Lutron DVRF-BDG-1DP-A Caseta Diva Smart Dimmer Starter Kit with Hub and Pico Remote

At 3.5 x 6.38 x 2.38 inches, the Lutron Caseta Diva Smart Dimmer Starter Kit brings dimming and smart controls to compatible existing lights. The kit includes a Diva dimmer, Smart Hub, Pico remote, and tabletop pedestal. Use the remote from a nightstand or add a wireless control point for a 3-way setup. It’s designed for dimmable lights on 120-volt wiring and does not require a neutral wire.

What you’ll notice day to day

The classic Diva paddle gives you a familiar way to turn lights on, off, and adjust brightness, while the Pico remote adds control from elsewhere in the room. Set the remote on its pedestal for a convenient bedside or tabletop control, or use it as the wireless second control point in a 3-way arrangement without running wire to that location. The dimmer can also work with existing dimmable bulbs, so the lighting setup does not depend on replacing them with smart bulbs.

The included Smart Hub connects the dimmer to app, remote, and voice controls. Through the Lutron app, you can manage lights and set scenes, schedules, geofencing, Smart Away, and timers. The system is compatible with amazon Alexa, Apple Home, Google Home, Ring, and Sonos, giving you options for fitting lighting into a broader smart-home routine. For someone who wants a simple local wall control, the paddle and Pico cover everyday adjustments, for someone who wants scheduled or voice-based control, the hub and app provide those additional ways to manage the lights.

Key takeaways

This is a starter kit rather than a standalone dimmer: the Smart Hub and Pico remote are part of the package, along with a pedestal for placing the remote on a table. The Diva switch supports single-pole and 3-way circuits, and the Pico offers a wireless way to add another control location. The dimmer uses existing home wiring without a neutral wire and is rated for 120 volts and up to 150 watts. Its LED+ dimming technology is intended for dimmable LED lighting, while app and voice control depend on connecting the system with a supported smart-home service.

Buyer feedback often highlights the straightforward setup, appearance, and usefulness of the remote. Opinions are more mixed on dimming and compatibility, some buyers report flickering with an MLV driver or trouble connecting the Smart Bridge. If you’re selecting the dimmer for a particular fixture, match it to the fixture’s dimmable lighting and driver setup.

Tips for day-to-day use

Choose a control layout around how you use the room: keep the wall paddle as the main switch, place the Pico pedestal by a bed or sofa, or mount the Pico at a second location for wireless 3-way control. The remote can turn lights on or off and raise or lower brightness. For app routines or voice commands, connect the Smart Hub to a supported service and use the Lutron app to configure scenes and schedules. This kit is intended for a 120-volt dimmer installation with compatible dimmable lights.

Buying verdict

The Lutron Caseta Diva kit brings together a familiar paddle dimmer, hub-based smart control, and a portable Pico remote in one setup. It suits a room where you want to dim existing lights, add convenient control near a bed or seating area, or create a second 3-way control point without running wire there. A solid pick if you want both hands-on wall control and app, remote, or supported voice options from the same smart lighting system.
