I use Lutron Caseta which has a local hub and no cloud control. It’s the same company and I didn’t get that notice.

Wonder what’s different about the Decora switches?

Are Lutron and Leviton the same company? I’ve always wondered but never found any definitive confirmation one way or another.

Edit: see, two replies, two answers… shrouded in mystery haha

They're competitors.

They're like the Lincoln & Ford (or Acura & Honda, if you prefer a less ambiguous simile) of the electrical components world
