About This Video

If you’re anything like me, you’re probably deep into the Lutron Caseta ecosystem because it’s just rock solid. In this video I take our dining room to the next level by installing five Lutron Caseta blackout shades, pairing them to my second Caseta smart hub (I hit the 75-device limit on the first hub), and then pulling everything into Home Assistant for full automation and voice control. I walk through the physical install step-by-step—brackets, mounting, battery setup (mine take four D batteries), and pairing in the Lutron app. After that, I show how the shades behave inside both the Lutron Caseta app and Home Assistant, including percentage control and stopping them anywhere you want. The real win is automations: I can close the blinds after sunset, and I can also do things Lutron alone can’t—like tying the shades to my security system so when the alarm goes into Away mode, the dining room blinds automatically close. I also cover why Pico remotes are still worth it (local control for guests and when things go offline), and I run a decibel test to compare noise levels. The Caseta shades came in at 55.4 dB—noticeably quieter than my other smart blinds at 60 dB and 69.8 dB—so quiet that people often don’t even notice they’re moving.
