Lutron’s Caséta system supports HomeKit quite well. Smart Dimmers and Switches appear in HomeKit and function correctly. But the exception is Pico Remotes, which still do not seem to be available for configuration via HomeKit.

Ideally, they would appear as stateless programmable switches like Philips Hue Tap does. Pico Remotes are pretty ideal controls because they can be wall-mounted to appear just like “real” Lutron dimmers.

If you have a Caséta Smart Bridge Pro and a Homebridge server, it’s possible to get this functionality via a no-longer-maintained homebridge plugin. But it’s somewhat silly to have to do this when the rest of the system already supports HomeKit directly from Lutron’s hub.

Lutron has been asked about this for years, but after several rounds of software updates without this support I’d like to more visibly ask for this functionality.
 
Yeah that’s kind of annoying. I have several of those remotes sitting in a drawer doing nothing. Would be nice if I can use them to trigger other HomeKit stuff.
