I tried this for the pico 4 button 2 group remote which is PJ2-4B-GXX-X21 (Pico4Button2Group), but unfortunately it does not work.
I am a new user of home assistant and still learning.
I would appreciate it if anyone can help me fix the code for this specific remote as well.
I managed to get the other code in your reference to work with the 5 button pico remote.
But I could not get this one to work.
These types of remotes are only compatible with Radio RA3 and QS Homeworks and do not work with the Caséta hub (pro or regular)
None of my pico devices are appearing in the selector drop down. I checked the devices and they are showing as
model: PJ2-4B-GXX-X31 (Pico4ButtonScene)
Any ideas?
Make sure the remotes appear in the list of devices on your instance.
Search for “PJ2-4B-GXX-X31 (Pico4ButtonScene)” up at the top of the page to filter the list.
If your remotes are in that list, they should be available in the drop down. If they are in the list, but still not in the drop down, then I’m not sure what’s going on.
In my case, I’m using the remotes paired with a Lutron Caséta Smart Bridge Pro.
According to the documentation…
Pico and Shade remotes are supported on the Smart Bridge (L-BDG2-WH), Smart Bridge PRO (L-BDGPRO2-WH), and RA2 Select (RR-SEL-REP2-BL) models.
What I don’t know is if the remotes appear with the exact same model string, or if it can vary if, for instance, you’re using the Smart Bridge or RA2 Select.
I hope that gives you enough to go on.
I found this note in another blueprint, it might be what you are looking for:
Make sure you have enabled at least one Pico Event Entity for each device, they are default to not enabled as of 2023.3, otherwise they won't show up as an available device in the drop down list.
from blueprint: Lutron Caséta Pico 4/5 Button Remote Advanced Actions (Core Integration)
How does one connect this 4-button pico to Caseta? I have the Pro Hub but it does not appear possible to connect this pico to this hub. I bought a PJ2-4B-GXX-X31 to test this but it will not register with the Pro hub.
I got it to work. I wasn’t selecting the 4B graphic at the bottom of the “Add Device” Pico UI section. Worked like a charm.
I then brought the device into HA and used the Blueprint above without any issues. Thank you all for this!
Hi Matt great work!
I was playing around with your PJ2-4B blueprint this weekend.
I was trying to create basically a timed toggle.
Actions
Turn Off
Wait 5
Turn On
Everything worked great except for the wait. It just stopped at that point.
After some troubleshooting and comparing to a standard automation or script which completed the actions, I found the automation had a mode: single at the end of the yaml.
I added that to the blueprint and then the wait worked as expected.
Not sure when they started the mode and its settings but I thought you might want to add to the blueprint.
I’m adopting your blueprint with some ideas, if anything is useful I will let you know.
I have the 4B Pico except mine is the model with just a Power symbol on each button. So I use mine not as much for scenes but being able to say toggle on/off 4 diff devices.
Thanks again for the work!
I created an integration that provides a flexible way to use Lutron Pico remotes (including the newer Paddle Pico) as general-purpose controllers inside Home Assistant.
