Before You Begin
If you are unsure if you have the correct Pico remote for your application, review <a href='https://support.lutron.com/us/en/product/casetawireless/article/product…; style='color: rgb(5, 99, 193);text-decoration: underline;' target='_blank'>The Pico Remote and its use in the Caséta System</a> knowledge article for more info on the Pico remote.
One Pico remote can be paired to multiple Caséta devices for simultaneous control of all paired dimmers, switches, and shades. One Caséta switch or dimmer can be paired with up to 10 Pico remotes.
For independent control of Caséta devices, a Pico scene remote (PJ2-4B-GWH-P01) added to the Lutron app or a Pico 2 Group On/Off Controller (PJ2-4B-GWH-L21) would be needed. 
Note: a “standalone” application refers to a scenario where a Pico remote is paired directly with a Caséta switch, dimmer, or shade and not through the Lutron app with the Caséta Smart Hub.

<a id='UnpairingaPicoremotefromastandalonedimmerorswitch' target='_blank'></a>Unpairing a Pico remote from a standalone dimmer or switch
To remove a Pico remote from a previously paired standalone device; the switch, dimmer, or shade that the Pico remote is paired to must be factory reset to remove the pairing.
