S4 E29 - Current Projects | Old Houses | Lutron Products

 

In this episode, Colin and Jimmy discuss current projects, remodeling older houses, and rot repair trends. They also review Lutron products: Caseta Outdoor Smart Plug, Aurora Smart Bulb Dimmer, and Aurora Wallplate Bracket.

Special shout out to Lutron! They sent us a few products to review, and we actually loved these items! Let us know if you have other questions about them.

For $79.95, the NEW Caseta Outdoor Smart Plug is an ip-65 rated weatherproof plug that gives you phone, voice, and remote control over landscape and string lighting, holiday lights, inflatables, and some motors and pumps, along with the ability to schedule your lights with a smart timer that reliably adjusts sunrise/sunset settings to Daylight Savings.

For $39.99, the Lutron Aurora Smart Bulb Dimmer keeps Philips Hue smart bulbs in the “always ready” mode by locking a toggle light switch in the “on/up” position. That way, no one can ever accidentally turn the switch—and your smart bulb functionality - off. With the Aurora dimmer, you can turn smart lights on, off, or dim them, right from the wall, with an app on your smartphone, or even with your voice. And thanks to the $10 Aurora Wallplate Bracket, the Aurora is now compatible with paddle-style switches if you don’t control your smart bulbs with a toggle-switch.
