jebt2921 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Outstanding. Have several picos laying around and might be nice to use as zone volume control for things like patio and kitchen (although Alexa works great). Guessing this doesn’t need any driver and can be done in composer HE?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanDad Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 There's a specific Pico remote for audio control. You can use the regular Pico as well, but this is specifically engraved for the job. Works for Sonos, or for any other sort of C4 control. Just map whatever you want to the buttons : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your dealer has to add the driver and do the necessary bindings (to each Lutron device you want to control with C4) after you define the devices in the Lutron ap/hub. once that is done you can add/change any programming with HE.

jebt2921 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Programmed a caseta pico that’s was already added to my project to control all the audio on our patio. Thanks all!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSTRONG Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Now that Control4 has the new affordable Wireless lighting line, I would think most would want to stay with control4 lighting as opposed to Lutron's The new essential dimmers work just as good as the APD at less then half the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSTRONG Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 And I used to use the pico's in my home running control4. That 1 second + delay was a deal killer for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mod220 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 I currently have 70 Caseta on non-pro Bridge, I know I need Pro to work with C4, is there any easy way to change bridges without starting from scratch? And just to confirm, I get all the switches setup with Lutron, and THEN my dealer adds to C4? I just don’t want to redo this anymore times than I need to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t want to redo this anymore times than I need to Regarding the second question, yes, you set up everything in the Pro hub and then your dealer will add it to C4, probably using the new LEAP driver that brings over all the devices at once. As for your first question, I do not know.

I just don’t want to redo this anymore times than I need to To move from plain to pro you have to start setup all over again and redo everything. I've been told the LEAP driver import will work with plain bridge, but I haven't tried that myself. If you havene't set it up yet, I'd get a pro bridge, if you have, try the leap import first before redoing it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekki70 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 the leap driver will work with the regular bridge, not sure it will bring in more than 50 devices i cant remember, but it will work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mod220 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 thanks, guys. If I can save the money on not buying a Pro and not have to reprogram that's great. why am I reading some say the Pro is required, any additional features I would gain? any issue being above 50 devices?

Its old info. I thought the same and took a gamble on it from Home Depot. I figured i could return it if it didn't work. Worked great and it supports up to 75 devices per hub now. You can have multiple hubs in your Control4 project if you need to go over the 75 device limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LollerAgent Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 I was under the impression that the "pro" hub was the only one that exposed the API/interface required for the integration. Are you sure you don't have a "pro" hub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the hub, dimmer, pico as a package. The driver in composer pro is "Lutron LEAP RA2 and Caseta Processor" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanDad Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 1 hour ago, mod220 said: do Picos only work with Sonos? No - think of a Pico as a simple set of buttons that each have an ID within Composer. Each button can be used within C4 programming to trigger any corresponding action on the C4 side. If it's available as a programming event (HEOS play/pause for example) then it's available for the Pico. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t do a direct integration as I have them triggering things via Control4. You can trigger anything the driver supports the press and release action so you can do ramping of lighting loads.
