This blueprint worked great with my CC2531 coordinator, but today I switched to the Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 coordinator and the Lutron dimmer is the only device I can’t get working. Flashed the newest firmware on the coordinator before migrating everything over. The Lutron is definitely showing up in ZHA, just no response to button press or dial. It seems like the only sub entity HA has is for the Aurora’s battery sensor.

I had the same desire, I tweaked Brent’s great code to toggle instead of following the dimmer’s brightness settings. Try this: ZHA - Lutron Aurora Dimmer Blueprint - toggle button press
This is one of my frustrations with the Lutron Aurora. The issue is that it has its own local state on the device itself, which it treats as the source of truth, and there doesn’t seem to be any way to push updates to it to sync it with the Home Assistant state.
If you turn on a light in Home Assistant, the Aurora thinks that the light is still off. When you press it, it’s sending a “turn on light” message (in reality it actually sends a “set brightness to 255”) but the light is already on! That’s why it takes two presses — the second time, it actually knows that the light is on.
There’s a similar issue with dimming, in that the current dimmer value is stored on the device too, and brightness is sent as an absolute value (i.e. “set brightness to 150”) rather than a relative value (i.e. “decrease brightness by 30”). If you dim the light in Home Assistant, the Aurora still thinks that the brightness is the old value, so if you turn it to dim/brighten, it will start from the old brightness, as if you had never changed it in Home Assistant.
Other devices use a “toggle” event for press, and two separate brightness increase and brightness decrease events for dimming, which ends up being more flexible. The Aurora only sends “set brightness to x” events.
Not sure about ZHA but I use Zigbee2MQTT and there’s no way to differentiate button presses from brightness changes, as the payloads look the same

Oddly your blueprint also doesn’t work for me. Are you using the SonOff v3 USB coordinator? Much appreciated!!
Did you ever get it working? I am having the same issue with the lutron dimmer and sonoff zigbee 3.0. I have been able to connect it to ZHA but the only thing it returns is the battery level. Nothing comes up on events when the button is clicked or dimmer rotated. Thank you!
I just got some of my un-used Auroras out last week when I found this blueprint. I was able to Pair the Auroras to ZHA and my Cnnbee II but automations I create only seem to work after i’ve toggled the aurora a few times, almost like they are asleep.
Two of the AUroras work right away and those are both about 2 feet away from the Conbee II stick but i have 4 others that are between 25 - 45 feet away that are non-responsive for a few seconds unless I tap or turn the dial a bunch.
Seems like its related to ZHA or the Conbee stick rather than the automation but does anyone have any tips on how to get it to be a bit more responsive. I have a few other devices paired via ZHA that are further away and work fine.
I just got this device and originally got it hooked up fine to my Nortek HUSBZB-1 and I tried bjpetit’s blueprint but it wasn’t reacting well to the button presses. I then realized I could pair it directly with my bulb which works great and no issues with the button presses or dimming.
I managed to keep this bulb pair and it appears I still have the device in Home Assistant as well, but I am not 100% sure the device is really connected…I can’t seem to test for any events in the Developer Events.
Anyway, has anyone utilized the direct bulb pairing and ZHA in Home Assistant? I would like to at least monitor the battery state (show’s it is there) in Home Assistant and maybe have the switch also do something else in the future when button is pressed or dimmer is used, along with controlling the paired bulb.
I’m seeing some interesting behavior from my Aurora. It was working no problem until I switched from a conbee II to HA’s skyconnect. Now when I listen for events, I only occasionally can register the click events (transition time of 7), though dim events (transition time 2) come through just fine. It seems unpredictable, as sometimes it will register 3 or 4 click events in a row, but then it just won’t register any for like 10 minutes. Is anyone else seeing behavior like this?

Having the same issue with SkyConnect and Lutron Aurora. Button press events very rarely register. It seems like they occasionally do when I go to lowest brightness by spinning the wheel down and then pressing the button, but otherwise can’t use button press currently.
I’m using with ZHA and this blueprint: Blueprint for Lutron Aurora automations in ZHA. Toggles light on each button press · GitHub
I had the same issue and had to switch to a Conbee II to get it working right.
