Overview
Lutron Lutron Pico Remote setup takes under 15 minutes for most users — if you're stuck, the steps below target the specific points where installs stall.
This guide covers the installation of the Lutron Pico Remote Control, a battery-powered wireless remote that pairs with Lutron Caseta switches and dimmers. The Pico can be mounted in a wall bracket as a second switch location or used handheld, and supports single-room or whole-home scene control through the Lutron app.
Why This Happens in Real Homes
The Pico is a battery-powered wireless remote — no wiring at all — that controls Caseta devices over Clear Connect RF, and it mounts three ways: on a tabletop pedestal, a wall bracket, or snapped into a wallplate (it even fits where a Caseta dimmer would sit, as a 3-way companion). It runs on a CR2032 coin cell.
Pair and assign it in the Lutron app (that's where you tell it which lights or scene to control), activate its battery, then mount it wherever is convenient within RF range of the devices. Since it's wireless, "installation" is really pairing and placement, not wiring.
