I’d like to get the Lutron Pro hub/bridge, but I wanted to make sure that things like adding devices to the hub (“pairing”) can be done locally. The examples I’ve seen are doing things like dimming bulbs and stuff, but I couldn’t find one where you add devices to the Lutron network without using the Lutron app.
It’s easiest to use the app to add devices to the Casetta hub. For everything else, including automations, the HA integration is 100% local. Then you may delete app if you chose.
