Logitech Harmony Integration with Caseta

Start Here

For general information regarding Logitech Harmony + Caseta, see Logitech Harmony support page.

Confirm that your apps/products from both companies are up to date. The apps can be updated through the Apple App Store or Google Play.

The Caseta Smart Bridge will firmware update automatically. If you need assistance updating your Harmony devices, see how to update Harmony devices.

Setup Procedure

1. Setup the Lutron Smart Bridge using the Caseta app and confirm control

   • Use the Caseta app to discover the Smart Bridge.
   • Add devices to the Smart Bridge by going to Settings > Add Device.
   • Ensure you can control your dimmers/switches using the Caseta app.

2. Setup your Harmony Hub and Remote

   • For assistance setting up Harmony products, see Harmony Hub setup guide.
   • Launch the Harmony mobile app and connect to your Harmony hub.
   • Navigate through the app: Select MENU, then Harmony Setup > Add/Edit Devices & Activities > Devices. This sequence is visualized in the app interface.
   • Select the "ADD DEVICE" button. The app then presents options to add different device types.
   • Select "SCAN FOR WI-FI DEVICES". Harmony will search for Lutron devices on the network.
   • Note: The Smart Bridge connects to the network via Ethernet, not Wi-Fi.
   • After the Smart Bridge is found on your network, press NEXT. The app will show a "DEVICES FOUND" screen, listing the detected Smart Bridge.
   • Note: If your Smart Bridge is not found, refer to the troubleshooting section.
   • Press on the Lutron Smart Bridge in the list of Devices. The app will then show "Retrieving devices" before listing them.
   • Verify that your Lutron devices, such as Lights and Plugs, show in the Harmony app. The app interface displays controllable devices with options to adjust settings.

Control

1. Adjust settings for Lutron Caséta Lights

   • Access the Devices screen and select Lutron Caséta Light.
   • On the settings screen for the selected light(s), you can see and set the brightness and turn the lights on/off.
   • Directly on the Devices screen, you can:
     • Tap the power icon next to the light to toggle it on/off.
     • To adjust brightness: Tap and hold on the light name until a vertical line appears. Slide your finger along this line to set the desired brightness. Release your finger to apply the setting. This interaction is shown on the Harmony remote interface.

2. Adjust height of Serena Shades

   • Access the Devices screen and select Lutron Serena Shades to see the current level of the shade.
   • Tap and hold the shade lever and slide your thumb/finger to set a new level. Release your thumb/finger, and the shades will move to the set position.

3. Activities

   • Within the Harmony app, you can include Lutron Caséta Lights and/or Serena Shades as part of a Harmony Activity. This allows you to automatically set the mood whenever you start the Activity.

Troubleshooting

1. Logitech cannot discover the Smart Bridge

   The Harmony Hub uses a type of multicast to discover the Smart Bridge on the network. If your Harmony Hub is having trouble discovering your Smart Bridge, the router could be blocking the multicast traffic. Also, if your Smart Bridge is not plugged directly into the router, multicast traffic may not be passed correctly through network devices like access points or managed network switches.

   It's also possible that the router isn't blocking this traffic globally. Some routers have settings to block multicast just over Wi-Fi, or even more specifically, just for Wi-Fi to Ethernet traffic. These are important settings to check because the Harmony Hub connects via Wi-Fi and the Smart Bridge connects via Ethernet.

   To ensure proper network security and functionality, it is recommended to contact a network professional if requiring assistance in changing your router's settings.

   • Connect the Lutron Smart Bridge and the Logitech Harmony Hub directly to the router.
   • Make sure that your software and hardware firmware are up to date.
   • Make sure that you can control your dimmers/switches using the Caseta app and that your Harmony Remote is communicating with your Harmony Hub.
