EXAMPLE: 1 motion detector and 1 Lutron Caseta Wall Dimmer. ACTION NEEDED: When I walk into the hall area of the motion detector I want it to turn on the light and dim to a decreased light level using Basic Rule or Machine Rule. PROBLEM: Using either Rule will not recognize the Lutron Caseta Wall Dimmer for setting brightness or dimming. The following is an example using Basic Rule.
STEP 1: (a.) When a MOTION SENSOR (b.) Chose motion sensors HALL MOTION SENSOR (c.) Senses that MOTION IS ACTIVE
STEP 2: (a.) Do this action TURN ON (b.) Selected switches to turn on HALL LIGHT
STEP 3: (a.) And do this action SET BRIGHTNESS [NOTE: For Machine Rule the selection is dimmer] (b.) Select dimmers to set brightness [PROBLEM: Lutron Caseta Wall Dimmer will not show listed. Actually none of the Caseta wall dimmers show listed programmed in the Hubitat for dimming. HOWEVER, I have one GE Enbrightened wall dimmer switch that does show listed for dimming selection. Go Figure.
Does anyone know how to dim Caseta via rules? Does this require a code? Thanks for supporting my question.
Yes, all devices are integrated with Lutron and operational via Hubitat. Yes, I can control each of them from its Hubitat device page. Further, they all work well with simple schedules when to turn on or off through Basic Rules. Zooz motion sensors will turn devices on.
Dimming caseta dimmers doesn't require any special code. Simply put it should be trigger=motion detector, Action=dimmer x gets dimmed to number.
I assume you have a pro bridge 2 and are running the Lutron integration? Are any of these on the devices page on Hubitat? If not, can you snip a sample of your hubitat integration?
Your screenshot show that you have imported all of your Caséta devices as switches, and not dimmers.
Switches are binary (on/off) whereas dimmers are not (dim levels from 0-99%); because your devices are imported as switches, none of them are available as dimmers for Hubitat apps. Here's a small portion of my Lutron integration - notice the distinction between switches (s) and dimmers (d) in the Lutron integrator app?
Damn, @aaiyar beat me to it. Yes, it's because they're all coming through as switches. Dimmers use the d,#,name format and switches use s. Fix that, it should update your device page and then show dimmers.
Thank you all for your patience with me on this subject.
I do have a dedicated IP Address. I showed only part of the number for security purposes.
I contacted Lutron and they confirmed that I have the dimmer switches as dimmers.
I noticed that when adding devices for Lutron there are only 5 devices. None of which lists dimmers and only 1 device for switches. This is the only selection available. See attached.
List of compatible devices for Hubitat shows Lutron "Caseta in-wall smart dimmer switch" as a dimmer with device name "Lutron Switch.
Yikes! Does this mean my investment in Lutron dimmers cannot work fully with Hubitat? There is no selection in Hubitat for Lutron products as dimmers. See attached.
No, the issue is your integration configuration. See @aaiyar pic. In that box anything that you have as a dimmer needs to be changed from an s to a d (case sensitive). This will correct everything.
The documentation has instructions on how to create a new Caséta/RadioRA2/RA2Select integration. When you add devices, you need to manually select the device type to be "s" (switch), "d" (dimmer), "p" (pico) etc. It is this step that your configuration has been done incorrectly.
