Lutron announced that the company's first outdoor smart solution - Caseta Wireless Outdoor Smart Plug, is now available. Introduced for the first time in January this year, the Caseta Wireless outdoor smart plug offers convenient applications and voice commands for outdoor lighting, décor, pumps, power tools and more.

Ideal for intelligent control of landscape lighting and strings, holiday lights and inflatables, as well as motors and pumps, the new Outdoor Smart Plug Box offers homeowners convenient control of outdoor lights via the free Lutron app. For example, a homeowner can set their patio lights to light up 15 minutes before sunset, adding a touch of magic to the perfect summer evening with family or friends.

The Caséta Wireless outdoor smart plug has an IP-65 weather and dust resistance class, keeping it protected from the elements throughout the year. The outdoor plug has a unique, intelligent socket, capable of handling 15A lighting loads, 1/2 HP motor loads and 1,200 VA transformer and ballast loads.

The Lutron jack is compatible with HomeKit, Alexa, Google Assistant and Ring, when paired with a Lutron Caséta wireless Smart Bridge. The plug connects to the Smart Bridge via RF Connect Connect Lutron technology, which offers fast response times and solid reliability at distances of up to 60 feet.

Clear Connect functions also allow control of the external jack with Lutron Pico remotes, light switches and motion sensors. Lutron light switches are currently our best choice for both the best HomeKit light switches and the best smart light switches, and the Caséta wireless motion sensor offers fast performance but no HomeKit.

The Lutron Caséta smart outdoor plug is now available at a suggested retail price of $ 79.95. The Outdoor card can be purchased online through Home Depot and Lowes and will soon appear on Amazon and Best Buy.
