Best smart light switch for HomeKit: Lutron Caseta In-Wall Smart Dimmer Switch. That means the Linear/go control switch doesn’t have to be on the same circuit. So again, depending on your wiring, you could use a GE master switch and a linear/go control add on switch, with the add on switch talking directly to the smartthings hub rather than to the master. Use the smart switch to set your front porch lights to turn on at dusk. It doesn’t use traveler wires to communicate with its own master switch it always uses a virtual three-way.

The following FAQ lists both battery powered and mains powered devices, both wall mount and table top, so you might find something there that works for you. And there are a number of other battery operated devices which could be used.

The device talks to the hub, the hub talks to the master switch. That said, as he also mentioned, any device which can communicate directly to the smartthings hub can be used in a virtual three-way. So they cannot be used with any other brand. In fact, the Lutron pico switches are invisible to SmartThings in the official integration the only thing they can be used for is to control a Lutron master switch.Īnd as it happens, the GE add on switches are also themselves invisible to the smartthings hub – – they don’t have any radio at all, and just communicate with their master switch with pulses over the traveler wire.

As said, your initial idea won’t work, they’re just not compatible.
