What is Reddit's opinion of Lutron Caséta Wireless Smart Fan Speed Control Switch, Single-Pole, PD-FSQN-WH, White?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

You are likely never going to see rotary knobs because they would require a stepper motor to move the knob to the right position whenever speed changes are done remotely. Just like you don't see any smart old-school rocker switches that stay up or down based on on/off. Everything is momentary toggles.

I guess somebody could make a momentary rotary knob that you jog left or right for faster/slower. But that wouldn't be a very good analog for what people are used to, so not much reason for it.

If you can give up on the rotary part, there are lots of options. THis one does fans and lights.

Do you already have Caseta switches elsewhere in the house? If so, why not just use a Caseta fan fan control on the fan switch and a standard Caseta switch/dimmer on the light switch?

Such a thing does exist. Get one of these and pair it with a Lutron Pico remote (looks like a mini version of the wall control):

Ah ok so that won’t work. I don’t have much of an answer for your 3-way set up but here are some alternative suggestions to explore: - how much do you need the 3 way setup? Can you turn it into a 2 way, ignore the second switch and then install 2 separate switches, where your now one switch is, for high and low? (assuming there are separate wires or you have the ability to run) - I was searching for a similar solution when I installed my ceiling fans and the best dedicated smart switch I could find was from Lutron . I decided against it because Lutron has their own protocol which means yet another hub in the house. It is highly rated though.

I use Lutron Caseta Wireless Smart Fan Switch. It's easy to install. A little expensive but it's well worth the price. It integrates with more ecosystems like Google, Apple, Alexa, and more. It adds value to the house. Buy a pico remote and you can turn it on and off laying down. Assuming you don't have voice automation set up.

You can attach one of dozens of wifi smart controllers to your fans. Decide what features you want and choose. This is one version. Mine links in into our home HVAC.

BOND SUCKS!

Looks like it's really two switches in one. Amazon has this Lutron smart fan switch: Fan switch

A separate switch, dimmer or not, for the lights would complete the project. I didn't see a smart switch that would control both fan and light. Seems like such a thing should exist by now. I would be interested in one.

If you are not comfortable with electric wiring you probably know someone who is. It looks pretty straightforward. If you find a "combo" switch please post it.

Lutron makes a fan switch, if you want to go that route. It will work with google home, but you would have to have a separate switch for the fan and light for this to work though. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07N1GXM38/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_FzE7CbSMX6SF7

Just to reply back to this one and give you something that should help with your immediate need: https://www.amazon.ca/Lutron-Wireless-Single-Pole-PD-FSQN-WH-Assistant/dp/B07N1GXM38

They likely also sell it at the big box home centres (the orange one had it here).

I would look into this product and see if it's what you need; most ceiling fans use 1 of 2 types of wiring from what I can recall; this switch takes up 1 gang and controls both the light and the fan, assuming your fan is compatible.

As-is it would be controllable using the Lutron app, and if you get a smart bridge, you can connect it to the bigger home automation brands. The pro smart bridge is only needed if you want to be able to customize the wireless pico remotes.

They make one just for that.

The low setting is a touch too low in my opinion, but other than that it works well.

I have the Lutron Caseta Fan Switch. Works great no special wiring. Turns on off and does speed.

Is this still the way to go today (two years later)? Would this be right?

Currently two switches on the wall:

• One controls the fan. Replace with Lutron Caséta Wireless Smart Fan Speed Control Switch
• One controls the light. Replace with Lutron Caséta Wireless Smart Lighting Dimmer Switch and Remote Kit
• Buy a hub to make it controllable with app and/or Google Assistant

I replaced mine w/ https://www.amazon.com/Lutron-Wireless-Single-Pole-PD-FSQN-WH-Assistant/dp/B07N1GXM38?th=111ksor w - .

Just found the Caseta line... If the above method doesn't work, then should I get:

• 1 x Smart Fan Speed Control Switch for the fan
• 1 x Smart Home Dimmer Switch for the lights?

Exactly this. Here are the Lutron Fan Options. Note though to be home kit compatible you need the hub too.

If you want to integrate with other home automation such as Hubitat, you’ll need the Pro Bridge: https://www.amazon.com/Lutron-Caseta-L-BDGPRO2-WH-SmartBridge-Programmed/dp/B00Z8AXQCQ/ref=sr_1_1?crid=4DCQML1MEABM&dchild=1&keywords=caseta+bridge+pro+2&qid=1634185294&sr=8-1

Thanks for explaining all this to me.

Eitherway any fan switch with dimmer on amazon like the Lutron Maestro is for 54 bucks. I dont like the looks of the other non-smart fan switches with dimmer where the slider looks old school from a county hospital (ease for the patients to turn up or down the fan controls).

I think the model here is without PICO?

Will this work, if i plan to add a single bridge for 5 fans?

That's an interesting option. It doesn't seem to have a fan direction switch, but it might work well enough for what I want.

Thanks!

I just bought the Caseta and installed it in my apartment, it’s perfect! I’ve included everything you’ll need to control any DC fan below. If you use Philips Hue as your lightbulb, you won’t need a dimmer, but that combo I linked is cheaper than the bridge alone. Since I already had Philips Hue, I just kept the switch installed and bought a 2-gang wall plate with a single decora cutout and only installed the fan control unit. Hope this helps!

Yes.

I use these with my fans. You can pair the Pico remotes for the fan controller and have a remote anywhere you want it.

I haven’t personally used it but this should do what you want.

You have two options:

Use Lutron's fan controller and don't use your smart fan capabilities. You would effectively be trading your smart fan controls for Lutron's.

Fan control: https://www.amazon.com/Lutron-Wireless-Single-Pole-PD-FSQN-WH-Assistant/dp/B07N1GXM38/

Fan Pico: https://www.amazon.com/Lutron-Remote-Wireless-Control-PJ2-3BRL-WH-F01R/dp/B07NQDT39V/

If you want to keep your smart fan controls, but still have a switch to turn the circuit on and off, you can use Lutron's non-dimming switch. It can still be controlled by the Lutron app (if you have a bridge), as well as pair Pico switches for multiple locations.

Unfortunately there is no all in one switch to control the fan and light at the same time but lutron makes a smart fan speed switch below
