Tools & Requirements
Installation Steps
Connect Bridge to Router
Connect the Lutron Smart Bridge to an available Ethernet port on your home's Wi-Fi router using the included Ethernet cable. This physical connection is required for the bridge to communicate with your network and the Lutron cloud service for remote access.
Power Up the Bridge
Plug the included power adapter into a nearby wall outlet and connect it to the Smart Bridge. The LED light on the bridge will turn on and blink as it boots up. Wait for the light to become solid, indicating it has successfully connected to your network.
Add Bridge in Lutron App
Download and open the Lutron app on your smartphone. Create an account and sign in. Tap to add a new device and select 'Smart Bridge'. The app will automatically discover the bridge on your network. Press the button on the back of the bridge when prompted.
Add Caseta Devices
Once the bridge is set up, you can add your Caseta dimmers, switches, and Pico remotes. In the app, go to 'Add Device' and select the type of device you want to add. The app will guide you through the simple pairing process for each one.
