Kasa requires neutral wire, this doesn't
They are more reliable than mesh or WiFi because the signal goes straight to the hub or repeater. Runs at 434mhz - that's gonna penetrate way better than 900mhz/2.4ghz that competitors use.
And yes, we also have several Philips Hue devices (bulbs, lightstrips, ambient light devices, etc) but those are available on sale on/off more often than Lutron - which is my biggest disappointment with Lutron Caseta platform - that their products rarely if ever go on sale (except for in bundles like these which are no use for folks that already have some investment in their platform and prefer buying individual items.
Just my $0.02

I agree with this and to reiterate the other conment, the only real advantage is theres no need for neutral wire for lutron.
My experience because I have both is that I can also see that lutron will not bog down your router with traffic from possibly tens of devices. Lutron has it's own base that the devices connect to.
As far as reliability in response I've seen better performance with Kasa actually. I have home assistant setup with automation and consistently lutron will miss calls to action. Could be bad support but for my use case I'm tempted to remove the lutron because of this issue because of how consistent the issue is. It does look cleaner but maybe that's the premium price talking.
I would highly recommend if you have a neutral wire and only plan on installing a couple switches to use Kasa. I currently am using Kasa and have multiple switches (dimmers and regular) and plug switches and bulbs connected (14 total devices) and I have no issues but I had to play around with my router setup to manage all the devices I have on my network. (Fyi I have a lot more other manufacturer equipment on my network as well)
A remote paired to a switch can operate independently with the switch if the internet or hub goes down. Remote would usually be in the same room or adjacent hallway so communication with the paired switch should not be a problem.
