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.
This means that if you purchase an American Caseta kit, and then some Pico remotes from your own country, they might not immediately work together (if at all) due to them being produced for different frequencies. However different countries have different rules on what radio frequencies can be used – Z-wave works on a non-standard RF band in Australia due to this. The wireless protocol used by Caseta ( Clear Connect RF) will be tied to a specific radio frequency (just like Wi-Fi is often 2.4 Ghz or 5 Ghz). There might be a wireless frequency clash between different Lutron products.In other words, the Caseta switch instead probably can’t be safely wired up into a UK home’s electrics – even if you are able to match up the live, neutral and earth wires to the relevant parts of the Caseta switch. Every country has different standards, codes and regulations for wiring, and this applies to electrical devices and switches too. The actual wiring diagrams for the Caseta switches almost certainly won’t match up with your own country’s wiring.If you were to purchase a Lutron Caseta starter kit (with 1 and 2-gang Caseta switches) from America, and then import it into another country (such as New Zealand or the UK), you will experience a range of issues: Does Lutron Caseta Work Outside of America? (E.g. If Caseta (the gold standard for smart switches) doesn’t work in areas like the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, what smart switches can you use there?.If not, why do Amazon appear to sell various Lutron Caseta products on their website?.Since most other countries supply voltage to homes at 220-230V (the UK used to be 240V but is now 230V, in-line with much of Europe and Australia), can Caseta work there?.Most of Caseta’s products run at 120V, which is the household voltage level within America.
