I've ported all 35 Lutron devices over, and can control them* in the Devices tab
We have a long window in the living room covered by 3 lutron serena shades.
We have a kitchen and dining room shade as well
We have a pico "shades" remote
I want the shades remote to control all 3 shade at once with its normal behavior
1 - fully open
2 - open a bit (press) / open while holding (press + hold)
3 - go to "favorite position"
4 - close a bit (press) / close while holding (press + hold)
5 - close each shade to a specific position ( we have cats that like to look outside at night so we close the living room 3 to it to like 95% and the other 2 fully.
I created a "virtual shade device" for the 3 living room shades but I don't see a way to add devices into that virtual device. Later I'll want a dashboard button for (kitchen, dining room, and combined 3 living room) as well as distinct left/middle/right shades as we occasionally need to open just the right one where the handle for the sliding glass wall is.
Also for really simple 1to1 shade operations via pico do you have to set up rule machine for that?
1 - fully open (to limit)
2 - open a bit (press) / open while holding (press + hold)
3 - go to "favorite position"
4 - close a bit (press) / close while holding (press + hold)
5 - Fully close (to limit
Hold on. I'll have this confirmed in a bit for you. The app you want to use is Button Controller. I'll create some virtual shades and see how my Picos control them .....
hmm, ok, made 2 new "dimmer" groups 1 with all 5 shades, 1 with the 3 living room window shades, but when I go to those groups it thinks they're lights not shades.
looks like "Set Level" is working to control them. Although...
A. They don't move in sync (OCD problem)
B. They didn't all stop at the exact same place Also OCD problem)
I might need to readjust their "limits" in the Lutron app to resolve the second one, but not sure about the first.
I think that a limitation of the telnet connection between Hubitat and the Caseta bridge.
Although the devices are grouped in hubitat, they are not grouped on the bridge. So commands to control all three are sent sequentially and not in unison.
hmm, ok, now what? On the device list for the Pico I don't see an obvious way to assign each button to a function? it shows it as a 5 button (correct) and has a big button for push and release but not per button, and no reference to hold (for buttons 2 and 4)
if i want push and push and hold actions do I need to add the pico twice in the Lutron integration once with Push and release and once with Push and hold?
ok, got the basics, all 5 are moving together now as expected. Just need to re-add the pico with the hold functions, and change the "close" function to affect the 2 groups differently and I'll be all set.
Do each of the built in components like "Button controller 3.0" have github components that I can log bugs and feature requests on?
Maybe I’m reading this wrong but, in button controller pushed, released and and held are separate triggers. So held starts the blinds up or down and released stops them.
You shouldn’t have the remote in the Lutron integration twice.
Actions on 1,3,5 use the "shade" component which only allows for open, close and set absolute value
2, and 4 are using dimmer component so you can do adjustments to the current state
1 and 5 work fine
2, and 4 "push" work the shade is moved up or down by 5%
2, and 4 hold don't do anything, or they move one unit of 5 then, nothing else, hard to say if they're doing push, then failing or one instance of hold...
push on 3 and hold on 3 aren't responding at all.
What am I doing wrong here?
and also, why isn't +/- incrementing part of the shade function? (e.g. why do I have to switch over to dimmer to do this?
I've tried a bunch of different configurations, and nothing works, open and close are fine, but the "favorites" button 3 and the raise and lower while holding just aren't responding at all. Not sure what else to do to get this working...
