  1. You will need an Integration Report from your Caséta Smart Bridge Pro (L-BDGPRO2) or Radio Ra 2 Select Main Repeater (RR-SEL-REP2) for this process. This is obtained using the mobile device application. The report will be emailed to you by the application.

  2. Select the "Create Devices from Caséta Smart Bridge Pro" menu option.

  3. If you want all the created devices group by type (Dimmer, Keypad Button), select "Device Type". If you want all devices located in a specific Area (Room) grouped together, select "Device Location".

  4. If you use the pseudo-buttons from your Smart Bridge Pro, check the box.

  5. Paste the Integration Report (JSON data) into the text box. The data starts with these lines:

{
 "LIPIdList" : {
   "Devices" : [
     {

and ends with this:

     }
   ]
 }
}
  1. Click on the "Create" button. Watch the Indigo log for the completion message.

The JSON data for the Smart Bridge Pro does not have as much detail as the XML data used for the RRA2. In particular, the loads are not identified as Dimmers, Switches, Shades, etc. So the plugin creates all devices as Dimmers. Shades generally work the same as Dimmers (100% is full Open). If you need functionality specific to an Indigo device type, just edit the device and change the device type.

This process will not create duplicate devices. You can use the auto create process to update your existing devices with button type and area (room) information, which makes the room popups in the dialog boxes more useful.
