Section (1):  System Requirements:
 

Sonos Hardware: 

  • All Sonos speakers are compatible with Caséta Wireless, including the play:1, play:3, play:5, playbar, sub, and amp. Should only use all Wired or all Wireless, never both as this can cause network connection issues. This applies to all speakers (either all are wired, or all are wireless).


Sonos Software: 
  • Install the free Sonos app on your smartphone in order to initially set up your Sonos system and select your favorite stations/playlists.
Lutron Hardware:
  • Lutron Smart Hub (formerly Smart Bridge) L-BDG2-WH or Smart Hub PRO L-BDGPRO2-WH (any generation), and ideally one or more Pico remotes for audio PJ2-3BRL-GXX-A02​.
Lutron Software:
  • Install the free Lutron App for Caséta Wireless (version 4.0 or later) on your smartphone in order to set up your Caséta Wireless system and add Sonos speakers to the Lutron App.
 

Section (2):  How to Link Sonos Speakers to the Caseta System

Step 1: Install Sonos Speakers
  • Then follow the steps in the Sonos app on your smartphone/tablet to set up your Sonos system and create your list of favorite stations/playlists.
Step 2: Install your Caséta Wireless dimmers and switches and plug in your Smart Hub
  • Then follow the steps in the Lutron App on your smartphone/tablet to set up your Caséta Wireless system.
Step 3: Connecting the Sonos Speakers to the Lutron App
  • In the Lutron App, tap the Settings icon in the upper left, then tap "Add a device."

  • Sonos Speakers must be connected to the same home network as the Caseta Hub (i.e. same IP Address strand). Good example: Caseta Hub IP 192.168.1.18 & Sonos Speaker IP 192.168.1.34 (first three decimals match).  Bad example: Caseta Hub IP 192.168.1.4 , Phone & Sonos Speaker 192.168.16.45 (first three decimals don't match for the speaker). Last decimal place will always be different and can range from 1 to 254.
