A summary of selected recorded differences between these wall switches. Check the full specification table below for details and conditions.
Feature differences among your selected devices
- 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi (connectivity): Lutron Caseta Original Smart Dimmer Switch — No (The dimmer talks to the Lutron Smart Hub, Pico remotes and motion sensors over Lutron's own Clear Connect RF technology instead of Wi-Fi, which is why the lights keep responding when the router is down); TP-Link Kasa HS200 — Yes.
- Neutral Required (power): Lutron Caseta Original Smart Dimmer Switch — No (Two-wire dimmer designed for retrofit, so no neutral wire is needed in the wallbox); TP-Link Kasa HS200 — Yes.
