Lutron Configuration in 0.37

Development
1

I am trying to use the new Lutron binding in HASS 0.37 however I have not been successful. In the configuration page it says it will auto discover however this hasn’t been the case for me. I can connect to the hub manually (with telnet) and the lutron component in openhab is working so I think my hardware is ok.

I have also attempted adding configuration based on my reading of component source code (lutron.py) as follows.

lutron:
  lutron_host: 10.0.1.242
  lutron_user: "lutron"
  lutron_password: "integration"

however after doing so I receive the following error:

17-02-04 12:48:43 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.bootstrap] Error during setup of component lutron

Any ideas?

I’m having the exact same problem. Still exists in the latest version 0.38.2

So I have done lots of digging. The Lutron Caseta Pro hub exports its configuration differently from the radioRA hub. I have forked the pylutron code and am working on support for Lutron Caseta. To configure it you have to export the configuration from the Lutron Caseta app (settings->Advanced->integration->Send Integration Report) and store it with your configuration.yaml, it is exported as a JSON object as opposed to the RadioRA XML based confguration. The structure of the devices / switches is quite different but I have a basic mapping put together for managing switches and pico remotes.

I’m still working on it but it seems promising so far:

Thanks for the quick reply.

Luckily I already emailed myself the configuration earlier…
Unfortunately, creating a config.json file in the same folder as configuration.yaml, and pasting that Integration Report in there, doesn’t work for me…still get the same error

5

you’ll need to clone my fork of the code, but I don’t have it fully working yet, I’ll update once I get it tested.

6

Cool…which part works and which part doesn’t? (i.o.w.: what can you control/do now and what not?)

I’d be more than happy to help or test your code.

So, installing your fork individually is enough? That just taps into the python-caseta code?
Or are there any other manual actions required? (other than creating that config.json file in the same directory as configuration.yaml)

I cloned the git and edited the test.py. Throws an error when I run test.py as Pi user, but seems to work when I run it in virtual environment (where HASS is running too). Now, it is currently installed in the site-packages folder. Can it remain there or does it need to be copied into the HASS depts folder?

7

Any updates/info regarding progress or my questions, Scott?

8

I too am very interested in this- would love for lutron caseta to work with ha

Are you able to successfully connect to the Lutron Pro2 hub?

I keep receiving the following errors (and I did update to the latest version you committed 3 days ago):

Yup successfully working with my Pro2 hub. It looks like its trying to connect as a RadioRA2 hub which makes sense since I forgot to share how to set the config.

with the current pushed version the config should look like this::

lutron:
lutron_host: “10.0.1.242”
lutron_user: “lutron”
lutron_password: “integration”
lutron_caseta: “true”
lutron_caseta_config: “caseta_config.json”

11

I’m getting the same errors. I’m pretty new to importing custom code, so forgive me if I missed something obvious.

Here’s what I did to install the component:

I replaced /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/pylutron/init.py with the version from your github.
I exported the Integration Report from the Lutron app and saved it as caseta_config.json in the same directory as configuration.yaml.

Did I miss something?

Here’s my config:

lutron:
  lutron_host: "10.1.1.24"
  lutron_user: "lutron"
  lutron_password: "integration"
  lutron_caseta: "true"
  lutron_caseta_config: "caseta_config.json"

Here’s the error messages:

Making progress on the Pico remotes, should have them working very soon.

It looks like it is heading down the RadioRA2 path (which querys the configuration via loading an XML from the hub, the caseta pro series hubs doesn’t have that feature so you get the connection refused errors).

To recap; you need the following:
My fork of home assistant: GitHub - scottjgibson/home-assistant: 🏡 Open-source home automation platform running on Python 3
My fork of pylutron: GitHub - scottjgibson/pylutron
The following keys in your configuration.yaml:

lutron:
  lutron_host: "X.X.X.X"
  lutron_user: "lutron" 
  lutron_password: "integration"
  lutron_caseta: "true"
  lutron_caseta_config: "caseta_config.json"

Once I get the Pico remotes working I’ll likely clean up the configuration keys (better naming and defaults for user/pass), but for the current commits what is above should work. I would love to find a way to get the json config automatically but as far as I know it has to be a manual activity.

I have the Lutron Caseta (non-Pro) hub and from the iOS app, under settings > advanced is just two options (Time and Location, Range Extender). Not sure why I can’t see the Integration Report. Any ideas??

14

Unfortunately the integration interface (telnet) and integration report is only available on the pro hub.

Scott

15

That’s what I thought. So does this mean the non-pro hubs are SOL? Or could there be a version that reads the config from them at some point in the future? I currently have only one lutron switch, the rest of my lights are Hue so it’s not a deal breaker, but it’s also annoying to have the one light that doesn’t respond to any of my HA scenes :wink:

16

As far as I know there isn’t another way to integrate the non-pro hub. Previously I used a rooted wink hub to provide MQTT support for lutron, but I found it unstable so I got the pro hub.

17

I would too if I had more than one light switch. I may expand if I go for the blinds at some point if/when it’s in HA. Thanks for your help!

18

Aha, looks like I needed the components/lutron.py from your fork. Using those two files, it works! Instantaneous local control of my Caseta switches. Now I just need a good Zigbee radio and I can ditch my Wink hub entirely.

Thanks a lot @scottjgibson, I really hope this gets included in the GA code. If you need someone to test the pico remotes (or any new code), let me know, I’ve got a bunch of them.

19

Just gave this a try, and it worked perfectly for me! (One wired-in caseta wall dimmer, one plug-in lamp dimmer that I wired in to my ceiling fan’s light and control via pico remote – both work perfectly.) Thanks. :slight_smile:

Looking forward to giving this a try @scottjgibson …thanks for your efforts! There is some really good code here: http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,35577.0.html although written in LUA cybrmage has pretty much discovered everything there is to know about the Lutron SmartBridge. His plugin supports both the SmartBridge and SmartBridge Pro as well as automatically pulls in the device configuration.

Anyhow, thought it might be something that would provide a helpful reference!
