Hey Don,
Quick question as I'm looking into this again. I know with Caseta normally the Pico is paired directly to the dimmer on the wall, and even if I use the Wink hub it seems like it still pairs it directly as Wink can be unplugged and it works. So I assume that's the ideal way since it's fastest etc.
If the Lutron bridge basically does the same thing, does that mean that if I want instant control that doesn't require HS3 to be up and I have the Pico paired to the dimmer via the bridge, does that mean I lose control of the Pico? Like for example, right now if I pair it with Wink, the On/Off of course controls the load, the small dimmer up and down control the brightness, and the middle button is the favourite button which I don't think does anything in Wink. If I use your plugin, am I able to have the ON/OFF control the dimmer directly, but then program the other buttons like the smaller bright and dim and have them do something else other than control the brightness of that light? For example pressing up on the small dimmer button turns on the Hue lights? Or if I want control of all Pico buttons do I need to not pair it to the dimmer and do that via events, like "If Pico 1 button ON is pressed, turn on the dining room lights"? Thanks!
