Had the system with about 10 dimmer/switches and 4 picos up and configured on a regular bridge, and it worked fine, never missed a beat.
Wanted to experiment with integration with Home Assistant, so bought a Pro bridge.
Deleted everything from the old bridge, deleted account, tried to reuse with the pro bridge - failed, already in use.
Set up a new email, and created a whole new account. Worked fine, and set up all the dimmers, then paired the picos with the dimmers (directly not through the app -- that may have been wrong).
I now have some weird things happening.
Every light with a pico works fine from the switch and from the pico, but much of the time will not turn on from the android application. Yet when I use the android application it responds by showing the light on, but no light.
If I use the physical switch the application shows the right status, and the light does change; same with using the pico.
Weirdness #1: there seems to be a proximity aspect to this. When I get closer to the bridge (which coincidentally is closer to the lights) then it starts working as expected. Yet it is not a wifi signal issue, as if I fire up Home Assistant the phone app will cause the home assistant to show the light is also on, as does the phone app (but light is off). So the pro bridge is itself thinking the light turned on -- why my proximity then matters I do not know. Note one of these dimmers is only about 12' from the bridge.
Moreover, all items WITHOUT picos work, even ones much further way, and they work every time, from the switch, from the app, from Home Assistant.
I have reproduced all the issues with Home Assistant stopped by the way, it is not interfering.
This may be a coincidence, but thinking I needed to register the picos with the app instead, I de-associated one (3 tapes, 6 second hold, 3 taps) and then associated it through the app. For a couple tries it worked fine, then the problem returned.
Weirdness #2: Sometimes it works but with a 2-3 second delay. I.e. push on on the app, it immediately shows as on on the app, but a few seconds later the physical light turns on. Sometimes; most times if I am a bit away it just does not turn on.
Again -- every switch and the bridge are in exactly the same place as the non-pro bridge, and the non-pro bridge worked every time, perfectly.
The bridge was drop shipped directly from Lutron by the way, brand new.
Should the pro behave differently when not being accessed by a 3rd party app?
Note turning telnet access off does not affect the problem.
Any ideas? Any way to get logs or some kind of indicator of the problem? If needed I can get a sniff of the traffic, but I think it's https (right?) so probably won't tell me much.
Thanks in advance for any help.
