Multi-dimmer Synchronization and Dimming Rates
I've been using multiple Caseta dimmers with the SmartBridge Pro and HomeKit for a month and a half now, and I've noticed two quirks that are bothersome:
1. When "scenes" are triggered within Lutron's app, a slower more pleasing fade rate is used. But when HomeKit scenes are triggered from outside Lutron's app, the changes are jarringly quick.
2. When scenes are changed from HomeKit, the dimmers are not triggered at the same time, there is some offset. Maybe this is always the case with Caseta regardless of the trigger source (does anyone know?), but it's definitely much more apparent with HomeKit scenes, because the fade rates are so fast that one dimmer finishes its fade before the other even begins sometimes!
Conclusion: I would like to see fade rate on HomeKit-triggered scenes match the Lutron app's usual rate, or the rate of the Pico remotes. Additionally, I'd like multiple dimmers to fire as simultaneously as possible.
Has anyone else noticed this and been bothered by it?
Does anyone know if fade rate is a parameter dictated by the SmartBridge? (which has updatable firmware?) I assume it must be controlled there.
