Caseta Caseta Outdoor Smart Plug (Black)

PD-15OUT-BL · Outdoor Smart Plugs

Matching guide: Home Assistant

Local control: Not confirmed on this route
Cloud account: Required
Device bridge: Required
Matter route: Not established

US black single-device outdoor on/off plug; UPC 784276284813.
Use a GFCI-protected circuit; keep the cord end at least 3 inches above ground; extension cords must be rated at least 15 A. Equipment must be visible from every control location and be suitable for the exact approved load class. Do not operate motorized gates, garage doors, industrial doors, microwave ovens, heating pads, fireplaces or space heaters; these are non-exhaustive manufacturer examples. Respect local/national codes and the exact manual. Separate limits are 15 A lighting, 1/2 HP motors/pumps and printed 1200 VA (8 A) transformers/magnetic ballasts; no generic maximum is substituted.
Clear Connect Type A connects the plug to Lutron hub; hub Ethernet connects to a reachable local network.
Running Home Assistant on a network reaching the supported Lutron hub.
Use one supported hub: L-BDG2-WH or L-BDGPRO2-WH, sold separately. Exact plug specification supports Smart Bridge/PRO and current HA docs explicitly list these models. No first-generation hub route is asserted.
A new hub needs current Lutron app, Lutron account and active Internet. Existing working hubs do not need reset.
Current stable HA 2026.10.2 pins pylutron-caseta 0.29.0. Maintainer-merged PD-15OUT support identifies OutdoorPlugInSwitch, retained in the pinned switch-domain list; HA builds SwitchEntity instances from that domain. Exact US PD-15OUT-BL support follows this combined identity/source chain, not a physical test. See ha-mapping-evidence.json for pinned commits and locators.

ClearConnect (Lutron)

Single-outlet outdoor on/off plug for suitable lighting, motors/pumps and transformer loads within their separate manufacturer ratings. Home Assistant control uses a supported Lutron Caseta hub; safe-load and visible-from-every-control-location restrictions still apply.
