Lutron announces Connect Bridge for RadioRA2 (and HW QS)

[SDR-Mike]

Okay, so one thing that's REALLY irritating is that Lutron never intended for people to buy a non-HomeKit version now. Look how the BDG-1 isn't even an option:
Pretty bummed to have doorstops around here that are LESS THAN A YEAR OLD!

I would go ahead and try to activate the Gen1 Connect Bridge. Should go in no problem.

Oh, I'm sure that it will work. Just that they never expected the part to continue was my point. Not sure what I and my customers should do with the doorstops…

Does anyone know if you can connect RadioRA2 to Wink? Honeywell Tuxedo, Alexa

[ZORIN]

Can I link Radio RA2 to Wink and also Honeywell Tuxedo?

[pscheetz]

Wink = No

Honeywell Tuxedo, as far as I know if a control for a Honeywell security system. If the Alarm Panel can integrate to RA 2, then Tuxedo may be able to control it. What do you want it to do?

Alexa = Yes, with Connect Bridge and Connect App

[pscheetz]

BTW, if you are changing a Gen 1 Connect Bridge out, for a new CONNECT-BDG2-X, You MUST deactivate the old bridge, on your system, on your home network, before you can activate the new bridge.

Thus, if you just remove the old bridge, without deactivating it, you will not be able to activate the new bridge.

[schalliol]

Well, you just have to delete it and re-add, not "Deactivate" per a regular dimmer.

CONNECT-BDG2-X - Is this the model I need to communicate with Alexa? Honeywell Tuxedo has a light function. Not sure what it does. I assume it will tun lights off an on if armed or disarmed.
