pylutron-caseta

A Python API to control Lutron Caséta devices.

Getting started

Use get_lutron_cert.py to obtain caseta.key caseta.crt and caseta-bridge.crt. These files are used for authentication between your code and the Caséta bridge. See instructions at the top of get_lutron_cert.py for more information.

Alternatively, your code can use the pairing module to generate the necessary certificates at runtime.

Once you have those files, you can connect to the bridge and start controlling devices.

import asyncio

from pylutron_caseta.smartbridge import Smartbridge

async def example():
    # `Smartbridge` provides an API for interacting with the Caséta bridge.
    bridge = Smartbridge.create_tls(
        "YOUR_BRIDGE_IP", "caseta.key", "caseta.crt", "caseta-bridge.crt"
    )
    await bridge.connect()

    # Get the first light.
    # The device is represented by a dict.
    device = bridge.get_devices_by_domain("light")[0]
    # Turn on the light.
    # Methods that act on devices expect to be given the device id.
    await bridge.turn_on(device["device_id"])

    await bridge.close()


# Because pylutron_caseta uses asyncio,
# it must be run within the context of an asyncio event loop.
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(example())
