| Lutron Caseta / Diva dimmer | Works Local | No neutral needed; only option for neutral-less box (dimmer version)Saved copy… that they require a neutral wire. OP’s diagram clearly shows that there is no neutral wire in the switch box. The only thing that I know will work is a Lutron Caseta or Diva smart dimmer, as they don’t require a neutral. It’s gotta be the dimmer version because the binary version requires the neutral. Excerpt saved from the Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-23. | Reddit comment · 2024-06 | |

| Lutron Pico buttons | Works Local | Can trigger automationsSaved copyLooks for cameras that support RTSP/ONVIF - that means you can hook up an NVR like Frigate or Scrypted without the cloud.

| Lutron RadioRA 2 keypads | Works Local | Keypad LED control and phantom LED tracking addedSaved copyDescription: Add support for controlling Lutron Keypad (RadioRA2 keypads) LEDs, and tracking the state of phantom keypad LEDs. Add additional event parameter (non breaking change) that provides the 'full' name of a button, including its area name, such that it's the same as the entity IDs created by the integration. This makes it more useful for creating button handler automations and the like.

| Lutron covers | Partly works | Partly in Home Covers stay at 'Opening...' and default to Closed after reboot | Cover works; HomeKit shows stuck Opening stateSaved copyI'm experiencing the exact same thing using the Lutron component....the covers stay in a constant "opening..." status in Homekit (incidentally, covers also default to a "Closed" status in Homekit after a reboot of Home Assistant even if they're open, so attempting to change them to open results in them sticking in an "opening..." status).
