These counts describe the available data, not a quality score. More features do not automatically make a better device.
Consider your setup
Confirm which features appear in Apple Home and whether extra hardware or a subscription is needed for your intended use.
Inspect the specificationsConsider your setup
Check the integration method, supported model and firmware. A catalog Yes does not establish local control or official support.
Inspect the specificationsConsider your setup
Confirm the exact device type and the features exposed in your chosen platform. Protocol support does not establish feature parity across apps.
Inspect the specificationsYour priorities, side by side
Mark the specifications you care about. Open manufacturer sources for verification scope; fields without citations remain catalog data. Expand notes for other qualifications.

The dimmer reaches the Lutron Smart Hub, Pico remotes and Caseta motion sensors over Lutron's own Clear Connect RF rather than Wi-Fi, which is why the lights keep responding when the router is down
The manufacturer requires a Zigbee hub.
Sonoff Orb-ZBRBS Zigbee Smart Roller Shutter Wall Switch — manufacturer product description →Check the specified variant, required hub and installation instructions. Manufacturer claims are not independent performance tests.
Document check only; not a hands-on test or verification of every regional or firmware variant.
Zigbee 3.0 on an EFR32MG21 MCU. It is a Zigbee end device that also repeats the mesh for nearby devices, but it still needs a coordinator such as a SONOFF ZBBridge-P, ZBBridge-U, NSPanel Pro, iHost or a ZBDongle-P/-E.
Lutron documents that the Diva's status LED can be switched on or off from the Lutron app (it is on by default), and the same screen adjusts the dimmer's high-end and low-end trim
Scenes, schedules, geofencing and Smart Away from the Lutron app, plus up to 10 Pico remotes or Caseta motion sensors paired directly to the dimmer with no hub at all
Schedules, timers, quick percentage presets and smart scenes run through the eWeLink app or the Zigbee gateway, and Zigbee local scenes keep working when the internet is down.
Power failure memory: should power be interrupted, the control returns to the level it was set to before the interruption
A white soft-glow light bar runs beside the slider and shows the light level, which is what makes the dimmer readable in a dark room
The device carries a blue LED indicator: steady for online, slow flashing in pairing mode, quick flashing on an abnormal gateway connection and breathing mode during calibration.
The dimmer is wired to the load it controls; the wire-free half of the system is the separate Pico remote or the Claro accessory switch
Lutron lists Amazon Alexa among the platforms Caseta works with, through the Lutron Smart Hub
SONOFF's product page shows the eWeLink app linking to Amazon Alexa, and the knowledge center lists Alexa among the third-party platforms for voice control.
Lutron lists Apple Home among the platforms Caseta works with; the Apple Home technology sits in the smart hub, so Siri controls the dimmer once it is paired to one
The Orb-ZBRBS has no native HomeKit profile. Its knowledge center documents adding it to Apple Home through a software-based Matter bridge, the eWeLink CUBE or a SONOFF Zigbee Bridge Ultra.
Lutron lists Google Assistant among the platforms Caseta works with, through the Lutron Smart Hub
SONOFF's product page shows the eWeLink app linking to Google Home, and the knowledge center lists Google Home among the third-party platforms the device syncs to through the eWeLink cloud.
The core Lutron Caseta integration connects to the Lutron Caseta Smart Hub (L-BDG2-WH) and exposes wall dimmers as lights
SONOFF documents Home Assistant for this model both through the eWeLink account and directly over Zigbee using ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT with a ZBDongle-P/-E.
The CSA certified-product database holds no Matter certification for Lutron (only three Zigbee 3.0 Aurora dimmers), and Lutron's own Caseta compatibility page never mentions Matter
The switch itself is Zigbee, not Matter. Its product page documents reaching the Matter ecosystem through a SONOFF Zigbee bridge such as the ZBBridge-U or eWeLink CUBE.
Lutron lists Samsung SmartThings among the platforms Caseta works with, through the Lutron Smart Hub
Via Matter: the Orb-ZBRBS is published to Matter by a SONOFF Zigbee bridge (ZBBridge-U or eWeLink CUBE), and SmartThings is a certified Matter controller, so it can control the shutter from that fabric.
Operating voltage 120 V~ 50/60 Hz, listed for the DVRF-6L in Lutron's Caseta load controls specification submittal
The specification table rates the switch at 100-240V~ 50/60Hz 1A Max, and the motor requirements say the roller shutter motor must be an AC 100-240V unit drawing less than 1A.
Dimmable CFL up to 150 W, listed alongside LED in the derating chart of the Diva's own installation guide
No capacitive load support is documented; the device is specified only for AC roller shutter motors.
Dimmable LED rated for 120 V~, up to 150 W with Lutron's LED+ forward-phase dimming
The switch drives a 4-wire or 5-wire AC roller shutter motor through its Lout1 and Lout2 terminals, which is an inductive motor load.
The specification table rates the device at 1A Max, and SONOFF's motor requirements state the roller shutter motor must draw less than 1A.
Simple two-wire installation, so no neutral wire is needed in the wallbox
SONOFF's FAQ answers it directly: the Orb-ZBRBS requires a neutral wire for proper installation and operation.
Incandescent and halogen loads, 25 W minimum and 600 W maximum when the dimmer is not ganged
The Orb-ZBRBS is a roller shutter controller built for AC tubular motors; the product page and knowledge center document motor loads only, not resistive loads such as heaters or incandescent bulbs.
600 W single gang, derated to 500 W in a double gang and 400 W in a triple gang wallbox
SONOFF requires an external 1A Miniature Circuit Breaker or RCBO upstream of the switch; the device itself documents no overcurrent protection.
The dimmer has an Over Temperature Protection (OTP) mode: it drops the load and blinks the light bar four times when it runs too hot, typically after being overloaded or ganged without derating
SONOFF's FAQ says the motor must not run in one direction for more than 2 minutes, after which the device automatically enters a stop state to prevent overheating and damage.
An overload is caught by the thermal protection rather than by a separate power cutoff, so exceeding the wattage rating is prevented by the derating chart, not by the dimmer
No overpower protection is listed; the documented safeguard is the automatic stop after 2 minutes of continuous travel.
Lutron documents surge withstand testing to IEEE C62.41-1991, which is immunity rather than a protective cutoff, and claims no overvoltage protection function
No surge or overvoltage cut-off is documented for the Orb-ZBRBS.
