Lutron Smart Lighting - Radio Ra3 vs Lutron Caseta

One thing that MANY of our clients have been asking about is the category of smart home lighting and particularly, smart home lights by Lutron. After seeing a few very questionable and vague interactions between clients and electricians trying to explain the benefits of Lutron smart lights, we felt we needed to add some clarification to this category.
We discuss the benefits of Lutron's smart lighting options including Lutron Homeworks, Lutron Radio Ra3 and Lutron Caseta in the video and in our link below.

[@77Necro]

your audio seems swapped when listening.

[@airetheaterdesigns]

Sounds good here. Try on another device. Thanks for letting us know.

[@DanielArnold1]

Left & Right mics are swapped. Blue T shirt in right ear. Polo shirt in left ear. A bit disorienting

[@airetheaterdesigns]

@@DanielArnold1 What are these strange words "left" and "right" you speak of?
P.S. Thanks for the input! We'll pay attention to that.

Is RA3 only for white bulbs or it can control color ones as well? You mentioned you don't recommend Philips hue for the whole house. What color bulbs would you recommend that go along with RA3?

[@airetheaterdesigns]

RA 3 doesn't work to control color bulbs. RA 3 controls the dimming/switching but not the Kelvins. Some guys are recommending warm glow bulbs with Lutron to provide some natural lighting as the daylight subsides.
We don't recommend using Philip Hue or the like for whole-house lighting as the mechanisms/apps to control these aren't as robust or reliable as you see with Lutron. I think Lutron Hue is great for a light or area but I would think very hard before flopping in 100 of these.

What is the Lutron solution for smart outlets that handle more than 2 pronged plugs?

[@airetheaterdesigns]

Offhand I don't know of any smart outlets that Lutron makes. They make devices that are smart that plug into standard AC outlets. All of their devices have a ground. There are other manufacturers that make smart outlets (ex: Leviton).

@@airetheaterdesigns, many thanks.

[@JamesWHurst]

Yeah, great video - starting off by talking about killing a coyote.

[@constructionconcepts8849]

Yep, two minutes in, and still talking about everything EXCEPT smart lighting.
