-established as a global standards organization for IoT.
How many devices can Lutron hub support
75 Caseta devices
Control up to 75 Caseta devices with the Lutron Smart Bridge.
How many Lutron devices can be on a hub
Supports up to 75 wireless devices (Caséta Wireless dimmers, plug-in dimmers, and switches, Pico remote controls, wireless shades).
How can you expand the range of a caseta system
With the Caseta Smart Wireless Repeater by Lutron, you can now extend the range of your Caseta system up to 60 ft. Use the included power adapter to plug the repeater into an outlet within 60 ft. of your Caseta smart bridge in room where coverage can be problematic – no extra ethernet connection required.
What is the range of Lutron Caseta hub
The RF range of the Caseta Hub is 30 feet in all directions (Up, Down, Left, Right). In some homes there are devices that will extend beyond this range where in there will be a need for a Caseta Repeater or the use of a Caseta Plug in Lamp dimmer as a range extender.
Is Z-Wave better than Wi-Fi
Z-Wave operates on a completely different wireless frequency that will not conflict with your Wi-Fi network signal. Z-Wave is a mesh technology that strengthens the network with several connected devices. Z-wave is popular as smart-property technology, powering locks, lights, sensors, thermostats, etc.
Is Z-Wave safer than Wi-Fi
Z-wave uses much less power than WiFi. That means that it's possible to use battery-powered Z-wave devices without worrying about having to change the batteries frequently. Z-wave is also more secure since it's more of a closed system and can offer some additional layers of protection.
Is Z-Wave being discontinued
Earlier this month, the Z-Wave Alliance ceased to exist as a for-profit group and is officially an SDO or Standards Development Organization. That doesn't change the way Z-Wave products work today although it could in the future.
Is Z-Wave still used
Today, Z-Wave-certified devices are used for remote control and management in a variety of smart home and IoT devices and applications, including smart thermostats, smart locks, smart lighting, smart sensors, smart plugs and outlets, and smart home hubs.
How many switches can Lutron hub handle
A: The Lutron App allows users to pair up to 75 devices to one Caseta Smart Bridge (in-wall dimmers/switches, fan controls, pico, shades, plug ins, etc.)

Is there a monthly fee for Z-Wave
Control Plan – $9.99/month
Enroll unlimited Z-Wave devices. Enroll unlimited lighting controls.
Should I use Z-Wave or Wi-Fi
Z-Wave is a low-power mesh network technology. It operated in the range of 800-900 MHz band. Compared to Wi-Fi and Zigbee, Z-Wave has the greatest non-line of sight range because it has a lower frequency. It means it sacrifices bandwidth to achieve short sight range.
Is there a difference between Z-Wave and Z-Wave Plus
Z-Wave items are the first generation of these devices and Z-Wave Plus items are the newest generation of Z-Wave devices. Z-Wave Plus devices have 50% more wireless range, 250% faster processor, 400% more memory, 50% more energy efficiency and they support wireless upgrades.
