[Update 1: added automation mode options (single, restart, queued or parallel)] based on @stephack’s recent enhancements

This blueprint allows the user to map actions to buttons on the Lutron Caseta four-button scene pico remote.

  • This works with the core Lutron Caseta integration only.
  • Works with two-button pico remote model PJ2-2B-GXX-X01 (Pico2Button) .
  • Supports press and release action for each button.

I am new to Home Assistant so please do not be upset about this question.

How do I install this Blueprint. Usually Blueprints that I have installed have “click to preview” then install. I think this one has to be installed manually?

How do you do that?

I figured it out. I use the URL from this post. I watched Everything Smart Home on YouTube and he explained it well.

Thank you

Thanks, @ogiewon! Here’s my version. Updated to include actions on a long press and a short press. It also uses trigger ID’s, which I think were introduced to HA after you shared your blueprint.

I’m trying to use this blueprint. I can import it successfully, but when I select “Pico Remote” it returns “No matching devices found.”

I have successfully added the picos to HA, can see then, and even create automations based on them. They just aren’t visible in this blueprint.

I know that 2022 October or November update created some problems with @stephack’s original pico blueprint. (See post here and then here.) This looks like it was resolved in 2022.12.0, but I don’t understand what the problem was or if it’s impacted this blueprint.

Any help would be appreciated!

Following some advice from @stephack in this post many months back, I just updated my blueprint in the first post to comment out the ‘integration’ line below.

      selector:
        device:
          #integration: lutron_caseta
          model: PJ2-2B-GXX-X01 (Pico2Button)

Let me know if that solves the issue or not.

I am not currently using any Pico remotes directly with Home Assistant, which is why I have not been on top of any of these issues over the past few months.

That worked perfectly! Thanks so much.
