Loxone + Lutron Integration.

[Sushil Singh]

I am controlling all the Lutron Caseda switches and dimmers in my home using the loxone System. 

Here is the server code that I am using to bridge between the systems (https://github.com/sushilks/lutronjs) 

On the Loxone side, I use virtual HTTP input/output.

The Lutron dimmers are fairly easy to install, as it does not require any additional wiring. Also the wireless range has been great.

Nice one Sushil. I have never seen someone integrating Caseta. We do have a couple of customers who integrated Loxone with Lutron Ra2 in the past.

It's mostly a hobby for me, building whatever I need for my home. 

Next I am going to work on connecting Somfy blind motors for curtain control.

Thanks for the update Sushil.

I install Home Automation systems for clients and I've just signed up as a Loxone partner. So I'm still getting familiar with Loxone.

I'm not quite sure yet all the steps needed to tie it all together.

How did you learn?

For me, it was fairly easy to get everything working. One weekend of work.  The reliability has been great no issues seen so far. Right now I have about 15 devices on the system.

For each device added there are no additional changes on the server side, you just have to onboard it using the Lutron app and the server should see it.

Loxone Config is somewhat manual takes a bit of clicking on the GUI to get it connected, most of my bugs have shown up here. (I Would say about 5 minutes per device).

I have the server reading the current state form Lutron and passing it to Loxone. And I have a Toggle function build in the server that can change the state of the switch when Loxone Touch is triggered.

I also have it set up so that if ambient light is enough then the lights are switched off after a delay.

I have some lutron dimmers in my home and also Loxone.

How reliable is this method of integration?

How long would it take to interface 30 lutron switches into Loxone's App?

I recently updated the project to be bi-directional. One of the problems was when people directly activated the lutron switches, loxone would have the wrong information about it and would behave incorrectly sometimes. 

With the recent update to https://github.com/sushilks/lutronjs there is support for bidirectional communication if someone activates the switch the loxone side is also updated automatically. You can pick in a configuraiton file what is updated on the loxone side, it could be a virtual input or the state of the lighting controller.
