Whether your device is Apple HomeKit, Amazon Echo, Google Home, Nest, or IFTTT, you can use the Lutron Caseta fluently, which makes it stand out from its competitors.
WeMo Smart Switch
The WeMo smart switch can be used to control the brightness in a room just by running your finger in the center of the switch.
