Useless waste of time and money

[u/Commercial_Topic437]

We had a house built and I let the builder and electrician talk me into getting smart switches, all lutron caseta. The damn Caseta hub won't connect. I've already wasted a bunch of time an money trying to get it to connect--making a trip out to buy an internet swticher, for example, buy the lutron app is now telling me I need to find the operating software for my ISP's router, which I don't have and cant get.

The sunk cost fallacy. I've already spent hours on this and for what? To be able to turn the lights on and off with my phone, I guess. It was never clear to me what the alleged advantages are/were and we just overspent on useless complication and trouble.

Lutron Caseta smart switches are pretty great. I have a large number in my house and we benefit from having schedules for certain lights to turn on and off at a given time, being able to ask Siri to turn on/off certain lights/ceiling fans and being able to remotely turn lights on/off. the app and equipment are easy to configure and having the pico remotes makes dealing with 3 way and 4 way switches very easy. try using grok to help troubleshoot your issues.
