The secret Pico remotes Lutron doesn't want you to know about

I just discovered that Lutron sells several Caseta-compatible Pico remotes that don't appear *anywhere* on the Caseta website at https://www.casetawireless.com/products/pico-remotes. There's a Pico controller with a nightlight (taking the 10 year battery life down to 3), and several four-button Picos that can control multiple lights, shades, and scenes in a variety of configurations. https://www.lutron.com/en-US/Product.../Overview.aspx You can even get four button Picos with custom-screen printing, so the buttons will be labeled with whatever you want! These are great options to have, but they seem to exist on a need-to-know basis and aren't easily found for sale. I definitely would have made some different choices in my Caseta purchases and configurations if I'd known these were options, though.

If you go to lutron.com and select Products, Caseta Wireless... they are all hiding in plain sight. This is probably a better tool for helping design a system.

Yeah, it's just kind of a mess. For example, the Serena controls, Serena Picos, and nightlight Picos don't appear on the casetawireless.com site *or* the Caseta section of lutron.com, but they do appear on the Pico section of Lutron.com. That leaves us with three different places a new Caseta owner would need to look to get the full picture of what's available. Four if you include serenashades.com.

I agree. Lutron needs to make access to all available / workable Picos, more user friendly. It took me forever to research and locate the Picos I needed for my Caséta System. Especially since the Caséta System is geared as a End User Installed system. I’ve been usin Lutron products for 30 + years, so I knew I could find what I was looking for to build my system. Attached is a listing of Lighting Control Picos. This list does not include the Shade Picos. Hope this helps

Where can I order custom engraved Picos? Is there anywhere online that will do this? Looking to get 1-3 made.

The catalog isn't very clear on how to order custom engraving. It just says to "Contact Lutron Customer Service". I guess there's no way to order them online? You have to pick up a phone and talk to a person? Like ordering software in the 90s.

Hello there,

You can get the Lutron Pico Engraving Sheets here : https://www.lutron.com/en-US/Service...rodn=RadioRA+2

the Pico Forms are at the bottom under Keypads. they are in PDF forms. What I did is download the PDF, then create my own "Fill In Form" on top of theirs. this allowed me to fill in all of their information, plus add more detail / specific information. I wanted very specific naming and spacing on my buttons.

I hope this helps

Thanks! Circling back after missing this when you first posted. Did you send the form directly to Lutron or go through a dealer?

You send the Custom Engraving Sheet / Form through a Dealer or an Electrical Distributor.

Here's the Ordering Process

1. First you decide on the Pico Model you want
2. Place the Order with the Dealer / Electrical Distributor
3. Give / Send them the Custom Engraving Sheet / Form
4. They then place the order to Lutron

Very helpful list!

There's also a "4 Group Shade Remote," also listed as "4-Group RF Remote Control," for controlling four Serena Shades (Honeycomb and Roller Shades, but not Wood Blinds) at once. It's bigger than a Pico remote.

I don't have one but I found it when looking up some info on Serena shades.
