I was inspired by this so I wanted to see if Claude Code can get into my Lutron home automation system. - it found my Lutron controllers on the local wifi network - checked for open ports, connected, got some metadata and identified the devices and their firmware - searched the internet, found the pdf for my system - instructed me on what button to press to pair and get the certificates - it connected to the system and found all the home devices (lights, shades, HVAC temperature control, motion sensors etc.) - it turned on and off my kitchen lights to check that things are working (lol!) I am now vibe coding the home automation master command center, the potential is 🔥.And I'm throwing away the crappy, janky, slow Lutron iOS app I've been using so far. Insanely fun :D :D
