Adding Lutron Caseta Bridge Home Assistant is a bit complicated. The Component page gives a link to the python script to generate the necessary files and directs to follow the instructions at the top of the script. But the instructions in the script are not easy for newbies to follow. Here is what I did to get it done. These are for mac, but should be easy to follow in other OS as well. This assumes that python3 is installed.
Traceback (most recent call last) File "get_lutron_cert.py", line 156, in <module> leap_response['Body']['PingResponse']['LEAPVersion']) KeyError: 'Body'lutron_caseta:<br /> host: <your local ip address><br /> keyfile: caseta.key<br /> certfile: caseta.crt<br /> ca_certs: caseta-bridge.crtRestart your Home Assistant and you will see the Lutron dimmers added to your system.
It is a good idea to reserve the local ip that was used to generate the keys in your router. I generally reserve all my device ip once they work successfully in Home Assistant.
I referred to several fragmented sources to get the full picture of this integration. Particularly, I am thankful to the following:
