Old house new owner fluorescent smart switch replacement

Old house new owner fluorescent smart switch replacement

Hello,

New owner of an old house.  

I would like to replace this switch with a modern smart switch. 

In the garage, there are five fixtures in the ceiling with very long fluorescent tubes.  

There is one switch on the wall.  I have not found another switch that operates these lights, so I assume this is not a 3 way scenario. 

I do not recognize this type of switch.  I did a Google image on it, but was inconclusive.  

I assume this was installed about 20 years ago. 

It does not toggle, but rather is a push on off.  

I’m not sure what the red light is for.   Could it be an old automated switch like an old X10 that I found online? 

Is there anything unique about this switch that is required by fluorescent lights?  

Can I use a recent Lutron Model PD-6ANS or a recent Lutron Caseta Claro? 

The Claro says - Controls up to 5A of LED, ELV, MLV, or fluorescent lighting, as well as 3A fan. 

The PD-6ANS is slightly higher rated; it allows loads up to 6 Amps or 720 Watts for incandescent, LED, or fluorescent lighting; or 3.6 Amps or 430 Watts for loads comprised of inductive motors.

Thank you

Wanted: Sony BluRay player supporting Bravia controls

Hello,
I’m looking for recent models (2025 or 2026) of Sony BluRay players that support the HDMI passthrough of Bravia controls through and with my Sony Bravia TV using the Sony Bravia TV remote control. I’m hoping this helps the remote control functionality and interoperability versus the old Panasonic BluRay player that I have now.
Thank you.
