Connecting Lutron Caseta to Your Smart Home Platform
Begin by ensuring your Lutron Caseta system is properly set up and connected to the Lutron app. Then, link your system to your preferred smart home platform following the specific instructions for each platform.

Enable the Lutron skill in the Alexa app. Log into your Lutron account and authorize Alexa to access your devices. Discover devices, and your Caseta dimmer will appear in the Alexa app for voice control and routines.
Syncing with Google Assistant
Open the Google Home app, go to Add > Set up device > Works with Google. Search for Lutron and link your account. Your Caseta devices will then be available for voice commands and automation routines.
Creating Automations and Scenes
Once your devices are linked, you can create automations that include your Lutron Caseta dimmer and other smart devices. Use your platform’s app or voice commands to set scenes, schedules, and triggers.
Example Automation
