[Lutron](http://www.lutron.com/) is an American lighting control company. They have several lines of home automation devices that manage light switches/dimmers, occupancy sensors, HVAC controls, etc. The `lutron` component in Home Assistant is responsible for communicating with the main hub for these systems.
|
|
|
|
Presently, there's only support for communicating with the [RadioRA 2](http://www.lutron.com/en-US/Products/Pages/WholeHomeSystems/RadioRA2/Overview.aspx) Main Repeater and only handle light switches and dimmers.
|
|
|
|
When configured, the `lutron` component will automatically discover the rooms and their associated switches/dimmers as configured by the RadioRA 2 software from Lutron. Each room will be treated as a separate group.
|
|
|
|
To use Lutron RadioRA 2 devices in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file using the IP address of your RadioRA 2 main repeater:
|
|
|
|
``` yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
lutron:
|
|
host: IP_ADDRESS
|
|
username: lutron
|
|
password: integration
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
|
|
- **host** (*Required*): The IP address of the Main Repeater.
|
|
- **username** (*Required*): The login name of the user. The user `lutron` always exists, but other users can be added via RadioRA 2 software.
|
|
- **password** (*Required*): The password for the user specified above. `integration` is the password for the always-present `lutron` user.
|
|
|
|
<p class='note'>
|
|
It is recommended to assign a static IP address to your main repeater. This ensures that it won't change IP addresses, so you won't have to change the `host` if it reboots and comes up with a different IP address.
