Notes / Gotchas
- The Lutron SmartBridge 2 (
0024fcfce6e52a4465c4fbadc16d4ef2) is assigned to the Media Room but serves as the hub for ALL Lutron Caseta devices in the whole home. - BRAVIA 4K UR2 appears multiple times in device registry: Cast, AndroidTV Remote, DLNA DMR, and Music Assistant — each integration sees it separately.
- The
letpotintegration is insetup_retry— LetPot plant lights may intermittently drop. - VLC-TELNET provides a local audio output target for TTS and Music Assistant.
