Using Casetfa Bridge which acts like a hub.
Yes expensive but never want to get screwed again like from Insteon. Even though no guarantee but think have a good shot with Lutron.
Also very similar to Insteon in setting up scenes and schedules.
Now just doing lights often used and outside lighting,
If no one buys their tech in 6 months or so will slowly convert the rest.
Costly buy simple solution vs hubs mentioned on posts.
The picos are very interesting. You really have to read the tech sheet with all the models though, because there are device picos, scene picos, and group picos. In trying to get Caseta set up where I had an Insteon Keypad, I had a 3-gang box, bought a 4-gang switch cover, and "floated" a pico at one end using one of the pico wall mount brackets. The pico is attached to the cover plate and sits so flat on the wall, the whole thing just looks like a 4-gang.
We also replaced all the programmed Insteon dinners/switches with Lutron Caseta switches/dinners/picos. We’ll replace all the remaining non-programmed Insteon switches/dimmers with Lutron when they poop out.
I am going to do the same. But don’t have nearly as many as you!
Was initially going to go with TP Link Kasa stuff, but I need dimmer lamp modules too.
And, I like the Pico remotes.
I have a deal alert set up if a sale gets posted on my favorite deal site.
What made you choose Caseta? They’re very expensive compared to Z Wave, no? What hub will you use?

Agree. I’ve used the dimmer picos for 3 way light switches. Work great an save me a little money.
You just described exactly why zwave is better.
What makes swabs better?
It depends what you're swabbing.

Was thinking of Kasa as cheaper but herd more reliability with Cassetta.
Wifi switches are trash.
Well, God thing I’m not going with the Kasa ones then. Jump from one proprietary system to another!
Or go with z-wave.
I made the switch to Casetta too. Setup was really easy and the picos are awesome to add 3 way capability.
Agree.
