These switches do not have/ need a neutral wire. This makes wiring easier and more complicated at the same time. When a smart switch lacks a neutral that means it's always on, but at "off" the voltage regulation/ PWM is reduced to a level below what is required to turn on the light bulb(s) therefore they appear off. You might like to know that its still "on" when you go to change out a bulb and the fixture is still hot--really just an FYI.
Note #2:
This kit is not meant for track/ DC/ magnetic ballast lighting. Only listed dimmable LED's, halogens, incandescents, and CFL's.
Note #3:
These dimmer switches cannot control a ceiling fan. You need model number PD-FSQN-xx for that which is, naturally, sold separately.

Note #4:
Similar to Philips, Lutron uses a bridge to keep all of this crap off of your home wifi network. It doesn't need to be hogging resources (TP-Link) and "sniffing/ checking in" (wink wink, China) like other brands do. If you plan to convert multiple switches to smart switches, it makes the most sense to use a bridged system as an intermediary. Bonus points if you put your bridge(s) on their own subnet isolated from your laptops, tablets, and phones. Your other wifi devices will thank you.
Note #5:
Whether you buy at Amazon or pricematch at Best Buy or Lowes, pay with your Visa Signature/ Platinum or Amex to get the +1 year warranty for consumer electronics. Discover ended this benefit a few years ago and I don't know if Paypal ever offered it. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable than myself could elaborate in the comments if any other common credit cards still offer the extended warranty benefit. Thanks in advance.
