Dimmer compatibility with Hampton Bay LED

Hi Forums,I was wondering if I could get some advice.I am trying to add a dimmer to the following light in my kitchen https://www.homedepot.com/p/Hampton-...ct-overviewThe switch I am trying to change is on a 3 way switch, there is no neutral (i think). I set it up with my caseta dimmer PD-6WCL, how there is some buzzing at max brightness. I do not actually care about the light being dimmed (just want max on and off), just want a smart switch to control it and preferably controlled by the caseta hub as I have a few other caseta switches installed.The spec sheet list the following compatible Lutron dimmers: SCL-153PR-WH, MACL-153M-WH, MSCL-OP153M-WH, DV-603PG-AL, LG-600H-WH, GL-600H-DK, TG-603PGH-WH, Is there a tweak I can do to my dimmer switch to stop the buzzing? Is there another lutron switch that integrates with caseta that would be compatible (no neutral).Thank you!

Hello. The PD-5WS-DV is a Caseta Smart Switch that does not require a neutral connection. https://www.lutron.com/TechnicalDocu...369987_ENG.pdf page 4. It does come with a LUT-MLC capacitor to use with LED and fluorescent loads. https://www.lutron.com/TechnicalDocu...94_LUT-MLC.pdf

Wow thank you! This is exactly what I needed! Actually wished I had known about this sooner!! Is there any difference between the PD-5WS-DV and the PD-5S-DV-WH ?

Yes. The PD-5WS-DV is supported in the Lutron App and System and the PD-5S-DV is not.
