PD-5NE vs DVRF-5NE
Choose PD-5NE when the project needs the original Caseta ELV+ dimmer style with phase-selectable control and a neutral wire. Choose DVRF-5NE when the project needs the newer Diva-style Caseta ELV+ dimmer. Both should be matched to the lighting load, wiring conditions, and control requirements before ordering.
Compatibility notes
Use PD-5NE only with compatible dimmable lighting loads and confirmed wiring requirements. Existing hardwired 3-way switches are not used with this dimmer; for 3-way and multi-location applications, use compatible Pico remotes and wallplate adapters where required. Add a compatible Lutron Smart Hub when app control, schedules, remote access, or supported integrations are needed.
Frequently asked questions
Does PD-5NE require a neutral wire?
Yes. This listing identifies PD-5NE as a neutral-required Caseta ELV+ dimmer.
What does phase selectable mean?
Phase-selectable dimming means the dimmer can be configured for forward-phase or reverse-phase control to match compatible lighting loads.
Is PD-5NE a Diva-style dimmer?
No. PD-5NE is the original Caseta ELV+ dimmer style. For a Diva-style Caseta ELV+ dimmer, compare with DVRF-5NE.
Does each colour have a different SKU?
