homebridge-lutron-caseta-leap VS lutron-leap-js

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

I haven't tested my own library with a QSX because I don't have one (and can't justify the cost), but some users have experimented with it. The python library has a lot more traffic (since it underpins HomeAssistant and not HomeKit/Homebridge) and very likely has been tested with the QSX.

LEAP is the name of the proprietary protocol that Lutron uses to communicate with its devices (via IP, not RF) like the SmartBridge 2, RA3 processor, etc. I've written a partial implementation to support my plugin.

The RadioRA3 integration is fairly beta: https://github.com/thenewwazoo/lutron-leap-js but otherwise RA3 is the best fit for you.

Here is a Github repo with support for local control of some RA3 LEAP devices. I've been watching that to track progress as (hopefully) more RA3 devices are added.
