Lutron Caseta
Lutron is an American lighting control company. They have several lines of home automation devices that manage light switches, dimmers, occupancy sensors, HVAC controls, etc. The lutron_caseta
component in Home Assistant is responsible for communicating with the Lutron Caseta Smart Bridge for the Caseta product line of dimmers, switches and shades.
This component only supports the Caseta line of products. Both Smart Bridge (L-BDG2-WH) and Smart Bridge PRO (L-BDGPRO2-WH) models are supported. For the RadioRA 2 product line, see the Lutron component.
The currently supported Caseta devices are:
- Wall and plug-in dimmers as Home Assistant lights
- Wall switches as Home Assistant switches
- Scenes as Home Assistant scenes
- Lutron shades as Home Assistant covers
When configured, the lutron_caseta
component will automatically discover the currently supported devices as setup in the Lutron Smart Bridge. The name assigned in the Lutron mobile app will be used to form the entity_id
used in Home Assistant. e.g. a dimmer called ‘Bedroom Lamp’ becomes light.bedroom_lamp
in Home Assistant.
To use Lutron Caseta devices in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml
file using the IP of your Smart Bridge:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
lutron_caseta:
host: IP_ADDRESS
Configuration variables:
- host (Required): The IP address of the Lutron Smart Bridge.
It is recommended to assign a static IP address to your Lutron Smart Bridge. This ensures that it won’t change IP address, so you won’t have to change the host
if it reboots and comes up with a different IP address.
Use a DHCP reservation on your router to reserve the address or in the PRO model of the Smart Bridge, set the IP address under Network Settings in the Advanced / Integration menu in the mobile app.
