Lutron Caseta vs. RA2 Select

When trying to decide between the Lutron Caseta vs. RA2 Select, you’re really looking at two quality smart lighting systems that are better suited for different situations.

With the Lutron Caseta Wireless, you’ll enjoy an accessible and easy-to-install system with integration with a wide number of products. It’s the perfect option for smaller homes and those looking for the perfect DIY smart lighting system. However, if you plan on installing more than 50 devices in one lighting system, you should definitely go with the Lutron RA2 Select.

But, first things first, let’s check what the two systems have in common before we get to their differences to help you decide the better Lutron lighting solution for your home.

Emerson Sensi Touch vs. Nest

Being able to control your home environment with your voice, and even have a house that reacts to your whims automatically (while saving on energy costs!) is now a possibility that’s accessible to most everyone. Most people just think of devices like Amazon Alexa or Google Home when it comes to home automation, but there are a surprising amount of products that interface well with these voice controllers and add a lot of functionality, convenience, and even savings to running your home.

One important device to consider when outfitting your home with smart tech is a smart thermostat. These products offer a large amount of control over the temperature of your home, and can even save lots of money over time with the increased energy efficiency that most models provide.

In this comparison, we’ll be taking a look at the Sensi Touch vs. Nest Learning Thermostat to try to give you a sense of which product will work best for you. Let’s get into it!

Lutron Caseta vs. Maestro Wireless

Lutron was one of the first companies to offer smart home lighting. Besides standard dimmers and switches, Lutron has two wireless collections for smart homes — Caseta Wireless and Maestro Wireless. Products from both collections use Lutron Clear Connect technology to provide comfortable remote control of dimmers and switches. And while the two collections are very similar, there are some major differences between them. We’ve compared the differences of Lutron Caseta vs. Maestro Wireless to help you choose the right one for your home.

Ecobee3 vs. Ecobee4 vs. Nest

As of May 2017, Ecobee has moved on from the ecobee3 thermostat, and has released the all-new ecobee4 thermostat. And now that Nest has become a household name, we felt the need to compare these three smart thermostats to find out the differences between them. So, let’s compare ecobee3 vs. ecobee4 vs. Nest to help you choose the right smart thermostat for your smart home.

Ecobee3 vs. Ecobee3 Lite

Note: As of March 2017, ecobee updated the ecobee3 lite to work with room sensors, leaving very few differences between the ecobee3 and the ecobee3 lite. Yet, there are a few key features that separate them. Basically, the ecobee3 lite is just a lighter version of ecobee3; it supports almost all the features the ecobee3 does and costs a little bit less than ecobee3. The two versions of the smart thermostat are nearly identical, so let’s go over the features that separate the ecobee3 lite vs. ecobee3.

Ecobee3 Review: The Good

Room sensors: The Ecobee3 brings a whole new dimension to energy efficiency and control with its room sensors. The Ecobee3 room sensors let you tailor your needs based on the amount of people in the room. If nobody is in the room, focus energy elsewhere and save your wallet. And based on this feature alone, we’d recommend purchasing the Ecobee3. The downside? The thermostat/sensor package comes only one sensor; you’ll have to buy Ecobee3 room sensor packs seperately.
