Lutron has updated its Caséta Wireless smart home system line, adding compatible thermostats, new controls for in-wall and in-ceiling lights, and more ways to integrate the system with other connected home products. A new 1,000-watt dimmer works with incandescent and halogen bulbs as well as dimmable LEDs and CFLs. The Lutron Wireless Thermostat is powered by Honeywell and controllable by the Lutron App. Caséta Wireless also now works with Android Wear and the Comcast Xfinity Home app, and operates in tandem with Nest’s Protect Smoke + CO Alarm. If Nest detects carbon monoxide, the lights will turn on and the shades will open, helping people in the house safely exit.
