Add 2nd Lutron Caseta Pro Hub into Plugin?

[RichTJ99]

Hi,

I am running into an issue where i am running out of my 75 device limit for Caseta.  I was planning on adding Caseta hub #2 to Home Assistant but i do like how the Eisy handles Insteon and Caseta devices as all 'native' devices for programing.  Plus my home assistant does crash periodically where the Eisy doesnt crash (hope i didnt jinx myself).  

Can I add another hub into the Eisy?  If i can i am a little confused on how to do that.

Thanks,

Rich

@RichTJ99 more than likely you would install the plugin in another slot and run the second hub in that instance of the plugin. Plugins can be installed in multiple slots. I don’t use this one so not entirely sure, but would be my best suggestion.

It will depend on how the hub is added. For example If it's by manually defining it's IP address as a parameter, then you could probably define two hubs in two instances of the plugin. If however it's by an automated discovery process, then the plugin would need to be able to handle finding more than one.

So I'm not entirely sure how the EISY did it but the first hub has a static IP.  

 

If I can make to work within the EISY I don't mind deleting and redoing it from scratch if necessary. I'm not entirely sure how to define the hub by IP address so that I could define a second one? Is there any documentation on how to do that? 

 

Thanks

Yes, the same way you added the first one.

1. Install a second copy of the Caseta plug-in in an unused slot
2. Set the IP address of the second hub in the plug-in configuration
3. Press the black button on the hub to pair it when prompted by the plug-in
