Apologies for starting a new thread for what is clearly a simple question but I cannot find the answer anywere: Does the smart bridge only use a hardwired ethernet connection? It does not have Wi-Fi capability?Thanks

Correct - ethernet only, no wifi

Thanks Hydro.This is disappointing.Hi Lutron folks: can you please bring your bridge into the 20th Century?

I'm curious to know why you feel you need WiFi on the bridge. Since it is best to put the bridge in a central location (like WiFi) it seems perfectly logical to have it next to (and plugged into) the WiFi equipment.

Agreed! Plus, a wired connection is always more reliable than wifi.
