QuestionHI I need a Lutron Caseta Switch MODEL NUMBER PD-5WS-DV-WH (WHITE COLOR). I'm not sure I have neutral wire inside the wall. My model number here and product description, model number looks different. Can I use this switch for NO neutral installation?
Asked 6 years ago by AP.
- Answer According to Lutron's product specs, the model number you specify does support installation without a neutral wire, but the trade off is that it has a minimum load requirement that you must meet. (http://www.lutron.com/TechnicalDocumentLibrary/369831_ENG.pdf) This best buy product listing is for the 5ANS, which requires a neutral wire. The NS in the model number stands for Neutral Switch.

QuestionWhat makes this switch wireless?
Asked 4 years ago by Jello.
- Answer The wireless aspect is for remote control using Caseta's hub, which you would have to purchase separately and connect to your home network. The switch itself connects to standard household wiring, but through a wireless connection to the hub you can control the lights from smartphone, operate them on a schedule, etc.

QuestionI have two porch lights, with LED bulbs, connecting to one switch - can this switch handle that?
Asked 5 years ago by Walter.
- Answer Yes, the PD-5ANS would be able to control this lighting circuit. The PD-5ANS is a neutral-required switch, so Lutron recommends ensuring you have a neutral wire available in the wall box prior to installation.

QuestionCan this be used with a Caseta remote to serve as a three-way switch? If so, what remote goes with it?
Asked 6 years ago by Carlvz.
- Answer The PD-5ANS can be used in a 3-way application. At the second location, you could either leave the existing mechanical switch or put a Pico remote in its place. If you opt for the mechanical switch, the wiring will need to be altered, and you can view a diagram of that here: http://www.lutron.com/TechnicalDocumentLibrary/368-4493_Page_34.pdf. If you choose the Pico remote option, then refer to the wiring diagram here: http://www.lutron.com/TechnicalDocumentLibrary/368-4493_Page_33.pdf. For a suggestion on which Pico remote to use, please reach out to our Support Team at [email protected] or by phone at 1 (844) 588-7661.

QuestionI have a pull chain ceiling fan that has 3 speeds and can also be turned on/off by a switch on the wall. It also has lights attached to it and there is a separate chain to pull for the lights. Can this work to turn the fan on/off?
Asked 3 years ago by Ihatemyhp.
- Answer The PD-5ANS is a digital on/off switch rated to control 5A of lighting or 3A fan motor. In order to use this device in your application, you would need to install the PD-5ANS in place of the On/Off switch that came with your fan. This way you can control power to your fan using the PD-5ANS and cycle through the speeds of your fan using the pull chains. If you have additional questions, please reach out to our Support Team at [email protected] or give us a call at 1-844-LUTRON1.

Asked 3 years ago by NB.
- Answer The PD-5ANS-WH-R, is rated for ( 5 amps ) of switching on & off, and the PD-6ANS-WH is rated for ( 6 amps ) of switching on and off. They differ in price by approximately ( $ 10.00 ), so in 99 % of cases, the ( PD-5ANS-WH-R ) should be sufficient.
