Which is the better buy? Side-by-side on rating, price, strengths, and watch-outs — with the published ratings we averaged to get there.
Lutron Caséta PD-3PCL comes out ahead by a narrow margin (4.6 vs 4.7). The gap is mostly about staircases, hallways, large rooms needing 3-way control — read the strengths below before deciding.
The HS200P3 is the value pick — Kasa's 3-pack at $40 covers a whole apartment cheaply.
The PD-3PCL is the 3-way pick — Caséta's dimmer for staircases and hallways without rewiring.
Best per-switch value. 3-pack. No Matter.
3-way without rewire. No neutral. Bridge required.
