About to make my first purchase, unsure about wiring..
Hi there,
I'm currently renovating my apartment and I'm looking at upgrading the lighting system to something I can control with Siri.
I did some research and found Lutron, however, I still have a few questions that maybe someone can help me with please.
Here is what I'm thinking of buying:
1x https://www.amazon.com/Lutron-Wirele.../dp/B01M3XJUAD
4x https://www.amazon.com/P-PKG1W-WH-Wi...+Dimmer+Switch
question 1) I am just confirming, but the 4 separate switches I plan on buying should all be compatible with the hub in the starter kit right? (The model numbers dont appear the same in the links above o_O)
Both products state something along the lines of:

- Dimmer switches install in 3 steps in about 15 minutes and are an ideal solution, even for older homes, as they do not require a neutral wire
question 2) I took out a light switch in my apartment and found there were two cables connected to the back of it (i forgot the colours though). Will the switches above work with my existing wiring?
Just in case: I'm in Australia and I do plan on having an electrician install this stuff, I just want to make sure I purchase the right product.
Thanks for your help

All of those dimmers would work with the Caseta bridge.
Two MAJOR things to note:
1. All of those devices are 120Vac, whereas Australia uses 230Vac.
2. You can't download the Caseta app in Australia. According to the Caseta FAQ page at http://www.casetawireless.com/Pages/FAQs.aspx:
In which countries can I buy and use Caséta Wireless?
Caséta Wireless is currently available in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Ecuador, Panama, and the Dominican Republic.
