    Linking/Association problem

    I am trying to link/associate a RA2S switch to the light switch in a HS-FLS100. The result is:
    RA ON -> FLS no response
    RA OFF -> FLS no response
    Nothing in HS log (with Lutron PI set to no debug logging)

    If I then use an event:
    IF Exterior Den RA2S NorthEast Flood Switch changes and becomes On
    THEN Set Device: Exterior Den NE Floodlight Sensor NE Floodlight to On
    The results are:
    RA ON -> FLS ON
    RA OFF -> FLS OFF
    Which works, but the question is "why do I need an event to trigger an ON, but the linking works fine with an OFF?" I now think it may be a bug in the PI.

    I turned on debug logging in the PI, disabled the above event (so I am depending on the linking/association only) and toggled the RA switch On, wait about 10s, Off. Again, the Floodlight did not respond. Here is the log:

    08/16/21 07:40:26 Legacy-Plugin LutronCaseta Debug ~ERROR,Enum=(1, 0x00000001)
    08/16/21 07:40:26 Legacy-Plugin LutronCaseta Debug ~ERROR,Enum=(1, 0x00000001)

    08/16/21 07:40:25 Legacy-Plugin LutronCaseta Debug Set Hs4 device on Caseta- to :0.00
    08/16/21 07:40:25 Legacy-Plugin LutronCaseta Debug go to ~output18 1 0.00

    08/16/21 07:40:13 Legacy-Plugin LutronCaseta Debug go to ~output18 1 100.00
    08/16/21 07:40:13 Legacy-Plugin LutronCaseta Debug Receive: ~OUTPUT,18,1,100.00
    08/16/21 07:40:13 Legacy-Plugin LutronCaseta Debug ~OUTPUT,18,1,100.00
    08/16/21 07:40:13 Legacy-Plugin LutronCaseta Debug ~OUTPUT,18,1,100.00
    08/16/21 07:40:02 Legacy-Plugin Z-Wave Device: Zwave Node 4 SE Motion Sensor Set to NOTIFICATION for type Home Security, Event: No Event
    08/16/21 07:39:55 Legacy-Plugin LutronCaseta Debug ~ERROR,Enum=(1, 0x00000001)
    08/16/21 07:39:55 Legacy-Plugin LutronCaseta Debug ~ERROR,Enum=(1, 0x00000001)

    I believe you can ignore the notification ffrom SE Motion Sensor.

    I never try the link, I will test it with the Windows HS tonight, and get back with the result.

      I don't use Linking but my understanding is that it only works with similar devices. Check the device values that represent Off and On for the devices you are linking (Status/Graphics tab). You will probably find Off is 0 for both devices but perhaps On is represented by different values. Just a thought.

        Well that is true in this case. If I link 2 RA switches, the link works. And it is also true that the values are different: the FLS switch On is 255 and the RA switch is 100. Any issues/downside to messing with the ranges?

          That would be great. I should point out that linking does work between 2 RA switches, and as Steve pointed out, the On range values of the 2 switches I am trying to link (RA and FLS) are different: 100 for RA and 255 for FLS.

            If they were virtual devices you could change the values as you wish. However, for devices owned by plug-ins changing the values will break them. Best way is to link with events, if they have different control values.

              • About what I thought. Seems a shame: looks like the perfect use for linking. Thanks for the help from both of you.
