5. Maintenance

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Lutron Diva Smart Dimmer Kit, follow these general maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Gently wipe the dimmer and wallplate with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Connection Check: Periodically ensure all wiring connections are secure. If you notice any flickering or inconsistent behavior, re-check the wiring with the power off at the breaker.
• Firmware Updates: Keep your Lutron app and smart hub firmware updated to ensure compatibility and access to the latest features and improvements.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Lutron Diva Smart Dimmer Kit, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• Lights Not Responding: Ensure the circuit breaker is ON. Check that the dimmer is properly installed and wired according to the instructions.
• Flickering Lights: Adjust the dimming range using the dimmer's low-end trim setting (refer to installation videos for guidance). Ensure you are using dimmable LED or incandescent/halogen bulbs.
• App Connectivity Issues: Verify your smart hub is powered on and connected to your router. Restart the Lutron app. If issues persist, power cycle the smart hub by unplugging it for 10 seconds and plugging it back in.
• Pico Remote Not Responding: Ensure the Pico remote is within range of the dimmer or hub. Check the remote's battery life (Pico remotes have a 10-year battery life). Re-pair the Pico remote if necessary (refer to installation instructions).
