    Need help choosing switches

    So, I'm ready to purchases some switches to round out my upcoming Caseta install.

    Here in Canada, on Amazon, I can purchase either:


    • PD-6ANS-WH for $71.45 CDN
    • P-PKG1WS-WH-C for $69.95 CDN


    The later is a kit that comes with a PICO and a wall mount bracket. I can't find out which switch actually comes with the kit. Is it the PD-6ANS-WH, the other PD-5ANS or something else? If it's the 5ANS, I understand that it's 5A vs 6A and it's now discontinued. That said, given that I need a bunch of picos anyway, am I really going to notice that much difference on a typical lighting circuit (ie. 5A vs 6A)? Any other reason to buy the newer one that I could be missing?

    Thanks for any advice!

    I believe the kit comes with the PD-5ANS on/off switch. The difference between the PD-5ANS vs. the PD-6ANS is 1 amp or another 120 watts.
