Erik Anderson, national sales manager for Lutron Electronics, explains that the<br />

Caseta Wireless is very retrofittable into existing homes. "All you have to do is take<br />

your existing dimmer or switch out of the wall and repla<strong>ce</strong> it with a Caseta dimmer<br />

or switch, add a smart bridge and you have the ability to control it from an app, or<br />

from voi<strong>ce</strong> control with Alexa, Google Assistant or Siri," says Anderson.<br />

For added ease, Lutron's Caseta Wireless system can be integrated with Apple,<br />

Amazon or Google platforms for use inside your home. And when you are outside,<br />

an app or geofencing allows you to adjust your inside and/or outside lights, even<br />

before you arrive home. That will make your home welcoming to you and your<br />

guests.<br />
