Caseta dimmer install

I mistakenly pulled off all 6 tabs on an end dimmer instead of only the inside 3. Is it ruined now?

It should be just fine... If you have a really high lighting load on that dimmer, check to make sure you're still in spec (instruction sheet that came with the dimmer), but I'm guessing it'll be no issue at all.

The installation instructions that came with the dimmer include a table that specifies by how many watts the dimmer is “de-rated” when each fin is pulled off.

If you’re using LED bulbs, then like @hydro311 said, you’re probably just fine. But the only way to know for sure is to consult that table and reference against the type of lighting load you have wired to the dimmer.
