Lutron Caseta Smart Bridge Pro not working with Home Assistant

Configuration
1

My Lutron Caseta Smart Bridge Pro arrived today, and I got it configured and on the network.

After a little struggling with the setup, I was able to generate my certs and keys from the python script per the documetation.

After configuring Home Assistant for the Smart Bridge Pro, I restarted it, and noticed that the logs were complaining about a certificate error:

ssl.SSLError: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:777)

I checked the permissions on the certificates (all good) and more googling found a workaround to modify the python

Modify this:
/srv/hass/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pylutron_caseta/smartbridge.py

Change line 50 :
To this:
ssl_context.verify_mode = ssl.CERT_NONE

instead of
ssl_context.verify_mode = ssl.CERT_REQUIRED

Now the module loads… and nothing happens. No errors, no anything…

What am I missing here?

Well, I was able to get it working with this custom module on github:

I am disturbed by the need to utilize telnet, but at least it is all working now.
It is strange that the out-of-the-box integration did not work for the pro, and I have no idea why this is the case.
