Limitations and features
The Lutron app allows users to control the following types of 3rd-party HomeKit devices:
- Thermostats
- Change thermostat mode
- Change setpoint
- Ceiling fans
- Change fan speed (in 25% increments)
- If the ceiling fan fixture also has a light, the user can also control the lights
- Change the direction of the fan (clockwise/counter-clockwise) on the edit screen
- Change the name and icon of the fan on the edit screen
If you have paired another HomeKit to device to your iPhone/iPad using that device manufacturer's app, then it will also appear in the Lutron app.
3rd party HomeKit devices cannot be removed from the Lutron app, but they can be hidden if the you do not want to see them on the Settings screen (ex. Configure Homepage).
