For Pico's to control dumb light bulbs, you still need a smart switch, smart dimmer, or some sort of other smart module, correct?

Correct!

The Pico's can't dim a light unless connected to a smart dimmer , correct? They cant make lights dim if they are connected to a standard on/off smart switch, correct?

Correct!

I use Picos to control night-stand/end-table/floor lamps with Sengled Smart Bulbs. It is really great to be able to smoothly dim these smart bulbs just like all of the other Caseta dimmers i have installed. Makes for a consistent user interface, which means a happy family.

I also am using a Hampton Bay Fan Controller, and use the Pico to control both the fan speed, as well as the fan lamp. Again, a consistent UI for family and guests alike.

Other uses include changing the mode of the house, or arming/disarming Hubitat Safety Monitor, etc...

While Pico remotes aren’t magic, they are great due to their versatility and the fact they can easily be wall-mounted, have table stands, and can simply be stuck to a surface. The 10 year battery life is nice as well.
