homebridge-lutron-caseta-leap VS homebridge-config-ui-x

Just installed a caseta smart hub and pico remote which I want to add to HomeKit via homebridge so have used the plugin : homebridge-lutron-caseta-leap

I also installed a Lutron Caseta Pico Remote on the wall to act as a switch for the fan's light. The fan light is the only overhead light in this room, so it's important that it works reliability. I bridge the Pico Remote into HomeKit with the HomeBridge Caseta LEAP plugin.

The Lutron Caseta LEAP plugin does allow you to use Pico remotes with HomeKit through the standard Smart Bridge.

Note that the “errors that aren’t errors” issue already has a bug report: Errors reported in the log · Issue #71 · thenewwazoo/homebridge-lutron-caseta-leap · GitHub

Here’s the plugin: https://github.com/thenewwazoo/homebridge-lutron-caseta-leap

I've got an open-source Homebridge plugin (https://github.com/thenewwazoo/homebridge-lutron-caseta-leap) that has a bug in its client-handling code. There is some problem with connection handling that is causing user pain. I am an experienced developer, but new to Typescript, and absolutely cannot chase it down. I would love the help of someone with Node socket coding knowledge willing to take a look.

Another welcome addition is that with Homebridge and this plugin, you can assign the buttons to any HomeKit commands instead: https://github.com/thenewwazoo/homebridge-lutron-caseta-leap

You can now get the regular bridge into Homebridge. I’ve been using it for a few weeks. https://github.com/thenewwazoo/homebridge-lutron-caseta-leap

There is already a report https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge-config-ui-x/issues/1912

I can't even search for plugins without getting a similar timeout error. I've tried everything in the Troubleshooting page, and the only thing that works at all is disabling ipv6 on my Eero Pro 6e network, which seems like a less desirable option. The Pro 6e doesn't have Homekit security features, and I don't have advanced security turned on. I've tried disabling ipv6 on the RPi and in Homebridge, but I'm only following random posts I find online, so I'm not even sure if I did that correctly. Sometimes I make a change and can no longer get into Homebridge through the portal, then I have to reinstall.

All these Terminal commands can be found here or in Terminal by typing

You should post a new enhancement issue to the repo

hb-service is part of the config-ui-x plug-in. You’ll need to install that first.

The UI has its own rest api

You should be able to remove specific accessories from displaying in Home via your homebridge, you can start homebridge in insecure mode: https://github.com/oznu/homebridge-config-ui-x/wiki/Enabling-Accessory-Control which should enable you to control accessories.
