I have no problem seeing the picos changing the Hubitat but the Lutron lights (switches) will not turn on the lights even when I push 1 and it shows up in the hub I just can't for the life of me turn on the Lutron wired lights. what am I missing?
Welcome to the forum. I assume you have a Pro Lutron hub and it is connected to your Hubitat Hub via the built-in Lutron Integrator. Do you have the Picos configured in the Lutron app to control lights? If so, that is the problem, as the Picos cannot be configured in that app. Then you use Button Controller to configure the Picos to control the lights.

I don’t think I understand what problem(s) you’re trying to describe. Let’s try to break it down a bit.
What do you mean by “picos changing the Hubitat?”
Are you referring to pushing the buttons on a physical switch? Or a device page in the Hubitat web UI?

First off thank you for trying to help The fast response is refreshing.
I think I'm not being clear due to my lack of understanding. I have a pico and a Lutron switch in my kitchen both are hooked to the Lutron app. How do I make it so I can turn on the lights with the Hubitat and also use the switches? What is the best way to learn the lights
pushing the UI
I see the change in the ui , the lights do not go on if I use the Ui , if I push the real switch the lights send the same action to the UI but no light goes on.
Thank you for your help ! Sorry I'm confusing.
The integration between Lutron switches and Hubitat is managed by a Lutron Pro-series hub. This is not the standard Lutron hub.
One your Lutron devices are paired to the pro hub using the Lutron app, you can load the Lutron app on the hub, connect it to the Lutron pro hub, and configure your devices on HE. Once configured they simply appear to Hubitat as switches or dimmers or fan controllers or whatever.
Pics can either be paired directly to Lutron switches or to the Lutron hub. If they are paired directly to switches they are not accessible to HE. If they are paired to the pro hub they can be configured like any other Lutron device and appear to HE as button controllers.
Hope this helps!
Thank you !
I do have a pro hub, so best way would be to unlearn the switches and relearn them to the habitat? how would I see it in the telnet if its not paired to the Lutron hub?
Excellent!
No actually the way you have it done now is the only way. What you need to do now is follow these instructions to get your Lutron pro hub talking to HE... in the future when you add a Lutron device it's a two-step process. First you add it to the Lutron hub, then to the Lutron app on HE.
I think I understand , Ill get back to you how this works out thank you
No problem. If you have other questions feel free to ask. Once you get the hang of it it's pretty simple.
I have about 40 Lutron devices - they're awesome. Good choice.

As you set things up, make sure that integration you have the following set
ip of the lutron pro hub (make sure the pro 2 hub either has a static ip or a dhcp reservation so the ip doesn't change)
The proper format in the configuration list
type code, integration # (you'll get this by exporting your integration list from the lutron app on your phone), the name (you can change this to what ever you want. It doesn't even have to be the same thing that's in the integration list)
all this is done now how do I control my Lutron switch to go on and off with habitat , I see all my hue lights but not the kitchen main lights that's a Lutron controlled switch. Do I unlearn the main switches from the Lutron hub? Not sure why I can't see them in the habitat as a light switch
If everything is proper in the integration, those devices should now be in your device list... (click devices on the left hand side)
Ideally, you should pair your Pico remotes directly with the Lutron dimmer or switch that they are to control. That way, even if the Hubitat hub and the Lutron Pro bridge are offline, the Pico will still control the corresponding light.
You should also have the Pico paired with the Lutron Pro bridge and have all correspondences defined in the Lutron app.
Finally, all of the Lutron devices whether Picos, switches or dimmers should be integrated with Hubitat by linking the hub with the bridge through the Telnet integration.
If you want to control your Lutron devices using voice contol using a smart speaker (I use Amazon Alexa), you need to authorize that speaker to access all the Lutron switches and dimmers. It is not necessary to authorize the Pico remotes unless they are being used to control a device or app other than a Lutron switch or dimmer and plan to trigger it through voice control.
They are there they just don't work , that has been the problem that's driving me crazy they just show up and when you look at the switch in the Hubitat software you can see the bit changing when you hit the switch but the lights do not go on them when I make a button the wired true switch will not show up as a device. Thanks for helping me I understand its been a long ongoing post but its got me completely frustrated.
So lets go down the list...
You can press the switch physically and the light comes on?
When you open a live log and press the switch, does it register?
What does one of the device pages look like?
What does the integration page look like?
I cleared all the apps involved and reinstalled. after that everything started working correctly. The one thing I found is that if I wanted the picos to work I added them in the integration software then to make them work correctly I have to go in the pico in the device list and change it to a pico in the device software drop down even after the integration software seen it as a pico. I know I'm confusing sorry.
That is certainly strange. One Hint though... If you have a rule to turn off all your lights (I have a whole house shut down routine using the center pico button on each night stand). To avoid slow popcorning create a virtual device using the lutron keypad driver. (add whatever buttons needed). Add the keypad to the integration as k,1,whatever you decide to name it. Create an all off scene in the lutron app and name it something. Re export the integration report and look for that scene and note the number.
So from my below rule, all lights turn off at the same time with no popcorning
