- Is the Casta plug safe in rain?
- It carries an IP65/IP66 rating, which covers dust and water jets. Mount it with the outlet facing down and keep the cover closed for the best protection.
- Does it need a hub?
- It is part of Lutron's smart lighting line, so app and remote control depend on a compatible Lutron bridge or system. Check your existing setup before buying.
- Can it dim lights?
- No. It is an on/off switch box, so use it with lights or devices that do not need dimming.
- How many devices can it control?
- One. The box switches a single plugged-in load, so a power strip or multi-outlet adapter is needed for several devices.
- Can I use it indoors?
- Yes, it works indoors too, but its sealed housing is the reason to choose it, so a standard indoor smart plug is usually simpler inside.
