![]() This is a perfectly safe way of running Lutron products outside of America, since nothing needs to be wired into your house’s electrical system. In my mind, the only reason for purchasing a “Caseta” kit in countries like the UK, Australia, New Zealand is because you want to use Pico remotes, and pair them with the Caseta Pro hub. Plus you might still run into a bunch of wireless frequency problems. Whilst it might technically be possible to purchase a bunch of Caseta switches and jerry-rig it into a non-American home with the help of a step down transformer, you should not do this because it could be dangerous. The Only Way To (Sort Of) Make Caseta Products ‘Work’ Outside of America And thankfully, these can potentially work outside of America – which is why Amazon still list them outside of America. ![]() So can you ever buy ‘Caseta’ products outside America? Well, some “Caseta” products actually aren’t the hardwired Caseta switches – they are Pico remotes, or the Caseta hub. I have seen the same on Amazon UK – a Caseta product is listed as available to purchase, but the UK-based reviews just say “the voltage is 120V, this is incompatible in the UK”.Īmazon will eventually remove incompatible products from their respective non-America Amazon sites, but this can take some time. Lots of good Lutron Caseta reviews but none are from Amazon Australia customers Related Reading: Does Lutron Caseta Work Without The Internet? Why Amazon Sells Caseta In the UK, Australia & Similar Countries Bad things will happen!īut of course, Amazon are still selling various “Caseta” products outside of, so why is this? In other words, don’t purchase an electrical product that was specifically designed for America, and then try and install it into a non-American electrical household. Never wire-up a device rated on a lower-voltage at a much higher mains voltage. As a result, if you attempted to install a Caseta switch in a UK home (for example) the switch will eventually get damaged – but it could even be dangerous (such as causing an electrical fire). But of course, many countries outside of America work on higher voltages – such as 230-240V.
