BP - Lutron Caseta Pico Paddle Remote Button Actions

I finally was able to sit down and take another look at my previous pico paddle blueprint. Based off of the previous blueprint I had immense trouble editing it to do double clicks and long presses. So I instead I based this edit off of GregTR’s extremely talented blueprints, and just tailored it for use with the new Lutron Pico Paddle Remote.

Let me know how it works for you(, I only have my own testing of actions to base it’s functionality).

Open your Home Assistant instance and show the blueprint import dialog with a specific blueprint pre-filled.

This looks good! I had made one of my own for this remote, but yours is better, so I’ve switched to it. However, I was getting errors on startup like the following. (The automation still ran fine.)

ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.lutron_caseta.device_trigger] Cannot validate trigger {‘platform’: ‘device’, ‘device_id’: ‘xxxx’, ‘domain’: ‘lutron_caseta’, ‘type’: ‘release’, ‘subtype’: ‘on’} because subtype on is invalid

Per this comment, I modified the script to switch from device triggers to event triggers. (As an aside, the issue associated with that comment is not exactly the same as my error. And it seems to have been resolved anyway, so I’m not sure why I’m getting that error. Perhaps it’s a bug with the Lutron Caséta bug core integration that I should reported…) Anyway, here’s my modified version of your script in case anyone is having the same errors.

Thanks for this! I will have to try it out once i install my Caseta switches.
