As w everyone, thanks for your RL app work, but more specifically, your intense commitment to us, answering a Ga-Zillion posts!!
Love your idea of bedside Pico s, for reading, then disabling motion triggered light. Not sure I have the capability like the folks above, but will try to implement.
As such, can a Pico perform dual function, such as remain connected as a Luton integrated Pro bridge Lutron Caserta light controller, & then also be "imported" to Hubitat to function ALSO as a hub device to change modes? Like your bedside RL integrated mode changer?
If not, I will buy another individual Pico.
Again.... sincere thank you for your extreme dedication.

A Pico cannot both do Caseta-only stuff within the Caseta app and also do other stuff via programming within HE -- it has to be one or the other.
The pico must be initially set up in the Caseta app either way, but to use it for other stuff in HE, you just must ensure it's a "blank slate" w/in the Caseta app -- IOW, make sure it's not programmed to control any lights within the Caseta app.
Good stuff -- there was a Black Friday deal on Picos someone posted here last week, but that deal may be expired. May be worth doing a quick Google search to see if any sales are still on anywhere.
It's certainly true you can use a Hubitat Pico to control any Caseta stuff (in addition to most non-Caseta stuff too) via programming in Hubitat, but I've never been able to use a Pico that was programmed via the Caseta app to control Caseta stuff to also then additionally do non-Caseta stuff w/in Hubitat.
But perhaps that is possible somehow - I've certainly been wrong before.
Here are a couple of examples to twist your brain:
Pico (assume 2-button to keep it simple) configured entirely in Lutron to turn on and off a Lutron Switch. If that Pico is also joined to Hubitat through the Lutron configuration, a press of that (on) button could also turn on (or off) a completely different circuit through configuration of Hubitat rules.
Also, as far as I know, Lutron hub doesn't do anything with double-taps. Pico could turn on a light via the native Lutron configuration, also be exposed to Hubitat where it might only act on a double-tap.
If you keep it all straight it's really cool but it's really easy to forget about unintended actions and get really confused.
The key is that the Pico (and the Lutron hub) send the telnet message about the Pico button press (to the Hubitat hub) regardless of whether the Lutron hub did something about it (or not).
