Greetings! I’m in the getting-my-feet-wet stage of this whole home automation stuff, and loving it.
My current setup includes a Lutron Caseta dimmer switch (connected to a Smartbridge non-pro version) which is connected to a Vera Lite (running the Lutron Caste Plugin). The Vera is connected to the hass via the Vera config entry. This all works - I can control the dimmer from the HA page. Everything is hunky dory, except…
When I load the Home app on my iPhone, I can tap the Light and it will turn on/off as I tap on it. When I “3D touch” on the light it shows a dimmer switch but the dimmer doesn’t respond.

after changing the brightness on the web front:
{"attributes": {"Vera Device Id": 12, "brightness": 36, "friendly_name": "Basement", "supported_features": 1}, "entity_id": "light.basement", "last_changed": "2017-02-20T03:19:07.074459+00:00", "last_updated": "2017-02-20T03:19:07.074459+00:00", "state": "on"}
So I’m not sure where to post this. I’m not sure which logs to watch or to see how each thing is talking to the other thing. Is there a difference between a light and a dimmer? Any thoughts on how to troubleshoot this? Many thanks.
