    The PD-5NE-xx is the BEST CASETA DIMMER period. Excels at everything the cheaper PD-6WCL-xx doesnt
    The ELV PD-5NE-xx dimmer is pricy, requires a white ‘nuetral’ wire, but it’s also the switch to get. It resolves all of the weaknesses of the cheaper Caseta dimmer (PD-6WCL-xx). I don’t know why the CNET type reviewers don’t hit on the weaknesses of the PD-6WCL-xx, the Amazon verified customers sure notice. In this review I reference the less expensive switch, but the truth is both Caseta switches are pricey.Lutron Caseta ELV PD-5NE-xx dimmer pros and cons:PROS:- Allows setting favorite or default dim lvl at switch, just as on the pico remote (not available on Caseta PD-6WCL-xx switch)- Uses white neutral wire which creates a more stable platform. Bulbs shut off without an after glow (Caseta PD-6WCL-xx has no neutral wire)- Supports a wide range of bulbs all work perfectly without flicker or hum. The bulbs I’ve tested and use include many of the vintage type dimmable LED bulbs branded and distributed by smaller companies, and I haven’t had any issues (the cheaper Caseta PD-6WCL-xx had problems with many bulbs including the vintage filament LEDs and the popular GE Reveal LEDs (note, these bulbs weren’t on Caseta’s compatible bulb list. This said, many of my bulbs not on their list have worked flawlessly for years on other dimmers using a white neutral wire).- Flawlessly dims 8 LED kitchen tube lights (Toggle model d416 direct wire )’. The Toggle LED tubes replace 4ft fluorescents using existing receptacles (bypassing ballast). WORKS PERFECTLY (did not even try the other dimmer as the manufacture recommend the upgraded dimmer)- Works with dimmable ELV, LED, MLV, incandescent and halogen bulbs – has switch to support MLV (not supported with Caseta PD-6WCL-x)- Supports the pico remotes, but must be purchased separately.- Supports 29 8.5 watt led bulbs (Caseta PD-6WCL-x supports 17 – very respectable)CONS:- Priced higher than other dimmers, and it doesn’t include a Pico remoteLEDs are terrible at matching equivalent wattage and they’re usually brighter. The nice thing about dimmers and led lighting is you can purchase really bright bulbs for those times when you need something really bright, but use a dimmer so you only get the blinding light when requested. This, more expensive dimmer, supports this concept. The cheaper Caseta does not, it turns on at the switch at max brightness, and this is the main problem people have with the less expensive switch.Before buying Caseta look into the differences and consider spending the extra on the PD-5NE-xx switch. If it’s too much, you may want to research other products. I’ve read about people who purchased 20 of the cheaper switches, based on smart switch reviews, and ended up switching them out for the pricier model.The price is an obstacle, but the performance excels. I hope this helps you in your purchase.

    Works well, corrects problems I had with other brand dimmers.
    I am trying to update some of my recessed lighting controls to add dimming from ordinary switches while also adding some ability to control it remotely. I had gone through 2 different brands of zwave dimmers and 4 different led bulbs before arriving at these. The first dimmer I tried didn’t have a low end adjustment so the led bulbs would not light or turn on at the lowest dim setting. The second switch either flickered or buzzed depending on the type of LED. This dimmer worked very well with multiple brands of LED bulbs.I do not have flickering or humming with the LED bulbs I tried (Phillips, Cree). The low end is adjustable, but I did not have to since the lowest dim level was above the LED threshold. The center button is programmable to a favorite dim level. I also like the ability to always turn on to full brightness even if the dimmer was shut off at a lower dim level.This dimmer has 18 gauge wire coming off the switch which you can connect with your current wiring with a wire nut or similar. It also requires a neutral. It does not have screw terminals on the dimmer itself to connect wiring to.I also was able to easily use the Lutron app to control my lights remotely and add a programming schedule. You will need the Caseta Bridge or compatible hub to to control these through the internet/remotely. The dimmer uses Lutron’s own propriety wireless protocol which I believe only a few systems support, personally I use the Bridge.Since this is technically not a fully incandescent dimmer, the wattage limit is lower for incandescent bulbs than other dimmers, but there are plenty of other options (even from Lutron) if you are using incandescent bulbs. I chose this unit specifically for LED bulb compatibility.Edit 2017/06/08: Everything is still going strong and I haven’t had any issues with my previous install. Recently I installed another as a 3 way with a Pico reomte. These do not support the standard 3 way install with a traveler wire, but instead you wire it as if it is a single switch (you bypass the other switches) and you use a Pico wireless remote to control the main switch. So far it works fine. The only thing I wish the Pico remote had is an indicator like the main switch with the current dim level. I still plan on getting a few more since these work so well.

    Dimmer is controlling 8 x 9W 4″ LEDs. They’re the cheaper AC voltage series, so no dedicated driver for them. The lights I expect to get 3-5 years before problems start cropping up, but the dimmer should last forever.I originally had the standard Caseta dimmer, the one without the neutral line requirement and it caused a buzzing sound from the lights at any dim level. Upgrading to this model got rid of the buzzing issue. The level of dim control is about the same, with the lights going to about 40% output and then dropping to zero. Whether that is the function of the lights I’ve chosen or the dimmer, I cannot say. My experience with Lutron RA2 is far, far more granularity with dimming control but for $300+ CAD a switch, it’s expected.SOMEWHAT ODDLY HOWEVER, when the lights turn from the large top button they appear to almost go to 100% brightness and then quickly drop to 95% brightness. It’s subtle, but not so subtle that it isn’t noticed.

    Great product , saves you from wiring 3ways circuits

    Yes, it was more expensive than many other competing lines. However, this dimmer allowed me to dim 10 LED lights on 2 ceiling tracks correctly with NO Flicker. I could not do the same with Meross or other Homekit dimming lights that I tried. Highly recommended!

    I bought this because Lutron switches are recommended with the colour-accurate LED bulbs I bought. I bought this so I could invert the phase. However, I still have flicker at low light levels (i.e. less than 50%) now with two different models. So I’m disappointed that such issues haven’t been resolved yet by the manufacturers. Otherwise, the quality and responsiveness of the system are excellent, and the pico remote I have works also well with this model. The recall button is very welcome because I can use it to set the lowest level without flicker (trimming would just cut out far too much of the luminance range.)
