    Feature Request: load/scene toggle control for Picos

    I recently ran into a situation where mounting a pico at the midpoint on a hallway was the best solution for a switch location we couldn't get a wire to. All fine and good but in programming i come to find out we can't set pico buttons to toggle loads/scenes... only on/off so with a 4 button pico i can only control 2 loads or scenes... this doesn't make since to me and feels more like an oversight as the pico can control shade toggleswe ended up still using this a solution but we have the pico being tracked by an automation system and are sending the toggle control from the automation; but this is more convoluted than it should be.

    Not technically possible, according to Lutron. The Pico is a one-way radio, meaning it can only transmit messages. They say that enabling a toggle on a transmit-only device would not work well. Keypads are two-way so it is possible to query their state, making sure everything works well. While I also wish a Pico could do toggles, I understand that it is advantageous to have a system that works correctly all the time rather than something that is supposed to have better features but is unreliable. Hope this helps.

    Isn’t “toggle” a single command non-determinant of load state?

    Lutron does make a Pico that toggles but it only works with HomeWorks and maybe some of the commercial stuff.

    Yes, toggle is a discrete command. The current design of the Pico has discrete on and off commands so a toggle command would be redundant.

    I'd still like to see that 4-button toggle model make its way to Caseta/RA2 Select/RadioRA 2.

    I second Randy.

    I would love to see the four button toggle Pico come to Radio RA2.
