💡 Lutron Skill

"Hey Claude, turn off the lights" — and it actually works.

A Clawdbot skill for controlling Lutron Caseta smart lights locally. No cloud. No latency. Just vibes.

✨ What This Does

Lets your AI assistant control your Lutron Caseta lights:

• 🌙 "Turn off all the lights"
• 🔆 "Dim the bedroom to 30%"
• 🍳 "Kitchen lights on"

All via local network — works even if Lutron's servers are having a bad day.

📋 Requirements

• Lutron Caseta Smart Bridge Pro (the regular one won't work, sorry 😢)
• Telnet Support enabled — it's a toggle, we'll show you where
• Python 3.8+
• 10 seconds of your time to press a button

🚀 Setup

Step 1: Enable Telnet Support

Open the Lutron app on your phone:

Settings → Advanced → Integration → Telnet Support → ON

While you're there, tap Network Settings and note the IP address.

Step 2: Run Setup

./scripts/setup.sh <your-bridge-ip>

When it says "PRESS THE BUTTON" — find the tiny button on the back of your bridge (you might need a paperclip 📎) and press it.

That's it. You're paired. 🎉

Step 3: Control Stuff

# See what you've got
./scripts/lutron.sh list

# Turn things on/off (0 = off, 100 = full brightness)
./scripts/lutron.sh 12 50      # Device 12 to 50%
./scripts/lutron.sh all 0      # Everything off (goodnight!)
./scripts/lutron.sh all 100    # Party mode 🎊

🔧 How It Works

1. Pairing generates TLS certificates (stored in ~/.clawdbot/lutron/)
2. Control uses the local LEAP protocol over TLS
3. No cloud = fast, private, reliable

Under the hood, we use the excellent pylutron-caseta library.

🐛 Troubleshooting

| Problem | Fix | |---------|-----| | "Connection refused" | Is Telnet Support ON? Check the IP? | | "Certificate error" | Re-run setup.sh to re-pair | | "Device not found" | Run lutron.sh list to see valid IDs | | Bridge exploded | That's not our fault but please let us know |
