Lutron - Aurora Smart Bulb Dimmer Switches. Does anyone know if they are compatible with bulbs other than Phillips Hue? I am mostly using Sengled and would love to be able to use this for them. if this isn't possible is there a reasonable alternative?

I think you've just discovered why smart switches are better than smart bulbs. If you don't absolutely need color, a regular dimmable LED bulb + smart dimmer switch will be your best bet. I switched out all the switches in my apartment when I was just renting. and just switched them back when I moved out.

@unclothe1851 in a perfect world. Lol. My house was built in 65 so no neutral, unfortunately. I have been waiting patiently for the C by GE switches to come out.

@glossematics0 I have Lutron Caseta dimmer switches in my no-neutral house.

I know they connect to other hubs so they should be, but you could also do something like an Inovelli red series dimmer, it does not require a neutral wire

@exophthalmos that is what I was thinking. I have family over and would like to avoid certain switches from being turned off in the house while still giving them the ability to turn and adjust lights.

Yep, inovelli would be perfect for that
