How to create a schedule in Caséta or RA2 Select
Overview
This guide describes how to add a schedule in the Lutron App to turn devices on/off at specific times or based on the time of day.
Things to keep in mind
- Schedules set the lights at a specific time on the days selected. If you want to have lights turn on and then turn off, you have to make two Schedules that work together.
- Schedules depend on the Smart Hub (formerly Smart Bridge) or Main Repeater having a proper internet connection so that they can have accurate time. If the time is unable to be retrieved from the internet, the Schedules may not fire at the proper time.
- Sunset and sunrise times are calculated without considering weather. It is possible that on a dark day due to clouds, it appears that a sunset-schedule triggered after it was dark.
- Schedules will appear in the Lutron App in the order they are set to activate. For example: A schedule set for 6:00AM will appear before a schedule set for 12:00PM, Sunset, etc. They will appear in order from 12:00AM through 11:00PM (or 0:00 hours through 24:00 hours).You will not be able to rearrange them within the app.
