Controlling an Older Lutron Homeworks system

[gcortes (Curt Rowe)]

I have an older Lutron Homeworks lighting controller. It won’t support the recently announced Lutron Connect Bridge. It would be $1400 for a new processor that would let alone the bridge and the installation so I’m looking for an alternative. My controller has a fixed IP address on my LAN and I can control it from an iOS app that Lutron put out. Assuming the controller has an API and it’s available to me, would it be possible to write a SmartApp to talk to it? I’ve coded just about everything at one time or another.

Update

My Lutron system has telnet access. I believe I read a thread here from a couple of years ago that SmartThings was working on adding telnet support. Did that ever happen?

This works for me:

[OBSOLETE] I created a Lutron HomeWorks integration

No hardware or much of any setup necessary. Just enter your processor hostname/ipaddress and go. The integration auto-populates your devices. It uses the built-in web server, which means it only displays keypads and not individual devices. I have access to my Lutron programming, so I created a special keypad with buttons appropriate for smartthings, as my other keypads have a lot of duplicate and cryptic buttons. I doubt many Lutron HomeWorks owners are interested in SmartThings, but if you are give it a try, and let me know what you think! Also you’ll need to add the device handler from here:
