Model: PD-3PCL-WH · White
Indoor 120 V plug-in lamp dimmer controlling up to two lamps together: 100 W combined compatible dimmable LED/CFL or 300 W incandescent/halogen, with a mixed-load table. Local buttons work standalone; Home Assistant control uses a supported Lutron Caseta hub.

What to know about this device before choosing a connection.
A recommendation is not recorded yet. Compare the requirements below with your home and the capabilities you need.
Lighting only, not an appliance plug. Both receptacles share one dimming channel and one total load limit. Do not control motor-driven or transformer-supplied appliances. Use compatible dimmable bulbs and the manufacturer mixed-load table; switching mode does not turn this into an appliance relay. Indoor 0-40 C, 0-90% RH non-condensing. Leave lamp switches on and use a constantly powered standard outlet. No rewiring is required for normal plug-in installation. Smart hub and Pico remote are sold separately. Lutron account, current app and Internet are needed for new hub activation; documented HA everyday control is Local Push. Exact minimum firmware, device OTA, physical button events and energy telemetry are unknown. Documentation reviewed, not hardware tested. Retailer technical errors are held/rejected; user-specific stock is not verified.

Home Assistant
Complete the required items before setup. Items marked “Not required” are optional for this route.
Documented
Use exact White US PD-3PCL-WH, UPC 784276072069; base PD-3PCL. Technical manuals apply via the primary identity mapping, not by counting kits/finishes as more devices.
Documented
120 V AC 50/60 Hz indoor only. Use up to two lamps controlled together: total 100 W compatible dimmable LED/CFL or 300 W incandescent/halogen, reduced by the mixed-load table. Minimum 10 W incandescent/halogen or one approved LED. No motors or transformer-supplied appliances. Leave lamp switches on and power the dimmer continuously.
Derived from documentation
Dimmer talks Clear Connect RF to the hub; hub connects by Ethernet. Home Assistant needs local network reachability. The plug is not directly joined to Wi-Fi or Thread.
Documented
Turn on each lamp and unplug it. Connect its cord to either side of the lamp dimmer; then plug the dimmer into a suitable standard always-powered outlet. Check local on/off and brightness using compatible lamps within the total load table. No wall rewiring is part of this procedure.
Documented
Connect Ethernet and supplied power, allow any update to finish, and follow current Lutron app discovery/account prompts, pressing the hub rear button when requested. Reuse a working already-commissioned hub instead of resetting it.
Derived from documentation
Follow the Lutron app prompts to add the PD-3PCL and assign a useful room/name. Verify on/off and dimming there first. Exact quick-start says to complete all remaining setup in the app; no undocumented fixed hold duration is inserted here. Standalone Pico pairing directions differ once the device is app-associated.
Derived from documentation
Supported plug-in dimmer light entity supplies normal light control; both receptacles respond together.
Derived from documentation
HA documents plug-in dimmers as dimmable lights. Only compatible bulbs within model-specific limits; no universal 1% floor or flicker-free guarantee.
Documented
The dimmer itself has On, Off, Brighter and Darker controls; these operate locally without a hub. Optional Pico is separate hardware.
Documented
New vendor hub onboarding needs Lutron account/app/Internet; device association and HA integration follow. Local physical-only use is a separate no-hub configuration, not the HA route.
Documented
HA explicitly classifies the integration as Local Push. Lutron documents hub local operation when Internet is down. Successful normal control still depends on the powered hub, reachable LAN, HA host and RF range; it is not a hardware outage test.
Derived from documentation
Lutron remote app access uses its supported Internet service. Access to HA from outside the home requires a separately configured secure HA remote-access method; no direct unauthenticated exposure or free subscription is implied.
Derived from documentation
Vendor hub/app documents scheduled events and scenes. HA automations depend on the running host and all chosen triggers/actions; cloud-linked triggers may still need Internet. No standalone built-in scheduler is inferred for the plug.
Documented
ui_or_documented_manual_certificates
Use the normal UI path first. HA also documents advanced manual configuration with certificate/private-key files and existing-file pairing when physical hub access is unavailable. Those files are sensitive and are not needed in this research packet; no files are generated or exposed.
Derived from documentation
not_matter
This reviewed route is Clear Connect RF plus Lutron hub, then the built-in HA integration. A hub HomeKit accessory code is not a PD-3PCL Matter code. No direct Matter route is claimed.
Documented
together
Both plugged-in lamps are controlled together, not independently addressable outputs.
Not yet verified
No exact model/hub/HA minimum firmware version established; leave unknown.
Documented
Published HA integration documentation explicitly supports Caseta plug-in dimmers through named hubs.
Derived from documentation
Editorial judgment: physical lamp installation is simple plug-in, but a new user still needs hub activation, app association and HA pairing. Existing hub owners have fewer steps.
