The Aqara installs without a neutral, costs less, and reaches Google Home, Alexa, Apple HomeKit, Home Assistant and IFTTT, with Matter through an Aqara hub and a direct SmartThings path over Zigbee, plus a wireless switch mode that turns the rocker into a scene controller. The Lutron is the opposite trade: it dims up to 600 W of incandescent or 150 W of LED, runs on Clear Connect RF through its hub, and supports the same ecosystems through that hub, but it is a single-purpose dimmer with a higher price and no wireless switch mode. Pick the Aqara for an affordable no-neutral on/off switch, and the Lutron Caseta Original Smart Dimmer Switch when dimming that specific light is the goal.

What the differences mean

Dimming

The Lutron Caseta Original Smart Dimmer Switch dims, up to 600 W of incandescent or halogen and 150 W of dimmable LED or CFL. The Aqara Smart Wall Switch H1 EU (No Neutral) - Single is an on/off switch only, so if a fixture needs to dim, the Lutron is the one that does it.

Radio and hub

The Aqara Smart Wall Switch H1 EU (No Neutral) - Single is a Zigbee device that needs an Aqara hub to reach the network. The Lutron Caseta Original Smart Dimmer Switch uses Lutron Clear Connect RF through the Lutron Smart Hub, which is why it keeps working when Wi-Fi does not.

Ecosystems

The Aqara Smart Wall Switch H1 EU (No Neutral) - Single works with Apple HomeKit, Alexa, Google Home and Home Assistant through an Aqara hub, pairs directly with SmartThings over Zigbee, and reaches Matter through the hub. The Lutron Caseta Original Smart Dimmer Switch reaches Apple Home, Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings and Home Assistant only through its own hub.

Load ceiling

The Aqara Smart Wall Switch H1 EU (No Neutral) - Single is rated 8 A at 100 to 250 V for resistive loads, with the maximum wattage undocumented. The Lutron Caseta Original Smart Dimmer Switch is rated 600 W of incandescent or halogen and 150 W of dimmable LED, a clearer figure for a lighting circuit.

Wireless switch mode

The Aqara Smart Wall Switch H1 EU (No Neutral) - Single lets the rocker be decoupled from the relay so it triggers scenes instead of cutting power, useful when the fixture holds smart bulbs. The Lutron Caseta Original Smart Dimmer Switch has no such mode and is always wired to the load it controls.

Which one to buy if

What owners say

Owners of the Lutron Caseta Original Smart Dimmer Switch keep returning to one word: reliability. Many describe running these for the better part of a decade, sometimes dozens across a whole house, with essentially no dropouts, because the dimmer speaks Clear Connect RF to the hub instead of sitting on Wi-Fi. They describe a quick one-screwdriver install made possible by the missing neutral, and they like adding a Pico remote for a second control point without pulling wire. The recurring complaints are that the hub is a separate purchase, that the wallplate is not in the box, that two-wire dimming makes some LED fixtures hum or flicker, and that the green status LEDs cannot be dimmed or switched off.
