Lutron Caseta module

Is it possible to create a module for Caseta switches? I have not seen any API or SDK for these switches.

google search on ‘lutron caseta rest api’ returns at least two github repos and some discussion of the integration documentation

I looked into this a little over a year ago, and to be honest, you’ll likely have a better time of this if you connect your lights to a smart hub, such as Wink or SmartThings. Maybe things have changed since I last looked at it, but Lutron’s Caseta API isn’t really made available to the public. The existing work you’ll find will either be someone reverse engineering things, or it is to support Lutron’s professional offerings, which may only partially support Caseta.

The Wink hub supports Lutron Caseta for sure, but I’m not sure about SmartThings. In any case, they have a much better API for integrating with connected devices. I wrote a module some time ago that monitors a Wink hub for door lock status, but the mechanism is more or less the same for connected lights. You can take a look to get an idea of how it works:

I hope this helps!

@j-e-f-f thanks i’ve seen your module , but i don’t really want to buy another hub.
I’m thinking using MMM-homeassistant module to see if i can make it show through there.

@adubrovs Yeah good thought! Hope it works for you.
