Pico added to gang
Attached is a retrofit installation we finished today. Before that, the client had three switches which as you can see were replaced with PD-6WCLs. Then we added a fourth position to the gang for a Pico remote control. The Pico was assigned to control all lights. The upper buttons therefore turns everything on, and the lower button turns everything off. The middle button sets lights to 50% and the Raise/Lower buttons, well, that we all know what they do.
Question 1: can the middle button be programmed to 30% instead of 50%?
Question 2: Can we program the Pico to turn everything on but at a pre-defined level (let's say 75%)? I only managed to do that using Scenes on the Lutron app, but client is not always with her phone and app opened when she arrives home.
Thank you in advance.

If you lower all the dimmers to 30% and then hold the center button for 6-7 seconds, the "favorite" will remember those levels. As far as a pre-set, Caseta does not have that feature.

One mistake Lutron made on these. The main dimmer needs a favorite button like the picos.

If you wanted this 75% level to be a permanent level for the On button. You could set the high-end trim of the dimmers to that level. Then even if you activate it at the dimmer, through the app, or through a pico to "100%" , it would really only allow it to go to the high-end trim you set at 75%.

@Dimerize Another option would be to replace the Pico remote that you currently have installed with a 4-button scene Pico remote (part number PJ2-4B-WH-L31P). The 4-button Pico remotes are considered a pro product, meaning they're not sold online or at retail, but you can purchase one through your local Lutron distributor. The 4-button scene Pico allows for 3 "favorite" scenes plus an all off button. In your application you could program one of the buttons to set all lights to 75%, another button to set all lights to 30%, and you'll have one button left over to set a third scene. Bottom button must be used as an all off. More information about the 4-button Pico remotes can be found here, http://www.lutron.com/TechnicalDocum...ary/369941.pdf.

@Eric H. Thanks for the info. The model L31 seems to be the best one for my case. Great tip. Thanks again.
