GE Zigbee dimmer switch and outlet plugs vs Lutron Caseta

I went with Caseta switches with the bridge over the GE. One big thing to me is that the GE switches are “maximum Spec” in size. If your electrical box is a challenge, like some of mine were, there was no way to get the GE switch in there. I was pulling out small manual switches and there was simply not enough space for the wires, wirenuts and pass-through wiring plus the huge GE brick of a switch!. The Caseta switches are a lot smaller. And the bonus was, I didn’t even need to “wire” in the 3 and 4 way switches as they were all wireless. Plus, I was able to add a “gang” to a switch location by slapping a Pico on the sheetrock and upgrading to the next gang size switchplate. The standalone remotes are wonderful.

I also liked the telephone tech help. Easy to reach and they seem to be able to handle every question that you can throw at them.

After 6 months, they are “bulletproof”. No issues! Great integration with SmartThings and Alexa.
