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 SmartBridge for these systems. + +This component only supports the Caseta line of products. Current only supports Caseta dimmers as Home Assistant lights and caseta wall switches as Home Assistant switches. + +When configured, the `lutron_caseta` component will automatically discover dimmers and switches as setup in the Lutron SmartBridge. + +To use Lutron Caseta devices in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file using the IP of your lutron Smartbridge: + +``` yaml +lutron_caseta: + host: + username: lutron + password: integration +``` + +Configuration variables: + +- **host** (*Required*): The IP address of the Lutron SmartBridge. +- **username** (*Required*): The login name of the user. The user `lutron` always exists. +- **password** (*Required*): The password for the user specified above. `integration` is the password for the always-present `lutron` user. + +

+ It is recommended to assign a static IP address to your Lutron SmartBridge. 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. +
