I’ve been trying to set up a double-tap automation for my Lutron dimmers, and I’m curious if anyone has a cleaner solution than what I’ve come up with so far. Here’s the situation: I have Lutron 2-button Picos controlling some dimmers, and I’d like to make a double tap dim the lights to 5%. Right now, the Lutron hub is handling the dimmer commands, so every single press turns the light on to 100%. I’d like to keep that functionality for reliability but also add the double-tap feature for convenience.
I’ve tried setting up a rule where the Hubitat listens for the button presses. The idea is that the first press would do nothing (since Lutron is already handling it), and the second press would trigger the dim to 5%. But I’m running into some logic issues because Hubitat seems to catch the first press and get confused about the state.
Does anyone have experience with this kind of setup? Maybe using a variable to track the number of presses or some sort of delay? I’d love to hear if there’s a more elegant way to achieve this without getting too bogged down in workarounds. It would be awesome to have both the reliability of the Lutron hub and the convenience of a double-tap feature.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
