Counter Issue
DonMor,
1. Disabled Plug-in
2. Uninstalled the Caseta Plug in
3. Downloaded and installed the latest (ver .67)
4. Enabled the Plug in
5. Hit the REPAIR button in the Lutron Caseta Config menu.
6. Log generated an error on that one:
Oct-24 15:48:28 Error Exception during grammar generation, loading grammar: Could not find file 'C:\Program Files\HomeSeer HS3\Grammar\Grammar_Data_hometroller#Default.hs'.
7. Tried to "Press ON/OFF buttons" in the S6 Web Interface on several devices. Nothing happened, nothing in the log that any "triggers" occured.
8. Noticed that all the devices I was pressing in step 7 were on SmartBridge 3.
9. Pressed buttons for devices attached to Smart Bridge 1, worked. All showed up in the log as triggers as expected. And the web interface reflected the ON/OFF action. (Note, cannot verify with the eyeball, as I am not at home right now).
10. Pressed several buttons attached to Smart Bridge 2, the triggers showed up in the log, but the status in the S6 web interface did not reflect any changes, ie ON or OFF or dimmed. Don't know the real status of the lights.
Bottom Line: Devices on Smart bridge 1, seem to be working OK. Smart Bridge 2, partially, and nothing seems to work for Smart Bridge 3 devices.

Counter Issue Progress
DonMor,
Good Prelim results:
I rewrote / reimplemented the double tap programs for two devices that are on Smart Bridge 1. And they work just as expected, when I "press the button" via the web interface for the S6.
For the Storage Room Light, with the Bedroom Fan light as the secondary light.
1. Double tap OFF on storage room light......2ndary light goes ON
2. Triple tap OFF on storage room light......2ndary light goes OFF
3. Double tap OFF on Pico remote for the storage room light......2ndary light goes ON
4. Triple tap OFF on Pico remote for the storage room light.......2ndary light goes OFF
Bottom Line: It would appear that the logic is in place and working for devices attached to the First Smart Bridge. More testing will be required, of course, but this is progress.

Originally posted by ryuvannMy plugin updated fine each time but the Caseta dimmers themselves still won't increment the counter. The Pico remotes do now and work but the dimmers don't do anything when you press off. I'm using "A device had its value set to OFF" but it doesn't increment.
will dig it when I get back.

Originally posted by ryuvannI don't really know the difference, I just know that with my Insteon or Z-Wave (Instant Status) devices I can write a program:
If this device had its value set to: Insteon Kitchen Dimmer OFF
Then increment counter Kitchen Dimmer by 1
or
If this device had its value set to: Z-Wave Dining Room Dimmer OFF
Then increment counter Dining Room Dimmer by 1
And I can press off on either dimmer over and over and it increments the counter each time. The only ones I can't do that with are my Leviton Z-Wave dimmers as they are not instant status, and then the Caseta dimmers as well. Not the end of the world but it seems like HS3 doesn't register multiple taps from the Caseta's for some reason.

Pico Remote Counter Issue
DonMor,
I have now redone the programs so that in one instance I have an RF switch increment the double/triple tap counter. And double and triple taps do just fine, ie they turn the light on and off as expected.
Now I downloaded .68, and I set it up with an in wall dimmer, that is paired with a Pico Remote, and that dimmer, when turned OFF will trigger the double/triple tap counter. And it works just fine, ie the 2ndary light is turned ON with a double tap and OFF with a triple tap. The counter counts consistently based on the number of taps......and the log seems to follow, although the order in the log seems to be a bit out of step.
I am sure there will be more testing, but this looks good. And it now works on devices on Smart Bridge 1 and 3. Next I will test it with a device on Smart Bridge 2 as the double/triple tap device.

Additional Testing for Counters - Good and Bad
DonMor
ryuvann's working /failing conditions now mirror mine.
Once home this evening, I manually double and triple tapped the three different types of Caseta devices I have tied to the program.
The following two devices did NOT trigger anything when MANUALLY double / triple tapped:
Caseta RF Switch, the variety that requires neutral, PD-6ANS.
Caseta In Wall dimmer (600 Watt variety) PD-6WCL
And the log reflected this, i.e. NO triggers detected / reported / recorded, and the "BBQ Can Counter" was never incremented. I have attached the basic programs in a pdf.
On the other hand, The Pico Remote, PJ2-3BRL‑LA‑L01R, 5 button (ON/OFF, Raise/Lower and Favorite DID) work manually. It was tied to the Caseta In Wall dimmer above.
Further, I tested them all again by double/triple tapping the OFF button via the Web Interface, and they all worked, i.e. they turned ON the 2ndary Light when double tapped, and turned OFF the 2ndary light when triple tapped.
Current Bottom Line:
1. Basic counters and implemented double/triple tap logic work when triggered through the S6 Web Interface.
2. Basic counters and implemented double/triple tap logic work when triggered manually by a Pico 5 button remote.
3. Basic counters and implemented double/triple tap logic do NOT work when triggered manually by a Caseta RF switch or a Caseta In Wall dimmer.
That is what I have seen for now.........

After many test, when a switch connected to a load is off or at 100% it won't send any information to the bridge when it is at is level, this was test with the telnet and the SSH communication so no way we will be able to use double tap with a switch that control a load.
pico is independent so you can do the double with that.
Sorry for this bad news.

That's disappointing to say the least. Perhaps in the future you will consider reducing the price of your plug-in to attract more people over to trying it. As is right now I feel it is far too expensive for just a beta with such limited features compared to other plugins of the same price.
We pulled out and sold all our Lutron equipment after our trial just ended as we need something more reliable that people actually use.
