I would like to start swapping out old light switches with smart switches that will work with Google Home. I've checked a few existing switches and I don't have a neutral wire (built in 74), so that's how I've landed on the Lutron Caseta product line. A few questions...
1. I see there's a standard and pro version of the hub. Can I do what I've described above using the standard hub? When is the pro version necessary?
2. Is it common to need a repeater? My house is three levels counting the basement, about 1200 sq ft on each level.
3. I've found that the following models do not require a neutral: PD-5WS, PD-6WCL, DVRF-6L and PD-10NXD. All of these models are dimmer switches. For now I would be swapping out switches that feed existing lighting circuits that are not currently on dimmers. Does Lutron make a smart switch - no neutral required - without dimming? Or is possible to disable the dimming function somehow? Or, if only dimming switches are available, what types of lights can't go on a dimmer switch?
Any advice would be appreciated :)
