TL;DR: Is there a way to group Lutron RadioRA 2 switches into groups in OmniPro II for Myro:Home on iOS?
I am replacing my (many) Vizia RF+ switches with Lutron’s RadioRA 2. The RA 2 switches are working fine with my OmniPro II, including 2 way status updates (i.e. changes from iOS Lutron app immediately reflect in OmniPro interface, and vice versa). My issue is how the switches are organized in the OmniPro. I’m using Myro:Home (which replaced the Haiku iOS app), and when I had Vizia RF+ switches installed, they were grouped by the “RMx” number in the PC Access Units page (e.g. Units RM1-2, RM1-3 … RM1-8, were grouped onscreen under the RM1 Unit which had a Node ID of 0). I could turn On or Off all 7 lights in a RM group by simply tapping on the RM1 name (or telling Alexa to turn on/off the lights with the name of the room). It also made it easier to find individual lights on the screen since all of the lights within a room were indented under the room name on the Control tab of the iOS app.
When I installed the RadioRA 2 switches and added them to PC Access, it doesn’t seem to have the concept of a room grouping. So now in Myro:Home all of my switches are in one giant messy list, making it very difficult to find individual lights. When I look at the Lutron Integration Report I can see they have individual IDs for each of the Rooms that I defined in the Lutron design software, but as best as I can tell, those Lutron Room groupings are supposed to be used to denote physical switch locations in the house, which doesn’t always equate to which rooms the switches control. For example, my Foyer area has a couple of different 3 gang wall plates, and in one of these, one of the switches controls landscape lights, another controls floodlights by the garage, and one controls a ceiling light in the Foyer. If I create a PC Access Unit with the Lutron Integration ID assigned to the Foyer “Room”, tapping on this in Myro:Home or PC Access’s Status/Control page doesn’t seem to affect any of the switches in that Lutron group, but even if it did, I don’t want the landscape and flood lights to toggle along with the Foyer ceiling lights.
Can someone explain to me if there’s supposed to be a way to use RadioRA 2 switches and still have PC Access / Myro:Home group them by functional area? Vizia RF+ design software didn’t try to group the switches by wall plate group like Lutron does, so you could simply group the Node IDs by functional groups, letting you put up to 7 switches under one group (or Room) name. It’s hard to believe a high-end lighting solution such as Lutron RadioRA 2 doesn’t have a way in OmniPro to separate the Units into functional groups.
I tried creating some Rooms in the PC Access Extended Setup, but Myro:Home doesn’t seem to “see” these (or maybe I’m doing something wrong?). Thx.
