True and I agree. I wanted zigbee sensors, it was one of the things that brought me to SmartThings to begin with.
Lutron is great for lighting and window coverings, I really hope to see eventual SmartThings/Lutron official local integration, not just through IFTTT.
But speaking of Maker community, check this out:
My house came with two different lighting systems, about 40 Decora style stand-alone Lutron dimmers, and a Lutron RadioRA lighting system for the main living areas. The stand-alone dimmers were all replaced with Leviton Z-Wave dimmers, and incorporated in SmartThings. The issue remained of what to do with the Lutron RadioRA system.
I have created an integration of Lutron RadioRA into SmartThings. The integration is based on an Arduino Mega 2560 with ThingShield and RS232 shield connected via serial cable to a Lutron RadioRA RA-RS232 interface. One very cool thing about the integration is that all of the hardware connects via RF – there is no wiring involved. The integration is clean and does not interfere at all with the normal functioning of the Lutron system. If it is removed, or …
