I'm new to the Lutron Hub, only got it for HE. I have some other Lutron switches I was able to add and worked right away.
My issue is I have 1 Pico remote for my hallway at the bottom of the steps and at the top I have a lutron switch. They worked will together ever since I added them on wink. I tried resetting the remote and then adding. I can add it when I go under Pico remote-3BRL version, hold the down button for 10 sec and it sees and pairs it, yet I can't control it from the app which is making it non-responsive as well via HE.
Does the Lutron app not play nice when adding a switch and remote to control the sale 1 light?
Not only do they play nicely, but you can pair the pick to a (Lutron Caseta) switch or dimmer and also pair both the switch/dimmer and the Pick to the Hubitat Elevation hub. This results in a mind boggling array of options.
Can you pair a Pico to both a Caseta switch/dimmer and the Bridge network? I thought it was one or the other. You can still do what you want: get the Pico visible to the Bridge, then configure whatever action you want on the Caseta switch/dimmer in Hubitat (or possibly the Lutron app and have Hubitat activate that; I confess that I only got the Bridge for the Picos, so I've never done this and don't know what the full options are there).
Switched over to the PC so I could type faster . . .
So, here's an example: I have a hall light that was wired as a two-way with switches. I replaced one of the switches with a Lutron Caseta dimmer and the other with a Pico. I paired the Pico with the Dimmer according to Lutron instructions (holding the off button on the dimmer for 10 seconds, then holding the off button on the Pico for 10 seconds). This allows the Pico to be the other switch for this two-way setup. I also paired the Dimmer with the Lutron Caseta Pro Hub, again following the Lutron instructions (following the prompts in the Lutron App). It appears that the Pico joins with the Lutron Caseta Pro hub automagically - it just shows up. I checked the Integration Report from the Lutron App and added both the dimmer and the Pico to Hubitat. I added the Pico for push/hold (device p) when I defined it in the Lutron Integration on Hubitat. I did that for a reason.
I can control the lights with the dimmer or with the Pico. The buttons work the same way on both. But I added the Pico using the Button Controller on Hubitat so that if I hold button 3 down (the round/dome button on a Pico) it turns all the hallway lights on (the hallway has three separate circuits). If I hold button 5 (the off button) down it turns off all the hallway lights. Yet tapping button 3 or button 5 still gives the default action defined by Lutron.
What I am finding is using techniques like this, I don't really need as many Picos as I thought I would.
Yes, bertabcd1234, you can. You and I were typing at the same time. I have provided one fairly simple example (above). I'm a novice with Lutron so I'm sure Bruce and Patrick and some of the other Lutron experts can provide a lot more information.
I think Bruce described it as the Lutron Caseta Pro hub will see the button activity first and (begin to) act on it but those actions are also passed through to Hubitat Elevation where you can use them to trigger other actions (Bruce, please correct me if I have mixed this up, I sent you an invitation). It really makes for a lot of possible options.
iecus, just to make sure you aren't missing a step: when you add a device to your Lutron Caseta Pro hub, you then have to add that device into the Lutron Integration in your Hubitat Elevation. This requires knowing the Luton hub's device number for the device. You find that device number in the Integration Report that you can run from the Lutron App.
What I do is save a copy of the Integration Report to Google Drive from my phone. Then I copy it to my PC desktop so I can open it and read it as I am adding devices into the Lutron Integration on Hubitat Elevation.
Thanks Eric, but I know how to do all of that already as I have my other Lutron switches added to the lutron app and into the HE lutron integration, the issue is though the pico remote pairs in the lutron app, via the lutron app I can't control the light from the lutron app, via the lutron app I could tap on the switches I added and the lights come on and goes off, the pico just does nothing.
Yeah, just checking! You should be able to use the Pico, or the Lutron App, or anything you have setup on Hubitat. I am not aware of any one of those that excludes one of the others.
I have noticed, and I bet you have too, that some of the procedures (for joining or pairing) that Lutron says take like 6 seconds take more like 10 or 12 seconds but as long as you look for the other responses that shouldn't fool you!
