Lutron Dimmer Pro Middle Button

Sorry if this has been answered somewhere before, but I couldn't find anything.

I have the Lutron PD-5NE-WH ELV Caseta Wireless Electronic Low Voltage In-Wall Dimmer (Dimmer with the middle button) and I would love to be able to program that to trigger a scene. With the pico remotes, I simply use the button app and program each button to do whatever I want. However, the dimmer doesn't appear in the list of available button devices.

Any tips for how I can use it mostly as a dimmer switch but also use the middle button to trigger a scene (Instead of the Lutron favorite).

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure the dimmer doesn't work the same way a pico does. The button on the dimmer is a "favorite" button which allows you to return to a previous favorite setting. It isn't exposes as a separate button that HE can respond to like a Pico can.

There is one sort of kludgy way you could do it. First program the favorite button to some level, and figure out exactly what that level is in Hubitat. Then use a Trigger in Rule Machine that fires off the dimmer being set to that level, and when it is, activate the scene.

If your dimmer is included in the scene that doesn't seem like such a back workaround. Might be delayed by a second or two but butter than nothing.
