How do I extend my Caseta range?

Answered by Robert Dupre

To extend the range of your Caseta system, you have a couple of options. One option is to switch the location of the current Lamp Dimmer acting as the range extender with another Lamp Dimmer. This can help improve the signal strength and extend the range of your system.

Here are the steps to switch the location of the Lamp Dimmers:

1. Identify the Lamp Dimmer that is currently acting as the range extender. This can be done by checking the Lutron App or referring to the setup instructions.

2. Choose another Lamp Dimmer that you want to use as the new range extender. This can be any Lamp Dimmer in your system.

3. Turn off the power to both Lamp Dimmers at the breaker or by unplugging them.

4. Disconnect the current range extender Lamp Dimmer from its current location. This may involve removing it from the wall or unplugging it from the outlet.

5. Install the current range extender Lamp Dimmer in the new location. Follow the installation instructions provided by Lutron to properly mount or plug in the device.

6. Turn on the power to both Lamp Dimmers. Allow them to power up and establish a connection with the Caseta system.

7. Open the Lutron App and edit the device names to reflect their new locations. This will help you keep track of which Lamp Dimmer is acting as the range extender.

By switching the location of the Lamp Dimmers, you are essentially moving the range extender to a new spot, which can help improve the signal and extend the range of your Caseta system.

Alternatively, if you prefer not to switch the location of the Lamp Dimmers, you can also delete the current range extender Lamp Dimmer from the Lutron App. Once deleted, the next PD-3PCL unit you add to the app will automatically become the new range extender.

To delete a device from the Lutron App:

1. Open the Lutron App and navigate to the devices section.

2. Find the range extender Lamp Dimmer in the list of devices.

3. Tap on the range extender Lamp Dimmer to access its settings.

4. Look for the option to delete or remove the device. This may be located in the settings or more options menu.

5. Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm the deletion of the range extender Lamp Dimmer.

Once the range extender Lamp Dimmer is deleted, you can then add a new PD-3PCL unit to the app, and it will automatically become the new range extender for your Caseta system.

I hope these steps help you extend the range of your Caseta system. If you have any further questions or need clarification, feel free to ask.
