Need 3way can't fish

[readydave8]

I know this question has been asked and answered many times, often by Dennis

Have existing switch

Need to add 2nd location switch, difficult to run 3wire to add 3way but does have power at 2nd location

Answer seems to be Maestro and Pico, but when I Google get confused by too many choices, 2 button switch, compatibility, etc

So can I humbly ask part #'so for 2 switches I need to make this work?

Won't need power at second location but this will work.

No dimming - on/off only:
1 - Lutron Caseta PD-5WS-DV-WH (no neutral +5amp) or PD-6ANS-WH (neutral+6amp)
1 - Lutron Pico PJ2-2B-GWH-L01
1 - Lutron PICO-WBX-ADAPT (adapter to hold Pico to wall / box)
Decora plates as needed

Your best bet is to call their tech support-- 24/7

We use the Maestro and Pico. You need to make sure the unit you buy is for LED's if you are dimming Led. They make one for LED but there are some out there that will not work for LED

The Pico have different buttons for dimming, on/off. The two button pico is used when there is no dimming involved- costs just a few dollars more for the dimming Pico.

If you get a normal plate for the dimmer module then you can just stick the lock to the wall and then screw the plate that comes with the kit to the wall. No pico mounting plate needed

I have never used Maestro with a PICO. Not saying there is anything wrong with it just never have. The PICO is suggested more for the Caseta. I have used PICO once with Caseta, the dozens of other times I use the PICO is with just an RF switch. It is exactly like the Caseta but cheaper. I called Lutron and they couldn't tell me the difference.
Not sure if the RF switch comes in a dimmer model as I only use it for on/off. It works fine with LED. It even comes with a load capacitor in case there is not enough load to allow the wireless switch to work properly.
The number for the RF switch is:

• Lutron PD-5S-DV-WH 5 Amp Max. 2 Button RF Switch - 120/277V White -
