The most popular smart home accessories manufacturer Lutron today unveiled a pair of new products at CES 2020, which are still integrating with its line of HomeKit compatible accessories. There is a new Caséta motion sensor and a Caséta repeater, as well as a support for the Aurora wall plate.

The Caséta Smart Motion Sensor is a battery-operated, self-contained motion sensor that can wirelessly control Lutron lights and Serna shades. According to Lutron, the Caséta sensor offers several key advantages over other smart home motion sensors:
- Detects fine movement three times better than competition, with a 180-degree field of view
- Typical battery life of 10 years - three times longer than other brands of motion sensors
Lutron's motion sensor is completely wireless and independent, which means it can be mounted on a wall, placed on a flatbed or mounted in a corner somewhere throughout the house. The sensor can control any number of Serena smart switches, fan controls and shades.
The Caséta Smart Motion Sensor will be available on Amazon in early February for $ 49.95.
In addition to the motion sensor, Lutron also introduced a new Cassette repeater. This accessory is designed for homes that may be too large or have unusual amenities that make access to the Caseta smart bridge difficult throughout the home.
The Caséta repeater should simply be connected to any electrical outlet located 60 meters from the smart bridge and will extend the system range by another 60 meters. The new repeater works in conjunction with the Caséta Plug-in Dimmer, which also extends the Smart Bridge range.
The Cassette Repeater will also be available on Amazon in early February and retails for $ 74.95.
Last but not least, Lutron has announced a new Aurora Wallplate support for the Aurora smart bulb dimmer, originally introduced last year. The new payment medium is designed to make it easy for users to mount the Aurora dimmer anywhere in their home:
The new Aurora Wallplate bracket allows you to easily replace a decorative dimmer opening dimmer or switch with an Aurora smart bulb dimmer. Simply turn off the power, remove the pallet switch or dimmer from the junction box, cover the wires and mount the wall plate holder and dimmer directly over the opening with the two screws provided.
Or for even more control, use the double-sided tape to wirelessly mount a Lutron Claro smart wall plate and an Aurora smart bulb on any wall surface - perfect for anywhere a switch or dimmer doesn't exist, but control is required .
The Aurora Wallplate Arm will be available in March for $ 10. You can now order Aurora in the morning itself for $ 40.
