Looking for Caseta, RRa2 Select, and RRa3 owners

I'm working on a plugin for the Lutron Leap protocol, which is used by Caseta, RRa2 Select, and RRa3. Specifically, installations using one of these devices:

* Lutron Caséta Smart Hub (L-BDG2-WH)
* Lutron Caséta Smart Bridge PRO (L-BDGPRO2-WH)
* RadioRA 2 Select Main Repeater (RR-SEL-REP2-BL)
* RadioRA 3 All-in-One Processor (RR-PROC3)
* Homeworks QSX Processor (HQP7)

I'm using an unofficial API library, which has minimal documentation. It's intended for use with Home Assistant, so I'm having to figure out how it works by reading the library and Home Assistant component code. Not fun.

I purchased a minimal Caseta setup (hub, plugin module, pico remote) for initial testing. Which is fine. But I really need some data on occupancy sensors, non-pico keypads, fans, etc.

If you have one of the above devices, and would be willing to install the plugin and send me some log output from it, that would be great.

Joe,

I have a Lutron Caséta Smart Bridge PRO (L-BDGPRO2). The only device I currently have is a Lutron Caséta 4 speed fan control (PD-FSQN-WH).

Your Lutron plug-in v2022.0.7 is installed and the fan device is operable within Indigo.

Due to a recent move and renting at the moment, the fan device is connected in a test setup and wired to a floor fan.

I would be happy to provide any data on the fan device if that is helpful to you.

Thank you,
Jody

Thanks. I'll post instructions later this week.

I have a small Caseta (regular) and a Caseta Pro hub installed each has a few plug-in modules and a couple of Picos.

I have a large RA2 Select installed with occupancy sensors and Picos.

I have a RA2 main repeater with one 1 or 2 RA2 installed - I have a Seetouch keypad in an old Insteon Desktop enclosure 110V adapter that I could probably plug in (it was configured, but I never got around to doing much with it).

I have a Ra3 main repeater that I have never gotten around to install. Got some kind of certificate error trying to initially set it up and haven't (yet) tried to get through that. I have two Sunnata style (I,e, ClearConnectX) units for it, (It was/is a testing lab setup for me, but no clients have wanted it yet, so it sits in the queue.)

I have to run Lutron PC tools in a Parallels VM as the only PC's I have are ancient and barely boot, so a PITA and I simply use RA2 Select for myself as advanced automations are done in Indigo or HomeKit mainly.

I can give some of this a go, let me know what you need and how.

Curious - I thought LEAP was primarily an issue with HomeWorks QSX and RA3 which have eliminated Telnet. Is it also used with existing systems? (On second thought, I guess those reverse-engineered drivers for Habitat, HA, and other systems that already support Caseta must be using the earlier version of LEAP ?)

Some only do Telnet, some only do Leap, some can do either. The non-Pro caseta hub only does Leap. The Pro hub does both. This is a good summary : https://www.home-assistant.io/integrati ... on_caseta/

I'm using the same underlying Python library that used by this Home Assistant component.

I didn't get enough done this week to release the test plugin. And I leave monday for a few weeks, so it'll be December before I can get back to this.

First test release available: https://github.com/FlyingDiver/Indigo-L ... g/2022.0.0

When the plugin starts up, it uses zero-conf (aka Bonjour) to get a list of Lutron bridge-type devices on your LAN. Not all discovered devices work with the plugin (the RRa2 Connect Bridge does not, for example). Create a "Lutron Bridge" plugin device, and select your bridge from the popup. If nothing shows up, make sure the device is online (you can see it in the Lutron mobile app). You can enable detailed debugging to see if the discovery process is doing anything. I

When you create the Bridge device, you'll be prompted to pair the plugin with the bridge. You need to press the pairing button on the device. On the Caseta hub I'm testing with, it's a button next to the power connector. You should see something like this in the Indigo log:

Code: Select all

   Lutron Leap                     Starting pairing process for Bridge Lutron-05124472.local., please press the pairing button on the Bridge.
   Lutron Leap                     Pairing complete: Bridge version is 1.115.


Once that's complete, use the menu command to "Write Bridge Data to Log". Then do "Create Devices from Bridge". Then please post that log info here so I can add support for the devices you have that I don't.

Here's a useful app for seeing what Bonjour devices are on your network: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/discovery ... 4916?mt=12

New pre-release with functional button triggers: https://github.com/FlyingDiver/Indigo-L ... g/2022.0.1

Joe,

I was using your previous Lutron plugin so I deleted the bridge and fan device and the disabled the Lutron RA2/Caseta plugin. I did not, however; delete the Fan device from the Lutron iPhone App.

I installed the Lutron Leap Plugin v2022.0.1. The bridge paired without issue and was created in Indigo.

Let me know if you need further information to assist.

Jody

No need to disable the other plugin. I think they will both work at the same time.

I hadn't implemented Fans yet because I didn't have the data. I'll do that soon and post an update.

Jody - can you set your fan to various speeds, and do the data log command between each one? I just need these lines:

Code: Select all

                "current_state": -1,
                "fan_speed": "Off",


Actually, I'd also like to see what if anything is in the log when you change the state of the fan.

Thanks!

Joe,

Thank you Joe!

Excellent. I wasn't sure what "current_state" would end up being. I guess that's only used for dimmers and such.

looking at this. have been eyeing the Lutron things. what bridge device should I look at? And which Lutron devices should I focus on as a starter with these products?

Any items that you particularly like that you can't get with zwave?

Thanks for the help...

Lutron has multiple product lines, so it really depends on how big an install you're looking at. For single rooms or a small house, Caseta is fine. Some people really don't like the Caseta keypads (Pico style), but others don't mind them. That works for switches, dimmers, plug-in dimmers, motion sensors, etc. The cheaper (non-Pro) hub works with the new LEAP plugin. The Pro hub works with both plugins.

Above that you're looking at Radio Ra, That's the whole home solution. My current home is all Radio Ra 2, but Radio Ra 3 is their current system in that line and my new house (construction this year) will be RRa3,

Above that is Homeworks, and that's for 10,000 sq ft houses or when you want to use the Lutron system for all the automation. The plugins support is, but I'm not sure any Indigo users use it.

Z-wave works for most of the same things Lutron does, but Lutron does some things better. Like lighting scenes. When you program a scene in Lutron, all the devices go to the programmed level at the same time. No stagger between them. Which can be a big deal if you have a lot of circuits in one room that all change at the same time.
